This semester at Sotheby’s has been nothing but papers with
very little rest in between, except strangely for February, I didn't have anything due. I started off this
year with a paper and then I had two papers due within a week of each other.
Not to mention presentations, sometimes not knowing what the hell I was going
to present about and usually bullshitting my way through it. Twice that has
happened, and I’m not going to let that happen again, I have to present to a
panel in a month, ok less than a month, eek! Whoops, I think I hyperventilated
right there. Where was I? right, I have to present to a panel what I’m supposed to be writing my
dissertation on and tell them how I’m going to go about things. I have yet to
fully decide what I want to do, but I think a recent talk with some alums from
my course helped a little. They told us we could contact them should we have
any questions, of course that’s going to happen, because one of the women that
was answering questions seemed very knowledgeable of my ideas for my dissertation and where and how
to help me….hopefully…..maybe?
Ok, where was I, oh right, so four papers (i'm counting the paper from January that was from the fall semester) and four
presentations later I still have one last paper that’s due in June, I just
finished a big project. The project was put together in about two weeks, due to
some difficulties with my class, whatever, we pulled it off, I did ok, the
others did great. My writing style is slowly improving; I’d rather have
feedback on how I can fix it then feedback on my paper when I go in for
meetings. Ugh all this negativity can always be attributed to the weather;
seriously it had been raining pretty much every day for the past month, or has
been muggy or cold, now it’s just muggy. Yeah, yeah I know it’s London and it’s
supposed to be like that, but what I wouldn’t give for some cool, sunny days. I
would love to have a slight tan, instead of an English tan, I am so white. Though
it is about time to cut my hair and it's going to be really short.
However going out on a positive note I did get an internship
at a photography gallery, even if it is one day a week, it is still experience.
I’m happy about that, it means that i’ll be able to do something other then
work on my dissertation this summer.
(If this blog seems all over the place, it is, my brain has just turned to mush so if i'm repeating myself, sorry)
