Today was as it has been for a while now, another busy day. First there was a meeting about the London Free Range Exhibition. I am still undecided whether to go or not. Its the financial side of the venture that is making me indecisive. Can I afford to live in London for a whole week? I know it would be a good experience, and that I should go. It is a dilemma.
The meetings are structured professionally as an exercise to prepare students for the world outside of University. It is good practise for those who are setting out on their career. Discussed at the meeting were the financial position of the group, the fund raising events, the design of the posters and website and other matters.
After the meeting we had another meeting, this time with the group be(longing), our external project exhibition group. I am dealing with our postcards, I must admit that it is quite hard to get any enthusiasm from the group. Everyone is so very stressed at the moment due to there being one week until the deadline for the dissertation hand in. Our exhibition opens on the 13th March, so there isn't much time to get everything organised. Tomorrow I shall walk over to Prontaprint and order our postcards. We are having 50 cards each with names, email and websites on the back of the postcards.
I needed to continue printing for my portfolio that I will be showing to the visiting curator on Friday. Jason is coming from Millennium Images to discuss and critique our work. I am quite happy with the work I am producing now, and I don't mind showing the prints that I have. I have a tutorial with Gwyn Jones tomorrow to help me get the saturation and levels etc right on my pictures for printing. At the moment, a few of them are too dark and also a couple appeared to have a green cast on them. I have 12 images to show.
By the time I had done all of this I felt very tired. I hadn't slept much last night and needed to come home. I have a tutorial with Richard tomorrow at 12 noon to go over my Dissertation; I haven't looked at it since we last met up last Friday. I feel terrible about this, but I just haven't been able to put my mind to it this past week and in all honesty I am so fed up of it. However, I will have to focus on it at the weekend and the beginning of next week. It has to handed in next Friday, and before that it needs to be bound. so I have no choice but to finish it by next Wednesday.
