Its finally time. Time to wrap up the courses, the spoon feeding, the short cuts and the late submissions. Diploma projects are breathing down our necks and its time to get prepared for the long lonely road ahead...So voila! What we get to do now is a prelude to our diploma projects - our very final project, of our very final term, of our very final year.
It is to be a completely self initiated project, where we meet with our project coordinators only twice a week to map our progress - the idea, the process and the outcome are completely individual and independent of the class. It is an exciting prospect to be steering one's own ship completely. It means we can pick a subject we are passionate about, work with techniques that stimulate us and are at complete liberty to determine what form would best represent our concepts. It is also a rather daunting idea to be left on my own for five weeks and expect to avoid Procrastination, my veritable nemesis.
My biggest challenge will definitely be managing my time in the face of all the freedom and flexibility. But I am looking forward to it... I have a feeling this might actually be FUN.
