DAY 7.11:30. HOME

And it all comes to an end.  Although i could technically call this day "6 and a half" because we aren't allowed t work on campus on Sundays, and I've organized for all my printing to be done tomorrow on Monday.  Also I'll be doing my final interview on camera.

But ya, today is much more of a rest day. Ive completed my digital pieces.  And both my canvas pieces.  All there is left to do is a few touch ups and to write the descriptions to place by the artwork for the exhibition. 

For the first time this week I'm still in my PJ's at about 11am at home.  I'm eagerly awaiting a yummy Sunday lunch my mother dearest is preparing.  Then maybe after a little nap and some family time I'll start the touch ups, and last minute adjustments so all my stuff will be print ready for tomorrow. 

I expected myself to be a lot more stressed on the last day. But things have come together quite nicely, better than i expected.  Also a good nights sleep really helps keep the stress levels down :)

To sum things up, for me, 7 days of colour as been more than just a college project.  Its been a crazy week full of madness and creativity and laughs.  I feel like I've bonded more with some classmates i wasn't close too, and i feel like I've used as much energy as i could possibly gather to put this practical thesis personal project together. 

Oh and one more thing :) just because 7 days of colour is coming to an end, it doesn't mean this  blog has too.  I'm thinking if carrying on blogging on creative evidence. to share any awesome designs or inspiration i come across.  And when the documentary has been put together I'll definitely post the link on here, as well as pictures from the exhibition etc. PHOTOS coming soon tho...(as mentioned)

DAY 6. 13:24. CAMPUS.

And so the end draws near for my experience with 7 days of colour.  Its currently day 4 for everyone else.  I  try to remember how i felt on day 4, but it feels like a bit of a blurr. I could probably sleep for a week straight when this is all over.  Ive really used as much energy and effort that my body and mind is capable of for this project.  And nearing the end now, I'm really glad that i did.

I had the most amazing sleep last night, after being here on campus for nearly two days in a row with about 2 hours of uncomfortable sleep on a few chairs i put together from our class.  Not the most comfortable "makeshift bed" at all.  Sleeping here on campus, working through the night, really took its toll on me.  Laying in my own bed had never felt so good.

ANYWAY. I'm nearing the completion of my 2nd canvas piece, and have to finish 1 more digital piece and then then I'm pretty much done and dusted, apart from a few touch ups here and there.  The campus doesn't stay open on a Sunday so at 4:30 today, when it closes we all can take our stuff home to work on it on Sunday, which will officially be my 7th day.  I've set aside Monday for the printing of my digital pieces. And the on Tuesday (which is everyone else's day 6 - where i am now) i catch my flight at about 3 in the afternoon.  I'll be leaving my work, for my dear parents to set up for the exhibition on Friday.  So that's the only thing I'm going to be stressing about but that i cant DO anything about because I'll literally be on the other side of the world.

DO try come to the exhibition on Friday, any time from 4 to 8 at the Dream factory in orphan street, in town.  :) The projects that me and my peers have been working on are bound to blow your mind! :) plus there will be eats and drinks, music etc, bound to be an interesting evening for anyone :)

Another thing i forgot to mention is that once this whole 7 DAYS OF COLOUR experience is over, and we come back from our mid year vacation, we are required to hand in some sort of documentation of the experience, whether it be a booklet, video, blog, photos etc.

Ive actually been doing all of that, hence this blog.  Ive captured some awesome video moments which Ive handed over to our lecturer creating the documentary, and Ive been taking plenty photos throughout.

ON TOP if all that documentation i really would love to create a booklet as well. Over achiever much? lol maybe... but its more that Ive felt SO incredibly passionate about this project, that every bone in my body wants to do anything and everything i possible can to contribute to it.

So I'll love and leave my dear blog, and get back to work. and once I've sorted out some photos I'll definitely post them here.

ALMOST AT THE END!!! AAAHHHHH :D

Day 5. 17:00. Campus.

This day. is a biatch and a half.  Most people are reaching there breaking points.  and I'm so beyond that.  Ive reached a weird tired over it mood. And I'm hungry.

OH i found my USB thank goodness.  I'm getting somewhere. but it feels like I'm not.  I really need to eat now. and maybe sleep. maybe.

We were interviewed on our progress, on camera again today.  This time they mixed things up a bit and had two people in the interview at a time. So we paired up, and each were asked the usual questions, but this resulted in some funny moments indeed.  i really cant wait for the documentary.  which will probably only be ready after the holidays. 

After this, its really the final stretch. NO more procrastinating.  Hence the shortness of this post. 

I shall post some more photos later though.

THIS IS WAR. LOL

7:05am. Day 5. Campus.

Well. :/ not the most comfortable sleep, but still comfortable enough to struggle to wake up.

The only thing that's keeping me functioning right now is an apple from Amber's "fruit bowel" (or fruit pot to be specific.  This pot has been here since the others first day.  It was FULL of apples.  and now they are gone. like my energy.  sad face.

The point of this observation? who the eff knows. The first classmate for the day just walked in the door now - and for me? this is like the"day" beginning.  The AM hours i just sacrificed here at campus weren't wasted though if you are wondering.  And now this lovely classmate of mine just offered me a Red BULL!! SCORE. 

I kinda feel like a homeless person.  I spent all my food money yesterday on paint.  so all i have left is coffee, no milk, some hot chocolate, and quite a variety of cup-a-soup packets.  so until i go home to shower and such things I'm hustling for some decent food of drinks.  its a hard-knock life yo.

I THINK Ive caught up with my own deadlines. Last night/this morning was quite productive.

I HAVE A GAME PLAN. GOTTA. KEEP. GOING.

okay I'm out! Gonna hop on this shit. what what.
