Tried to upload a DVD I made in France when on Erasmus but there were complications, I had to get the computer guy in the end but it turns out I will have to compress it, so as to fit it on to blog spot. After many attempts and a lot of man hours,my blog spot can now be finally googled, yippee ! When this sculpture brief is finished, it will be handy to keep this as a web page, to display my work etc. Went to class reps meeting today, it was mentioned to the student union guys that they seemed hard to approach, and that there was a sort of "clique" there, I think they were genuinely surprised that a lot of students felt that way, I am sure they will take that on board. Carrying on with my big brother theme, I have started putting BB images on the screen savers,on the computers in the multi-media place. It will be intriguing to see how far I can take this before someone complains ! Perhaps they won't, we'll see. Had a thought, will see if I can photo shop a jigsaw image of BB, that would be more appropriate to my work.

Introduction to animation today, intriguing, but 2 hours is not enough time to absorb the technicalities of the animation programmes. Did a bit more to the jigsaw. Had discussion with Mark about my work, the conversation was, to say the least, complex ! nevertheless, I believe Mark understands where I am coming from.
Had tutorial with Dr.David, he really is such a helpful tutor, he goes out of his way to help and discuss any ideas or questions that may arise, he really wants all of us to do well in our studies.
Didn't go to the library again tonight, it is like a mad house there, a lot of people are complaining about the noise level there, it is hard enough to get essays done without that added distraction.

Photography A.M,.took one of my works to be photographed.
We went through the developing process again, which was handy.We had to take portrait photographs of each other (cringe) !
P.M. essay but had to leave the library as it was too noisy, the canteen would have been quieter !
Did a bit more to the jigsaw, it is starting to take shape now.
Meant to have draft of essay for Dr. David tomorrow but that's a no go, too much other stuff going on at the moment.
