Fully intend to grab some of the recent pieces of artwork to post on the blog but time always seems to fritter away from me. I am aware that things here are a bit wordy, and I've done some nice pieces of art (freelance and the like) recently so do want to get my act in gear and get it on here but time will get there sometime. I hope.
Exam went well thanks to them what asked here and elsewhere.... Or at least I think it went ok... Won't know for 8 weeks (plus whatever the people I did it through add onto that) but I did my best anyhow. Of the two storylines I chose to sign on (when you go in you get the choice of two cue cards with four cartoon pictures on it which you then have to sign as a story) I picked the holiday one (husband and wife fly out to Malaga) as opposed to a story of three people disco dancing around a handbag and one breaking his leg. All told I preffered the holiday one, although partially that was because of the two choices it was the better drawn. Which is an obtuse reason to choose it I know. I sort of kind of felt that, if I chose the other, I would be showing an interest in some pictures that weren't that inspiring to me....
Aaaaanyhow, was weird though, having an exam in a room equidistant from the two rooms I teach in at the college. That was odd. Had coffee with one of the media teachers prior to the exam and then bumped into another on the way out. The paperwork that followed the exam said not to talk to any of the students when you'd finished. I hope that bumping into a tutor testing out a steady cam and saying hallo isn't too much of a wrongness.
Next exam tonight: Community and Culture. 7pm so that means for the.... Hmmm... seventh time in 10 years? I miss youth group. Always a weird feeling and I always wonder whats happening when I'm not there so hopefully that won't be too distracting.
Spent some of the rest of the day yesterday writing and chilling out. Watched a film for the first time in ages without feeling guilty about not working (Ghost in the Shell 2 if'n you're interested). Up to chapter 7 (still I think, haven't written a whole block for a while but keep pecking away at it regardless. Looking forward to seeing what people think of some new directions. Have got a couple more pages to write about one characters motivations then there's a biggie scene, not in terms of length but in terms of foreshadowing. Looking forward to writing that in a big way but requires some research before I start it...) Am also gearing up to a relaunch of Sylver 2, hopefully at the Guildford Book Festival, or at least on or around those weeks, so am chilling out today (after practise and sign video watching) before a shedload of work next week for the arts centre and for the book stuff... Then a week off and then thrown into two summer schools.
Arrgh, the fun never ends :) Anyhow, toodle pip, Strawberry's and all :) off to watch a CACDP tape.
