After a couple of weeks of mixed absence I have been concerned recently about the progress I have made progress with my projects and decided to come into college today to ensure that I had all the information I needed for the up and coming submissions across each different project. Although my time was spent travelling mostly I didn't manage to leave with peace of mind and the confidence to push forward and deliver satisfactorily and on time.
The focus of my dissertation in the next week will be the final preparations of my PowerPoint presentation which is due to be presented at a conference in college around the 21st March. I have structured 10 topical points for my dissertation and each point is divided into 3 categories of argument that will all contribute towards the main question in my research. Although I waited long enough to compile this structure I am glad that I have now as it has proven to be a useful tool which allows me to research individual topics within the argument with ease.
The website that I am designing for my solo act Daniel Dundee has become a focus again and I have gathered all the content I need to display in the website leaving only the website structure itself to design and I now am confident that I can complete this project in the coming weeks which will hopefully give me some free time to dedicate to other projects like my solo performance. It is also disappointing looking back at the first semester as I know I could have finished this project completely in one semester which would have given me all the time I needed in semester 2 to improve the quality of other projects.
My solo performance has taken its final shape recently and with all the players in place I am now looking to rehearse the set in segments before practising all those segments in order. The intention is that I begin the show on acoustic guitar and sing a few songs before introducing other musicians one by one and song by song to built up to a full band for the last few songs of the show. I also hope to incorporate different acts into my show whilst narrating the story of my own musical evolution through short stories and my own songs, which is all that will be performed.
The main focus of my visit to college today was to catch up with my designated designer and portfolio class tutor and after doing so I was very pleased at the position I am in before the class presentation this coming Tuesday. I was slightly concerned about the presentation but after meeting with Leighton and seeing all the magnificent work he has done I was impressed and left the meeting motivated enough to finish off my press release and biography text for the design brief.
A shameful week regarding effort and attendance and I must make it my main focus to attend every class and college in general every week and maintain a good level of communication with my tutors and peers. I do feel I have suffered due to this and with a lack of progress in my academic work and a worrying decline in character and morals I know I am at a stage where I must commit 100% between now and the end of the academic year.
