hey y'all,

hope you're doing alright this first week of June! I'm freaking out. I have SO much work to do video editing and writing my paper.... I know I'll get it done but it all feels a little daunting at the moment.

Diana, what happened after you spoke with Faith? Did you calm their concerns and are they letting you continue on in the program?

BTW, I like your new images... the triptychs are nice.

take care everyone,

c

Time Off

Hey Guys, just wanted to share some recent imagery and also let you know that Faith and Marie have expressed concern for my work and asked for me to take time off. Honestly, I am not for it and I sent them a long email explaining everything and reasoning why I do not think it is a good idea. Although I do have my own concerns with the final semester it is more important for me to get through this than not. This all has been so dang frustrating for me but the determination is back and I am just not going to lay back without a fight. My AT is great but I think he is not really being as open as I thought he was about my condition and has been a bit hard on me as if I was one of his regular students and that I am certainly not.
At this point I am finishing up my final paper and putting together work that is just about the final ideas for the residency. I am wrapping up and they aint gonna stop me now. Faith is calling me this afternoon to talk about everything. I will let you know what happens.
I am thinking of all of you and I hope you are in better condition than myself. This semester, one of the biggest things I have learned is to stand up for what my work is whether its enough for them or not. It is what it is and that is just the way it should be no friking buts about it.
I hope they allow me to at least make it the residency. I am dying to see and talk to you guys. The summer rez is the best anyway. :)
