The day i was utterly dreading (results day) has been and gone, and absolutely left me over the moon, surprised and relieved.
I really did believe i was going to get a low grade but as it turns out, i did pretty well.
This situation is reminiscent of when i was a child, and how everything i did (despite not doing it to my best ability…sometimes), i always managed to come up smelling of roses. Lucky!
I’m absolutely looking forward to the MA at UoC… i really couldnt wish to be under the wing of a better team.
I’m currently working on a short experimental film, and im looking for venues to display a collective exhibition i’ve been organising for the past month.
Everyone seems to be graduating around now…UoC arts dont graduate until November. Gutted!
The past 2 months have been quite the rollercoaster, with more downs than ups. This seemingly defies the laws of the coaster in that it has to go up to come down, however, the rollercoaster (and karma) haven’t been playing the fair ball gane with me recently.
The degree show went well, and my work ended up that bit better thanks to the window light source disagreeing with my images in my specified space, this resulted in me moving spaces onto a makeshift wall i was then able to paint black. The black wall made what was a set of 12 images, look like just one piece of work which in turn ended up echoing my concept really well.
I’ve been seriously considering doing the Masters degree (at UOC) for a while now, and the past few weeks i’ve had my heart set on it. Infact, im sure if i wasn’t looking forward to doing the Masters my head would be in a pretty bleak place right now.
It’s worked out for the best that my relationship of nearly 4 years ended recently, because one of the main things i’ve been considering is whether i can focus on the Masters degree enough to justify spending all the money it costs. And now thats over, im actually ready for my life to be just me and the Masters for the next 2 years with no distractions.
Also, im determined to do myself some academic justice on the MA. I haven’t done anywhere near aswell as i could’ve on the BA. And I absolutely have no excuse as to why i didnt.
All this determination and focus is on something i’ve applied for but isn’t yet set in stone until of course, my application gets accepted.
Fingers crossed!
