2 down, 2 to go...

The last couple of weeks have been crazy! I have been working really hard to get some good grades out of the last 2 semesters. The individual grades (the one you get for each subject from the teacher of that subject) where really good. I felt so relieved after that. The last one was on a wednesday and we all had some applepie and wine. Everybody was happy.

But then we just had to do one more thing: exhibit everything you have made in the last 2 semesters. Then all the teachers would come and have a look and give you one more grade. This part didn't go so well, for anybody. The teachers were extremely harsh, I hadn't expected that! I understand that they have a name to keep up. Only the best can continue. Anyway, the general outcome was that everything was just shit. I was going to make photo's but I just forgot. I didn't cry in front of the 'firing squad' but I cried my eyes out on the way back home. It was just so sad for everyone. Because everybody worked so hard. What started as a good thing has had a gloomy aftertaste.

Tonight the new semester will start. Photography, arthistory, drawing letters and optical grammatical design. I have to give 200% and get it completely right to be able to get to the second year. The one positive outcome of all this was that our group (which is already very small) has gotten a lot closer :)
