Day 28 2013 - Hope

Today

1 - Had my critic presentation for my 'Floribunda' project; basically I show my work to some of my peers and the tutors, and get feedback on how I need to improve and what I need to work on.
- I got some good feedback!

However I still feel a little bit disappointed in myself because I know I didn't put 100% into the project.

2 - Started developing my ideas for our new project 'Vibrant Vintage'

I'm definitely going to give this project my all :)

3 - Had a really lovely conversation with a friend about everything in my life at the moment.
After catching up with her, I feel a little differently to relationships and being young.

Update

Although it feels great to have been given all of these lovely opportunities, I feel that my focus at this moment in my life should be about having fun, doing the things I love and not getting stressed.

Its awesome to have the determination to do well at something, but piling too much on my plate isn't healthy or fun at all. Its a slightly unrealistic resolution but I'm definitely going to keep going with my internships as I'm really enjoying it with Zoe Murphy.

I really think I need to drop the writing for magazines idea for a while, maybe come back to it later on in life.

After some thinking this evening, it would probably be good for me to be open for another relationship. I seriously need to realise I can't grow up before my time, and need to relax and be a bit more realistic about everything :)

Goals (because its always good to set yourself goals!)

My focus should be about

- Doing the best I can be on my UCA course, that means getting at least a Merit Grade (equivalent of a B grade)

- Carrying on doing my internships until I feel ready to venture out on my own

- Being open to a new relationship; because life is too hard loveless. <3

P.S. I feel that this blog has dramatically changed from being about textiles. The blog seems a bit more like a diary about life for someone who wants a lot of things, has lots of things, and has lost some things along the way.

I'm not sure if I should change the title of this blog, or keep it as it is but either way, I'm just giving you a glimpse into my life. My efforts of trying to suceed as well as being afraid of failing....

Maybe this is why I'm single.... :/ *sighs*
