Stress.

I really like being at art school, but it is super stressful. Maybe all degrees are like this, and Elam is just what I have experience with, but anyway.

My first semester at Elam went really well, marks wise. As in, A, A+. I didn't think my work was great, but I did a lot, so it pulled me through or something. This semester I was feeling more confident, I felt like I knew more what I was doing with photography, having done it in school and whatnot. I didn't go that well though. I never really found a hook into what I was doing, something that I was really excited about. In the first half of Sculpture I thought I was going pretty well, but apparently I wasn't quite there. Now in the second half I was having a bit of trouble finding a hook in again. Then I thought I found one this weekend, and I was making some stuff I felt positive about. But I had a chat with my tutor today and he thinks my idea is basically too complex to be dealt with in the time I've got left, and I should leave it for second year maybe. So I have to come up with something new. I've got until next Monday.

Trying not to freak out...
