Week 8

This week I've decided to sit and write a proper blog post instead of telling you the things that you mostly already know.

This week has been just like many of the last, quick, challenging and full of a lot of laughs and a few cries. I find that most of my weeks go this way but I am a teenage girl and my emotions are frankly a mess. 

I have found recently that I like being in class I just don't particularly like being lonely in class. This being said I have found that these past few weeks I have done a lot more work than what I would usually do and I definitely am not complaining about that. In class on Monday I was sat all on my own and granted if I had a lot more work to do I would've got it done but seems as I didn't I did spend a portion of the lesson watching Netflix, this was of course after I had finished editing and doing all my work for other classes like Phil had asked me to. I didn't mind being lonely too much though as I knew that at the end of the day I was going to be able to see my boyfriend, Harry. 

Due to me being blessed with the best luck in the world I did not get to see him at the weekend because I got a stomach bug, even though I tried everything to make sure I was not going to catch the bug off my sister (this included washing my hands around every five minutes and attempting to not breathe the same air as her.) That, of course, didn't at all matter in the end and I had to see him Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday I went to see Trolls at the cinema with Harry and it was the most adorable film I had ever seen and definitely gave me a pick me up. I really wanted to also get my radio package for Rob done in this day but seems as Harry refuses to drive on dual carriageways or motorways I wasn't able to get to Wollaton Hall to record my piece. 

I began Wednesday by stressing about not having my radio package done and therefore snapping at everyone who even breathed around me. Wednesday's session with Mark was yet again filled with me thinking up things to do as I had finished my coursework, I can't fully remember what I was doing but I think it was productive? In photography, we got to research different types of editorial photography and analyze them, which was fun I suppose, I just would've liked taking some actual photos better. After this, I then went home as Rob told us not to attend if we hadn't got the work done and also I just had a really big headache and wanted to get home before 8pm.

On Thursday, we finally found out that Meryl was no longer attending the course which meant we could get things done and contribute our own ideas without being bossed around. This was great as we got to come up with an idea everyone liked. I felt a lot more enthusiastic about the project after that and got to work on finding music for it. 

On Friday I woke up 30 minutes before I had to leave my house which was a nightmare, have never gotten out of bed and dressed so quickly in my life. When I finally made it to college I checked my emails to find that yet again Yazmin had not emailed me about meeting for a talk, this is really starting to upset me as I opened up about how I was feeling to people at the college and the person they suggested to help me hasn't yet made the effort to contact me. After this I worked on an idea for the Nottingham young creative awards, I think I'm going to go down the line of making a political statement about Donald Trump being elected President of the USA and how that is going to effect every minorities future. I believe setting it in an almost post-apocalyptic world will create the best effect. In Phils lesson we continued to conduct research and gathered it together in a powerpoint, after this we focussed on pitching and the techniques we would need for this.

I've had an alright week, lets see what the next one holds.
