we all don't feel like doing shit.
My day didn't go as planned but things got done.. today we initiated the nartjie in our work. The whole idea around it was directing our work and fishing out our market, those people that we write articles for... to know them, collect them and focus the brand to where the appropriate ears are.
Describing lovers of music, rap and poetry.
People that we write our articles for, a community of co-creaters in this project.
NARtjie is that word that we are going to use to refer to our audience, the people that we create media for.
The word in itself is a play on the acronym of our Nuts About Rap project(NAR). So we are now moving towards the building of that community of others like ourselves and just simply continue. Steady mobbing!!
Can't wait to get graphics done and complete tomorrow and to brush up my little campaigning efforts for the BIG news ..
My focus has been split, I've been doing great on the practical side of things but that alone is not going to be enough.
The blog started off really scruffy in the beginning but I'm really proud of how it has been progressing recently, now things are finally taking form.
Having Angela Nimah on our team must be the best thing that has ever happened to NAR.. I can't wait for people to start reading the stuff she prepared for us. I'd love to spill the beans on who she did an interview with but that would completely spoil the surprise for all our readers although we still a bit of a small group and all.
If it wasn't for her, our whole team would be crumbling to bits right now.
The smartest thing to do is to get into completing my 3 essays and get them all done by the end of today seeing that I couldn't get through to the digital arts labs to get started on the new visual boards.
I haven't been really smart about my priorities,
I spoke to my grandmother today and all she really wanted to hear about was whether I was doing ok at school.
It's rough though, I didn't have the heart to answer that... Sometimes I don't understand what is wrong with how I choose to do things, I love everything I'm studying here but still balance kills me. I get so carried away with creating, writing, interacting and getting the practical matters out of the way that everything else falls away. I've been neglecting my academics and I'm convinced that the damage is beyond repair but I need to keep going.
I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow if the counseling advisor can't help me get things back into shape coz that loss of balance could mean the end.. but I've got my fingers crossed.
Haven't kept focus in place and it sucks to say this but I was given a choice and I chose to be weak instead of being strong and standing solid, positive and sufficient. You won't always win at every challenge that life will throw at you. I don't know what tomorrow has in store for me but I sure am counting on good news to surface soon.
I'm hungry right now so I'm just going to get up and go... defying the odds and living like a free person when there's tons of work waiting to get done. I don't want to be held down.
