Well done me! Yes, I think it's time for a bit of self-congratulation. Today we graduated from our course. OK, we just got a certificate and shook the headmaster's hand, but it means I finished the course and more importantly passed the year.

Being my old negative self, I wasn't feeling very pleased earlier and was thinking I didn't deserve a round of applause because I hadn't finished the photography, colour or sculpture modules. I was just feeling sad that I hadn't done them but now, weirdly I've started to think on my course in a positive light. I remembered all the hundreds of times I said I was going to quit the course because I thought there was no way I could do it, especially in those deepest darkest December days when my stomach was being particularly troublesome, and this made me feel good that I'd stuck with it.

So now, instead of feeling grumpy about what I didn't learn, I'm feeling happy about all the things I did, and am especially pleased with my installation (above). Apparently because I projected my film onto something it becomes an installation and I like that because it sounds more important and worthy of being put in an art gallery. But because it's an installation, it's all taken down now and is no more.:(

Gosh, this looking on the bright-side thing is a really weird feeling, but I think it's definitely the way to go. :)
