The critique is over. That hellish day when I don't know what to expect and am just left there sweaty palmed, nervous and just thiiiiiis close to hurling all the contents of my stomach which is actually not alot considering the fact that I haven't eaten all that much in the past few days to begin with.
From now on, assignment due dates are to be blamed for my unhealthy eating lifestyle which ultimately ends up with my weight loss and going back home where every family member and friend will go on to say to me "You look damn thin."
Uh huh, Don't you think I know that! Go blame the assignments.
Back on track, this semester, our crit session was held at the Gallery which really was something special as the usual crits are held in the studios. I guess it's because our batch of students are slightly smaller in comparison to the other batches.
My critique didn't go smoothly. It was a real rocky journey. One I would definitely most likely want to forget and sweep under the carpet. Almost everything that I thought would go wrong went wrong. Everything I hoped they wouldn't ask, they asked and added even more. So, is this self-fulfilled prophecy or what!?
I'll also blame it on the fact that I got slightly tough crits. But I know I'm probably the real one to blame for not meeting the requirements and not being critical enough on myself and on my design development stages. I need to question myself more. But I did get one teeny-tiny positive remark from the crits which I can only view as a bone that they had to throw at me just because I probably looked like a wounded dog after all of their harsh (but true) remarks. Just a way to make me feel slightly better I think. But it didn't work. While most of my coursemates faired well, I on the other hand can only hope that I get a decent grade for this semester to ba able to move on to the next.
But nonetheless, it's over. Which marks the end of the semester! The wrap-up. The finale of my second year in this course.
Stay tuned for more.
