logansrogueI was sick, I was weary, I was loathing the thought of working through the holiday season. But when I gave myself a day of thinking about it, I realised I'd miss it. I'd miss having something to do. I'd miss the challenge, the pressure and I'd miss this:
This is the comments I got for my last assessment:
The score I got? 90.
So yeah, I'm not quitting. Not for now. It's hard going, but I deserve to succeed in this, and it's teaching me good things. I'm feeling good about myself for the first time in ages. I've been in a place where I feel good about my body and my looks, and now I'm in a place where I feel good about my brains.
You know what? The latter feels SO MUCH BETTER. Looks are fleeting, it's a pressure, it's a chore sometimes. BRAINS ARE FOREVER, YO! *dances with delight*
This is the comments I got for my last assessment:
Your submission was clear and work for Project One Exercise One and Two was documented well. Your ability to muse on the work of other artists, synthesize information pertaining to the ideas behind their work, and then use this knowledge to fuel your own art investigations was great to see. Your Visual Diary was adequate for this submission; it is proving to be a good repository for ideas and information pertaining to your work. It was encouraging to see you brainstorming in this document. I hope that you can continue to flesh out your ideas and thoughts to do with your work in your Visual Diary for future submissions. Your focusing on something you noticed in the process of making your first experiment with wax and sand is to be commended. Looking more closely at the fragile edges of the wax and exploring this more thoroughly in subsequent explorations was exciting to see. Keep looking at the ‘periphery’ in order to glean inspiration from your own dealings with materials and techniques this Study Period Nancy. Well done.
The score I got? 90.

Date: 2011-12-23 09:12 am (UTC)I'm good at art. Wanking about art I am also good at, it seems, which is huge cause I thought I was terrible at it for all these years. I guess talking about fandom things on the internet has actually done me some good. Deep-level obsessive examination of media phenomenon has made it easier for me to do something that, at 15, I found almost impossible!
