Futility

Today I will not be attending a meeting at my Uni. It is concerning the move from one site to another. A move I greet heartily. I can't wait to get out of the monstrosity of the new art building. It just represents the capitalist wrongs of the whole project.

I can't wait to move into the old building near the Tamar. What a fucking treat that is!! But others see it as a negative.

Spoilt humans, no shops! they cry. Off campus, too far, no workshops, no technician...and so on. WE have become so accustomed to being given everything, expecting everything, all handy and accessible that when things aren't it create distress and confusion.

People have forgotten how to be resourceful, feel challenged and show thinking out of the box. Instead of seeing the positives of this move heels are being dug in and reasons for staying seem well petty and unjustified to me.

So I'm no longer being student rep. I'm against the tide as usual.
Maybe there will be others who like me will love the idea of having a large old stone building as a studio space. I can't wait to smell the sea, see the water and watch to boats. Have space to walk and think in the quiet....to me this will be heaven...
