I decided to start a new blog for this year. Fresh start for a fresh start. I don't think I tried hard enough last year and as I already know I won't be staying for a third year, this is my last chance to get on it and get a good grade.
Back in Bournemouth again. Went to the freshers fair today, there wasn't any free pizza.. Nor was there anything very useful, not as good as our one last year! I've spoken to a few of the fashion crew and no one seems to have started their projects yet. I've done research and stuff but haven't got anything to actually show yet. I plan on doing an actual storyboard as the summer brief said, a lot of people have said they are just doing a moodboard. But I think if we only had to do a moodboard the brief would say we have to do a moodboard not a storyboard. Better to have too much work than not enough anyway so I'm going to stick with my original plan.
I got a 2:2 in the first year, I need to find out what percentage the first and second years count for. Because if I finish this year with an overall 2:2 I will consider my time at uni a waste. I'm pretty much certain I won't be doing the third year which is yet another reason I need to pull my finger out and do well this year. My plan is to go into uni on my days off and do work, stay late at uni and finish whatever we were doing that day and to be ON TIME! Which is something I have pretty much never been able to do, not at school, college or work.
I think now that I know I want to be a seamstress of some description that will give me more motivation to do work. Last year I got a bit lost wondering where my place is in fashion. But now I have (hopefully) found what I want to be doing for the rest of my life I should have more direction. I'm also going to go list crazy. Writing down in my diary in detail everything I need to do on each day to be on time with the deadline. No more late nights the day before hand in trying to get everything done. I'm also going to try and make it look very professional. Which I know I should of been doing for years but my nature is not to be a perfectionist. But if I'm going to do well that has to change! I also think this year will be easier now that I won't be living with people I don't like in a house I hate.
To summarize my massive post:
I am excited to get stuck in, put the hours in, and do well!
