I can’t believe how insanely busy I have been the last two weeks. In the midst of all the chaos, I have been acting very unlike myself. Today I went to pay for something, and thought I had lost my card. I spent 5 panicked minutes searching through my wallet, only for the cashier to gently tell me I had already placed it in the machine. Yesterday, I somehow forgot to bring home my bag with my all important memory stick and my £300 bursury cheque. I realized about 4 hours later that I had a metaphorical missing limb, and had to scramble back across town to collect it. Luckily all was safe. And to top it all off, I decided to cut my own fringe last week, due to lack of money and time. Thanks to overconfidence in my creative hairdressing skills, I now officially look as though I have escaped from the looney bin. At least my outside now matches my inside. However, even with all the madness, I seem to be getting things done.
I had an exhibition crit at the end of last week, and it was incredibly helpful. I have a much clearer vision of what I am going to have in the degree show, and how I can best present it. It does mean, however, that in between all the various things I have to accomplish, I still have a few practical things to sort out. But I do think I am not doing too badly with time at the moment. Although I am sure I will feel differently by the end of next week.
I have been making lists. Lists of lists, and sublists of my lists of lists. Time schedules, reminder notes, illegibly written questions on inappropriate papers. Perhaps I should write a proposal to be sponsored by “post-its”, or something.
I think our UWE Fine Art / Art and Visual Culture degree show webpage is supposed to go live today:
Stay tuned:
More.
Madness.
Next.
Week.
