I'm super excited for tomorrow!! I love presenting and although I'm not completely confident with my presentation, I am happy to talk about it!
I also am finally happy with my last checks on my essay and have been able to relax this past weekend because I planned ahead,
This is much better than last year when I left everything to the last minute and was stressed and upset with what I had produced.
NOW!
I'm going to have a cup of Lapsang Souchong and relax :D

Whoops! It's afternoon.... was about to say Good Morning!
So otday I got up to start my presentation for the hand in on the 17th :D I'm actually excited because i have finished my essay so now I just get to babble for 10 mins about something I'm interested in.
I think i'm going to talk about human sexuality and how it effects the way we dress.
I am particularly interested in sexuality in the fashion industry with people like Andrej Pajik, international supermodel, who identifies as a man but wears and models women's clothing and is, in my opinion, more beautiful than most supermodels he works alongside.
I will be using a male model for one of my A/W 2014/15 dresses which might cause confusion for my audience but I want them to question sexuality and what it means.

Oh nooooo!!!
So it's hand in day for draft 1 and I'm am up this early,why? Because last night I got a migrane that lasted me all evening! So I got 0% more done on the essay and have had to start TRYING to finalise this piece of writing before 1pm! It's gunna be tough but I'll try my best. I have about 700 words to write before I start the conclusion so thats fine and I'm pretty sure I can be 10% over OR under the word count so as long as I reach 1900 words I should be in the clear! I know this is just a draft but I want to do well, if I don't strive now then I wont be any better off in a month when the REAL thing has to be handed in.
Needless to say I am really enjoying the subject I'm writing about (Gay culture and the relation to certain identities due to fashion choices). It's really interesting and I keep reading about it.... it's just writing it down.... is killing me!!!
And don't even mention my presentation!!! I know it's gunna be a doddle and I'm great at talking (or rather I can just talk FOREVER!) but I can't help feeling that sense of dread when I remember that this is all going towards a grade and I don't want to fail!
RIGHT, enough of my displacement insecurities! Back to writing!

Finally!
I downloaded Blogger for my phone so it's going to be a lot easier to post from now on. I've really been cracking on with this essay and tonight I'm continuing. Writing it all out has really helped me cement my ideas and the question that I'm asking has become a lot clearer!
I've written 1,000 words now so only 1,000 more to go tomorrow night but it's a little harder to stay focused than I thought. As much as this subject interests me I just HATE essay writing. It's not me. I work with fabric at my finger tips and I draw and paint and talk. Writing things down and reading texts just isn't my bag.

I've actually started writing!
Okay so it's not much and I'm still panicking a bit about this draft hand-in but it isn't all that bad. I started with a quote and it really got the ball rolling!
I just hope I can fill the word count because I've only written like 200 words :( times that by ten and then we're talking!
Nevermind! I'm going to try and get soe more done tonight and then I'm going to work on it a little more before the hand in for the 1st draft on Wednesday.
