Reviewing my progress over the Christmas Holiday

I am feeling a bit anxious today.  I am worried about the impact that the political/administrative shambles of London University will have on the remaining 9 months of my education.  Word on the grapevine is that the person tutoring our next module is a sarcastic abrasive architect, who is only teaching this unit under sufferance (because London Met authorities sacked our competent, well liked, course leader!).  I have to suppress these feelings and focus on my ability to make my learning experience a good one, by making it self directed.

Over the holiday I have:

- Conducted a comparative analysis of the Freud Museum and Sir John Soane Musuem
- Identified two locations to exhibit my work - Valentines Mansion; and the online East End Women's Museum
- Finished the border of my sampler
- Conducted content analysis of Joan Eardley - A Sense of Place exhibition
- Conducted content analysis of The Modern Portrait exhibition
- Realised last year's visits to NPG Grayson Perry Who Am I? exhibition might be a good contrast.
- Read some theory, but no lightbulb moments.

I am not sure where this takes me.  I think I need to:

- Plan my questions for my next tutorial, to get best use of time. Linden cannot help me, if all I do is moan. I need to get the questions prepared.
- Review the content analysis of the two exhibitions, clarify my purpose of visit; note further questions arising, see whether any conclusions arise.
- Suggest to Gareth, and rest of class that we do object analysis together at class, maybe this Thursday.

Just getting a plan together is alleviating the feeling of anxiety in my liver.
