Hello-
Advance warning- I am on a rant- I apologize in advance-
Have you all received your final evaluations from your Faculty Advisors?
I have not. I am completely stymied. Should I contact my advisor? Should I contact the program office/Danielle/Sabrina? Don't want to be a complainer/squealer...What if something has happened to my advisor-an accident/illness... would I be overbearing, inappropriate, and overstepping the boundaries between student and teacher to inquire?
What's the big deal you ask-what is an evaluation contrasted against the great scheme of life? What's your hurry you ask- only 4 days have passed since the program deadline for submitting evaluations- never mind that I sweated and didn't sleep to make my deadline...
Perhaps it's only a big deal if ONE IS HAVING A SHITTY WEEK/SEMESTER AND CHECKING HER EMAIL EVERY 5 MINUTES TO VALIDATE HER EFFORTS BORNE FROM SWEAT, ANXIETY, AND A COMPULSIVE NEED TO BE THE BEST!!!!!!! Otherwise- it is really not such a big deal.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon,
Sumru

Hello Everyone,
I am in a HUGE funk- trying to write the candidacy review statement. I have the guidelines but that's not helping...I have no idea what my final exhibition will look like- how is it possible that we could know the specifics now? Is this an exercise to gauge how committed we are to our studio work- to see if we have a pulse? Any ideas, advice, hand holding would be greatly appreciated at this point. I hope you are all well. I am so looking forward to seeing each and everyone of you.
Take care,
Sumru
