This semester went by very slowly and very fast at the same time. The amount of work I did this past semester exceeded my expectations (and initial cost estimates). At least I had football to keep me grounded. The UH Cougars went 8-4 while the Houston Texans… well, let’s just say they’ve seen better seasons.
The semester, at least for us art school undergrads not in a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) or Art History program, ended this week. I turned my final video project in on Tuesday, while my Portfolio Development course effectively ended for me on November 20. On the day prior, I submitted my portfolio for review in seeking acceptance into the BFA Photography/Digital Media program here at UH. I am happy to report that I have been accepted and will start those classes in approximately 6 weeks.
I know I should avoid hyperbole, but the pace at which my activity level picked up in the month prior to the review seemed exponential. Each day for the 2 weeks leading up to the day found me at the photo lab 5 nights a week taking care of things for the review.
So here I now find myself just bleeding off the stress. Soon I’ll be rested (sleep was not a priority in November) and ready to start, what I am told, is a much more demanding series of course. To this I say, “bring it on!” Just let me get some sleep first.
For other viewing pleasures, the following was my submission for my final video project:
