Some major changes have been taking place in life a la Bobble this week. Mostly college related and mostly not good. After being in a quandry for the past few months about my postgraduate studies I have finally made some decisions (thanks for the advice Queener) about what direction I am going in.
Next week will be unpleasant and taxing by turns; but the outcome worth it I hope. But, I do find myself in the position of being able to continue work full time at my temporary job next term and earn some money for my Christmas New York trip, so making my mind up has had some compensations.
I will now have to read two extremely heavy critical theory books (when Amazon deigns to deliver them) and prepare a shit hot project proposal to support my next two years of study (any ideas?) in my new specialism area. Come early November I will also be reinterviewed by the weighty powers that be to ensure I have a place come January.
Wish me luck I am going to need it.

Good luck. The best things in life quite often are difficult, I’m sure it will be worth the hassle.

Sounds like a plan, Bobble – nothing ventured, nothing gained. Best of luck, hon.

At least there is a New York trip to look forward to. Money is so essential in that place, you can;t help but buy things, and that’s coming from me, the shopping hater…..

Thanks all. Yep, painful because I am totally changing my study direction and all the certainties and plans and dates and lecturers that I had all fall away.
On the upside (assumming I pass the proposal / interview) I have two good years to look forward to and not another year like last when no one knew what they were doing, my stuff wasn’t appraised and supervisors just didn’t turn up or seem to care. I hated it.
You’ll all be pleased to know I am doing “pure” photography now (if I get accepted) and have to think up a damn good critical theory proposal for it. I was thinking about the value and social interpretation of the travel photograph in the 21st century. But I am now rambling and boring and will shut up.

Dom: Only this term while I am waiting for my proposal to be looked at and awaiting interview / acceptance on my new course. I will be in the thick of it again next term but as it is better organised I can temp 2-ish days a week to earn my keep as I won’t qualify for a loan any more. Sadly I couldn’t afford the RCA (yet) so will continue (if they accept me) at CSM.
Oh and I am going to redouble my efforts to get my print sales business off the ground.
