fashionable people

here's the newest painting on the go. the trouble is that hand in (that's portfolio in UK speak) is next Friday... so i only have another week and few days to work on it. AND the college is closed Monday and Tuesday. so. it may not get done. until later. when i'm home? who knows. but maybe it WILL get done. it could happen.



in other news, i met with beverly hood today. i don't know exactly what her job is, but i do know she gave me all the options for exiting the college. and here is what i now know:

i will be awarded a postgrad certificate and 80 credits for my time at eca. not a postgrad diploma. that would involve completing the research/critical study elements of the course and paying some fees. and not an MA. that would involve staying on till september and paying more fees. so. yay! that is good. it is SOMETHING that i can write down instead of 'failed to stick with it in an MFA at eca'. sounds much better than that. also, i met with my name tutor today, and he says i can have a reference from him anytime. which is really nice. especially because i didn't even have to ask. thanks charlie. thanks! now i just have to fill in a withdrawl form, and they'll take back my student card (sad!) and make me pay all the printing fees and whatnot and i'll be on the outs. strangely simple. just like that.
