Just a little more, just a little more...

In twenty-two hours all of this stress and insane rush shall be over.

Yes, for that is the time the whistle blows and our work officially stops for marking.

I can not quite bring myself to believe that.

Over the weekend I have mounted perhaps 90% of my boards. What this leaves is one sheet to priduce tomorrow morning (artificial lighting) and then to produce a pair of book-type things f about 20 sheets each, one for my technical work, the other for my development work for which there simply isn't room on my boards. Oh, and I have to take my models back in as well.

So, after this, then what? My internal examination is Wednesday, so I have a whole day to relax before what is, in effect, judgement. Because Wednesday is internal marking day. Then there are a few weeks of alterations I can make before the external examiners arrive and moderate the marks the tutors give. By June 20th I shall have a letter informing me that either I have passed the year, or else shall have to resit. I'm confident I'll pass. Both previous crits have gone well.

On June 20th my exhibition opens, on June 29th it closes, on June 30th I have to take my work down and on the same day, or the day after, my lease on my rooms expires.

So that's the upcoming month sorted out. It is ironic really that this Easter I was looking for a job, whilst next Easter I shall be looking for a post-Graduate course.

At the moment however I am almost totally spent, exhausted. This time tomorrow evening I shall have collapsed into a coma or something no doubt.
