... okay, to be perfectly honest, I've been feeling a lot better for a while already.
It's strange - I wonder if I missed blogging so much only when I had absolutely nowhere to write down these arbitrary thought processes. Now that I've organised surrogate-rockit, I'm comfortable in the possibility of blogging, so when I think of something bloggable I feel less compelled to get it down NOW.
My J2 print tutlings presented their final tabloid, and blew the Wednesday groups away. Their visual identities have been the strongest so far, and there are only 2 more groups to present. Having 2 groups, 13 J2s in all, I've essentially had half the time that some other tutors have had, marked double the work but DAMN - it's been worth it. I felt swelled with pride as they pointed out what they'd learnt from the course; utterly and irrationally defensive as they were grilled by a particular uber-bitch on the judging panel; and sad to let them go as we toasted at the rat last night. Sad because I've come to know these people so well, and sad because at the beginning of next term I have to start from scratch with a new print group.
I've been really lucky - my tutlings were at least bright. A member of another tutor's group answered a well constructed and insightful question on design theory last night with "Well, you know, theory is, like... theory."
All this time! Theory is theory - my God, no one told me!
The Cue redesign is going well, with some really exciting things happening for a newspaper layout job. So far, we've only had 3 applications for advertisement designers from the J3 class. Should more applications not be forthcoming, Hilton and I will essentially have to take over the work of the absent 9 designers - I will have no life. But dammit - I'll claim BIG time!
Let's see... what else... ah yes, the Truro house pajamas and pigtails party on Saturday night, should be good - Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing and all that.
AH - and on Tuesday at 4 I finished my last theory lecture EVER. Did you get that, EVER? I have one exam, and all theory will be gone.
This makes me happy.
