Please excuse the quality of my images today – they are mobile phone specials! However, it is to give an idea of the sheer amount of grey I have covered in the past few days. The pictures were taken during the first and second coats so it does look better now, I promise. It has taken four coats and a lot of Elvis Costello, but the walls are now passably white rather than light grey. Such a relief! I have the technicalities of my projection screen worked out now so the task of building the thing looms but in all I'm feeling pretty positive and looking forward to my degree show experience. Sadly, it's taking its toll on relationships around the building as tensions run high and boiling points are reached (over small things like gum strip disappearances etc) but I don't believe for one second we are the first year or indeed the only institution to experience such things. It WILL be alright on the night I'm sure….. Anyway, keeping this brief today as I have a screen to build and a floor (a HUGE floor) to paint so not a lot of time for online procrastination. I hope all is going well for everyone else at this stage and that those who are finished are enjoying contemplation of their next step. Again, I apologise for the quality – or lack thereof – in the attached images. Must try harder (ie – remember to bring decent camera)….
