Once again it is time for BFA portfolio reviews (Tomorrow Morning). 18 hours from now.

I feel that I have a stronger body of work (or at least a more cohesive one) and a better sense of where I am and what I am doing as an artist. I've taken what was useful from last semester's review, and dismissed what wasn't.

I also feel a lot less trepidation and stress. Part of that is due to having what I consider a better (or at least a more appropriate) committee (though I never had any issues with my self-appointed committee chair last time). This time, I already know all of the faculty on my committee (my video professor, my drawing professor, and my advisor), and I've worked with two of them quite a bit.

Naturally, it's not gone completely; I'm still the center of attention, which I've never been particularly comfortable with. But it isn't preying on me to the extent that it did last semester, when I knew as soon as I got the committee assignments that I was going to have problems.

Allison (my friend who also didn't get in last time) also feels a bit better about her committee.

After tomorrow's review, I'll post the results and then I plan to vegetate the rest of the weekend.

And if I don't get in, I'll not be particularly annoyed.
