I'm really flustered at the moment.

Essentially, there are only 4 weeks left before finals. Really though, there's 3 because next week we have off for Thanksgiving and I'm probably not going to get much project-wise done. So there's 3 weeks to complete everything and I'm overwhelmed.

For advanced, I've been working fairly regularly in taking slide photographs of belongings in people's rooms to paint a portrait of who they are. (Not actual paint obviously but to give an idea of who they are based on objects they own). It's a really great project idea, but I've run into a bunch of problems. First, slide film. It's not going well there, and everything is always very dark. I'm taking slide film so I can do polaroid transfers. I really love the process I've come up with, I'm printing things on fabric and I love the way it looks. But the pictures don't fit the process. So now I'm thinking I may do straight up portraits, but I don't know. I have to find people to shoot, shoot them, and it's just going to be a ton of work for a short amount of time. Not to mention that it takes about a week to get my slide film processed because the lab I use doesn't process it every day, just once a week. so I'm going to have to shoot it quickly to get it developed in time. Ughhhh!

There's a whole issue with my clay class too but I seriously don't want to get into it right now because it sucks and I don't really know what to do.

I'm not sure what to do with myself right now. I have more 4x5 film to develop from this weekend and I could also print for that class because we have stuff due on Thursday and I have nothing so far. But again, things are complicated and the photos I have I want to use for the final and not our last project before the final but that means I have to shoot a ton more and blah blah blah.

Printing the slides I do have on fabric is kind of stupid because none of them look really good. And I have clay class at 3.

What to do, what to do...
