The degree show is now over. We have to go in tomorrow to remove everything, and I've been planning what I need to do to get everything out smoothly. Not quite sure how I'll get it all in the car, but I'll manage somehow!
I found out my grade for this semester on Friday, and though I don't want to go into specifics, I am happy with what I got – big relief! I suppose it's hard to judge sometimes, even though in theory you know what you're being assessed on, you're basically setting up for an assessment at the same time as a public exhibition, and that can be hard to balance in some ways.
I definitely want to do an MA in the not too distant future – I looked into a few, and even started filling in applications, around the Christmas break, but I wouldn't have been able to make good enough applications without jepordising the work I was doing at the time, as a lot of effort was required for the application process. I'm glad I waited, because I feel that now I'm in a much better position to be writing proposals, etc – I have a few ideas of future projects I'd like to do etc, so I'm feeling quite positive about that. The next challenge will be to get a part time job which I can balance with keeping my practice going and with all the accompanying administration.
I borrowed my friend's digital SLR camera to photograph my work while it was still up, which should help in terms of documentation for the future.
Now I just need to clear some more space in the car…
