Basically, just getting everything ready for assessments now; painted the class tree on the window, it looks well. I put a small frame in the middle of the window; I suppose really to just raise a few questions as to how we view thingsThis is the last entry for this academic year. The assessments are over now. We have an end of year exhibition in Bedford row, Limerick, which runs till next thursday. It was a very successful opening night, with a good turnout. 3rd year has gone so quickly. It has been an excellent year for me both artistically, and academically; I have made great strides forward in both. The tutors were brilliant; such great support, advice and encouragement. Some friendships have deepened even further amongst my colleagues. One little tiff at the end of the year but no grudges held. So that's it, see you in 4th year P.G.

Took most of the day to finish off the essay; I am really delighted that it is out of the way now. I have decided to cut the perspex down a bit; it will take me forever to dig a hole big enough the way it is. Have given the eggsaws to Pat today; he is showing them to the resin man tomorrow. Have a fair amount of work to do between now and Monday, I trust I will get it all done in time. My beauty board is almost complete, only one more person to finish it off. The tree branches are coming together now as well. (Sounds like a secret code for some really secret organisation kind of thing!)

Des has broken my glass, so I will have to go down to get another piece cut. Talking of which; I have to say I was rather disappointed with the job that Limerick glass did on my perspex. Some of the pieces were actually cut crooked ! I should not of mentioned that I was going to bury the box, they obviously did not put too much effort into it, although they put quite a bit of effort into the price ! (100 Euro).
Had tutorial with David today; he had a quick read of the essay (not quite finished yet) and was quite pleased with the progression. I have to admit when I look back at previous essays, I cringe with embarrassment, they were so unprofessional ! I am definitely getting there, with regard to critical and contextual writing.
