| Too pink for youuu! |
So, after working at a dump for about 7 months; I`ve finally handed in my notice and quit B&M!
Over the past few months, working there has been making my mental health illnesses worse; As previous readers must know, I`m a sufferer of depression, Anxiety and Psychosis. About a month or two of working I completely stopped my medication after the Psychiatrist closed my file and I felt much better than I previously did.
However...
Having customers swear at me, My own managers swearing at me, A job where I was not fully trained, working for only £3.89 an hour, Damaging the lower half of my back, not receiving full length breaks, having swollen and puffy feet every weekend and then having other people dump their work on me because they are just soooo desperate to go on their break so I end up being late for mine and then I never get as long and then end up having to do so much other stuff that I end up exhausted...
So even though I thought I would be alright, and I thought that I had perhaps gotten over my depression; I`ve relapsed dramatically and right now I feel like i`m not in a good place. Along with having to finish off my new art project in less than a month, applying for University and having to start putting together my portfolio... I`m feeling rather stressed and I desperately need these two days off at the weekend (which sounds ridiculous), but I need my Amy time right now.
which is also why I haven`t been uploading as much over the past week or so, however, if you do follow me on Deviantart then you`ve probably seen a lot of activity on there lately; That`s because the sixth forms laptops will let you on Deviantart now and I`m able to upload a lot of my work now.
Right now I`m working on more mixed media work and in a few days I should hopefully be able to get a head start on my final piece; But that depends on as to how much experimentation that I can do in the next few days aswell.
Luckily, In year 13 we get a lot of space to ourselves for our exhibition... And this time, I`ve got a lot of work to go in there. The giant board I`m using at the moment is 6ftX5ft-ish (6ft Horizontally and about 5-ish vertically, I`m not too good at wording things).
Then in front of the board that I`m going to be working on, I`m going to have a table; the table is going to be designed so it looks like I`ve been sat working at it and I`ve just left the table to go and do something. Along with the board and the table I`m having a display panel with other small bits of my work on, so at the moment I appear to have y work cut out for me and I`m extremely nervous for this exhibition... Hopefully It will be my best one out of the three so far.
At the moment my UCAS form has been filled out and I`m now just waiting to pay for it to be sent off, hopefully I get some offers back and I`m currently starting to get some work together for my portfolio for the interviews.
So at the moment I`m getting rather busy and I`m running out of time for all of my coursework so I`m gonna put in some extra hours after sixth form and some more doodle and brain storm nights closer to the weekend.
I`m now also accepting fanmail, if that`s what you want to call it. I`ve already had a few come through on Deviantart and facebook... So keep them coming! It`s nice to talk to some of you and if anything just keep on asking me some questions, I`m quite enjoying it at the moment!
