I don't know if this is appropriate of me to express, but this class has been kind of a messy experience for me personally. I started out being really excited about what I was doing and where I was going with my project, but every time I went to class I spent the whole class being annoyed and frustrated. There are obvious reasons that I don't really need to get into for class time being consistantly derailed, and I understand why we stopped meeting regularly. And it's no one in particulars fault, except for the derailers, but I hardly think they can even be blamed when it really comes down to it. It's just unfortunate I guess. The stars didn't align for this class.
So I'll admit, I got really unmotivated half-way through, and after classes stopped meeting I felt pretty lost, but as usual, had a hard time asking for help. I'm still struggling to understand social practice art, as well as how I can pull it off in an interesting and original way while struggling with my own general aversion to working with or even really talking to people I don't know. Also I got sick twice this term, which sucked. However, as of right now I'm going to try to re-motivate and finish off the term strong.
My goal for this week is to work more on this blog (I've researched a bunch of artists and started some blog posts that I've yet to finish), as well as hold a comic/zine-making workshop at the WRC. We'll see how this goes!
