Whoa, We're Half Way There
Well, what can be said, the artist has survived the first half of the year and everything that it brought with it. There have been some extremely challenging events that some would have used as an excuse to leave the course, but the artist has persevered and come out the other side stronger and even more determined to complete the course and achieve the grade she set out to get.
The artists started this semester with weekly tasks to keep her on track and some tasks would overlap into several weeks. Although there have been some issues along the way she feels that mostly she was able to achieve these weekly tasks. However, in the weeks where things didn’t go to plan, she was able to catch up on the missed tasks the following week. This meant that even though the tasks were not completed on their original date they were completed resulting in things staying on track.
Looking back over the last 15 weeks the artist thinks she could have planned her weekly tasks out better to utilise her time more effectively. This is something she didn’t know how to do well until she worked on time management, since then she has changed the way weekly tasks are set, and this resulted in her not falling too far behind after being poorly and unable to attend college for several weeks. Without this knowledge, the artist feels she would have had no other choice but to suspend her studies. However, with the right mindset and knowledge, she was able to keep on top of everything and has been able to complete semester one without too much stress.
Reflecting on the semester the artist feels she achieved a lot as she submitted her ethics application in October just a mere 5 weeks after starting the course and passed with flying colours. This meant she could make a start on her primary research straight away, which she has almost completed as we end semester 1. This has allowed her to use the information and data collected to change her final images slightly to reflect what she has learnt.
Moving forward the artist is going to take the lessons and knowledge learnt from semester 1 and use it to achieve better project and time management strategies in semester 2. Resulting in her being more productive with the tasks she carries out.
Just like Bon Jovi (1986) sang himself “Whoa, we’re halfway there, Woah, livin on a prayer, take my hand we’ll make it I swear. Woah, livin on a prayer” The artist made it to the halfway point and now will make it through semester 2 maybe with a little helping hand and support to guide her along the way from friends, family and other creatives.
Hopefully, this works out for her. To find out what comes next keep reading…
