Our exhibition!

Today was the first day of our exhibition, we had chosen the room we wanted to be in January when we got back from Christmas we didnt want to be in the room that is usually assigned to the student exhibitions as we thought that it would be to big. We were meant to be sharing the exhibition space with the two English lads that were coming after Christmas. As it happens they were useless and left after a week because they couldnt get the food that they got in England and they couldn't and wouldn't try to speak French.

( can I just say to anybody who actually reads this Blog... if you are planning on going the study/live abroad  it is a good idea to actually look into the culture of the country you are going to. Don't expect it to be the same as England its not it is a foreign country, Not everybody speaks English, learn the language!!! I know for the intelligent ones who are reading this already know this. I apologise)

Ok stress over. But they were a waste of time for Siân and myself but also the school. they also made Huddersfield students look bad, the tutors at ERBA were very unhappy about it all. Getting back to the exhibition, in the end we chose a basement exhibition space. there was enough room for our work and also room to display some things about our university to show the French students how we work in Huddersfield, but also to have a table of food and wine.

As the weeks crept closer we began to form a good body of work, and a good variety of skills. not just things that we had been taught in class but also things that we had developed ourselves. I came down with a stomach bug a week before the exhibition so my work was put on hold for a bit but I Managed to get it all done.

Siân did two really good powerpoint presentations to run on our laptops for the exhibition.
Today we have just got back from setting everything up, it looks really good. the space is just big enough for the two of us it has worked out really well.
