Fingers Crossed..

Tomorrow is hand in day for my PLP (Personal Learning Plan) and I'm dreading it since I have never created one before! But, after showing one of my tutors my first draft today, I’m feeling a bit more confident with what I’m submitting. My initial thoughts in response to the brief of ‘Where are we from? What are we? Where are we going?’ lead me onto the thought of time. Time passing and the preservation of time in relation to ourselves, as life is made up of seconds, which make up the experiences that essentially make us who we are presently.

I also decided to delve into the question of what does any of this matter? Does it really matter where we are from? Or what we are? Or where we plan on going? Questions only raise the matter of uncertainty, as we ask the questions because we are unsure! Then again, this brings me back onto the subject of time, as we rely on this mechanism to provide us with the current time which usually our whole life revolves around. We often hear people questioning the time of day, every day and this proves the matter of the need to preserve the here and now for the fear of the unknown; the future. To some the future seems exciting but to others the mere thought of not knowing what tomorrow could bring strikes fear, and it is this sort of separation within ourselves that I want to capture using time.

On another note, you can see I enjoy rambling on and on and if none of this makes sense, then well it wouldn’t be the first time.  I’m still trying to think of ways to develop the concept aesthetically and will post about this at a later date. After final adjustments to the final PLP, I feel I have done all that I can to summarise what I intend to do and how I plan on doing it. Next steps, research!
