Strange Day...

I'm not quite sure what Ive missed, or when I've missed it but there seems to have been some news floating round this morning about the Graduate Collections that I was unaware of.

Firstly, theres talk about funding being cut by the uni: I have a couple of specific issues with this, but in general, I think it's clear what the problems are here! Primarily I wonder where the allocated funds for GFW have gone (i believe it totalled around £13,000). If we're not holding our Grad Show there, surely the funds should be available for wherever we do hold the show!

Secondly, I was told, and later read that the Graduate Collections have now been limited to 4 outfits (!) I'm really confused and upset by this, so hopefully someone will be able to offer reasonable explanation and reasoning behind it- in the meantime, I'll carry on aiming toward 6-8 outfits, as intended. If the requirements of the module mean 4 outfits are needed to pass, then I still intend to surpass the brief and achieve my own personal targets.
There are a few other small things that are bothering me at the moment- I'm just going to make sure I'm on site as much as possible for a while so I don't miss any more discussions on things important to my future!

I've worked too long and too hard to settle for a second class Degree Show, and I intend to do everything possible to avoid that... like I said before, I'm like a pitbull when it comes to my work!

thanks
