It's life, Jim

University success?

I've absolutely loved my creative module at University. It's been a stressful but beautiful journey through my creative mind. I chose to create a 12-page comic book telling the tales of my friend Jenny, how she was taken too soon and how serious depression is. Roland Barthes dictated how the creative process has to be done from the heart for it to be followable and true: my story of Jenny was the perfect one to use, as it was both recent and devastating to me and this could make my piece flourish.

My official print-outs arrived and it made me extremely excited, I couldn't have been any more thrilled with how it turned out! My partner said he liked it, my tutor said the imagery was beautiful and that the story was well developed and I even took it into the "comic" group in the module and they all looked amazed by it. I've never been proud of a piece of academic work before but after all of the great and exciting feedback, I got from everyone who saw it all I could feel was pride. My work, my story, my friend, and people liked it? I was amazed and I haven't been any happier!

It's due in on Friday this week but I chose to submit it today along with my portfolio, there's no reason to delay it any further when it's all complete. We get the results back on May 4th and I really hope I get above a 70 because I worked so hard on it and all the feedback I received has truly made me believe that I can get a high first on this. I think I'd be devastated if it's anything less, especially with how much time it took to complete in comparison to my other assignments. 

I'm now struggling with my presentation preparation, but my boyfriend has kindly offered to help and although I'm not going to accept his help, he's made me truly see that there's always someone to fall back on when I'm in a rough patch and I never have to do anything on my own.
