impatience

Oh and one more thing. I can't wait for the results. To be honest I thought the portfolios would be marked by now, but a bit more patience won't kill me I guess.

moved deadline

Deadline for the evaluation stage has been moved forward (I suppose, because I can't really remember the initial one) and people are freaking out Luckily, mine was submitted 2 weeks ago. Doing stuff faster really does pay off sometimes!

self-evaluation

I've just submitted my self-evaluation sheet, which is a final touch to my graded unit. That means I've officially done absolutely every tiny thing concerning college, and now I just have to wait for the results, but generally, it is an actual end of my year of studying HNC Music Business in Perth. The end of my journey, even end of an era if you want to be all dramatic. My flight back home is tomorrow. And as much as I am ecstatic about seeing my beloved ones and just even sleeping in my own bed again as people often say, I am also anxious about what future holds in stock for me. I guess only time will tell.

finished with the portfolio

I can't even express how happy I am about the fact that I have finally finished working on my portfolio! And what's even better, I am extremely proud about the final outcome! This is the first website I've ever worked on...EVER! I'm sure it's not perfect, but to me, it looks really professional, and most importantly, reflects the work I've done throughout the year, all the things I've learnt, and my shows my personality as a bonus. I feel like I'm going to visit my very own and very first website few times when I'm already back home. Just to bring back the memories.

Oh, by the way here is the link - www.wix.com/jenxification/portfolio

nearly done

My development stage, namely, portfolio, which as I think I've mentioned before, I'm doing on wix.com is looking better and better. Actually, I am nearly finished, just final touches here and there, not much left really. It was really tough to choose between all these reports and other pieces of work, but I think I managed to pick the best ones. Well, at least I hope so. The one thing I'm disappointed about is the fact that the program we had done our EPKs in (iDVD) is the wrong format for wix and I can't upload it onto my portfolio in any way. But at least I had the opportunity to look through it again more carefully, and retouch few things, besides I really adore the final look of my press pack's online version, especially the gallery looks magnificent! Other than that, college is practically finished for me(I mean the HNC obviously!). I've already been told about passing everything in terms of most of the units, and I'm only waiting for the results of few little assessments. I'm hoping to finish and submit my portfolio today as well, so my evaluation stage is the only piece of work left, and as the portfolio is nearly completely done, I know what I want to include in the self evaluation form anyways, so it shouldn't take long. I'm looking forward to having it all done. Optionally, I'd like it to be submitted by the end of the day. Oh well, fingers crossed!

work work work

I have finally seriously started working on my portfolio. As I mentioned earlier, I'm doing it via wix.com, and I have to admit it is not bad to use, but the downside is that I had my Internet connection cut off today, as scheduled with Virgin Media, so every single time I feel like adding anything, I have to take my mac out and work on it in a pub/cafe/library. Anyways, I managed to finish my 'about me' section today and sort out few of the purely appearance-related issues. It's really starting to look quite promising, and to be honest, I'm quite excited to have my very own, and very first website in progress and preparation. Can't wait until I'm finished and I can publish it!

intense week

As said in the title above.. wow, that week was really intense! I've done my whole assessment for music and image, which involved using photoshop properly (well, using it at all to be honest) for the first time in my life, by the way it's not as difficult and annoying as it seems, I actually had a bit of fun I would say. I had to come up with and execute 3 designs - CD cover, poster and t-shirt, as well as write a brief accompanying these projects, which I'm really happy with, and pleasantly surprised that they turned out looking to professional! I also wrote publishing assessment. Then I stage managed a show too! And had to write a report to go with it, and prepared the whole presentation for the entrepreneurship class, namely, a business plan presentation. So yeah.. pretty busy week I would say! Luckily, I've done some of the college stuff earlier, because if I hadn't, I would probably be doing 10 different assessments at a time right now! Anyways, the only things I have left(at least I hope I'm right!) are - 1. making sure that the already submitted assessments are correct, 2. actually present my business plan(I'm going to do that in few hours), 3. write another publishing assessment and finally 4. finish my portfolio - development stage and then 5. do the evaluation of my portfolio. And all of that would be perfectly fine(well, maybe not perfectly, because obviously, instead of working on everything, I would prefer to be all lazy, but I seriously can't complain!), if not for the fact that tomorrow I'm having my Internet cut off, as my contract is finishing and I saw no point in extending it, because I'm leaving in a bit more than a week anyways. But it is truly going to be a struggle - going to the library, or at least some kind of cafeteria each and every time I come up with a new 'touch' to my digital portfolio. I'm not some kind of an Internet addict, but it really does make life much simpler.. especially at the time when you're working on something entirely online!
