This week pretty much marks the end of my 3rd year at Abertay. I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. It's kind of scary looking forward to 4th year and having to finally leave and go out into the big bad world, but on the other side of it I can look back and see the vast improvement in my skills with all sorts of software.
This year has been a huge learning curve. The change in the quality of my work is monumental and even looking back to the end of last semester I find myself cringing a little at my own work. As an artist this is always the case, skills improve and you learn more as you go along but I certainly feel that this year there is a quantum leap in the standard of my work.
I think this year has certainly marked a change in my maturity toward work and university life in general. I look back now to 1st and 2nd year and realise the opportunities that I’ve squandered and as with most of my peers I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to get my finger out and use the chances that I neglected at the time.
One advantage to this however is that I have realised how little time I have left at university and so I now have a passion and desire to make up for time lost. I’ll be throwing myself fully into extra-curricular projects to improve my portfolio throughout the summer and if I have time, during my honours year.
I have started on plans to join with a small number of other students so that we can produce a short film during our summer break. There are no solid details yet but watch this space for more on the subject.
Well it's goodbye to third year, thanks you've been a blast :P
