I'm a little overwhelmed this week; my supervisor has given me so many more additional jobs to complete and trying to do all of this, finish research paper assessments, work two separate casual jobs for actual money, and maintain a semblance of a social life is becoming increasingly difficult! I figure I can rant on here as pretty much everyone in the Art Admin program is in the same boat on this one!
I am STILL working on the literature review for the museum plan. When I think it's done I get another email which says to add in another section on something else and so on. It's rapidly approaching the 10,000 word mark! In addition, I have to go and sit in on interviews my supervisor is conducting for another project out at Windsor Library week after next, as I then have to return to the country to conduct a couple of interviews with some Aboriginal people from the Wiradjuri tribe. Not too sure when yet, but it'll be sometime in the next month. It's great that I'm being given the independence and responsibility to do this on my own; however I'm starting to get a little stressed with only 4 weeks until the draft of our paper is due in. At least I'm well and truly passed the half way mark with hours. 240 is A LOT and thankfully I only have about 100 remaining.
It's a good thing I booked myself on a holiday for two weeks in November, I think I'm going to need the time off!
Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about looking forward to a break in November... then I found out this week that my application to mark HSC Visual Art exams was approved. Excellent experience and great money... but I was so looking forward to a break! It looks like it will have to come in December for me.
Hang in there :)
Thanks Marisa, I'm counting down the days!
ReplyDeleteHSC marking sounds like a great opportunity as well - good luck!
Hey Emily,
ReplyDeletetake it easy, things always happen unexpected, and all we can do is to take it and make it more acceptable, I always encounter with this kind of things, I feel frustrated at first but it definitly get accustomed to do it. keep going, you can make it.;))))
Totally understand how you felt.
ReplyDeleteWas so stressed up with completing the Research paper/draft in time for the past few wks while juggling the internship!
*phew
HANG IN THERE!

Sounds like you have been through a very busy week. I can’t believe you are coping with things on literature review. I really think it is a nice job,but a little bit controversial. Not only can you know a lot of art works in history, but also you can improve your sense of beauty. Just release yourself then expose yourself to the work, I believe you can do a good job.
