Studies not happening

Been ill for the last two weeks, and didn't go to uni for a week until today. but it didn't stop me from going up to Tuntable Falls or watching Wolverine or Star Trek. I find that I haven't got much further with my Masters than I was a month ago.

I need to:

• Research and Script two graphic novels;
• research techniques for printing both
  (by producing Hypergraphia 7 and converting web comics to paper);
• Start on my research paper (a review of transgender art and transgendered artists).

But it seems very hard to get anywhere. I get to uni, and seem to get lost and distracted. I don't know what's wrong with me, But at this rate NOTHING will get done.

Scotties Sidekick

Yep - here's where Scotty's sidekick in the new Trek film comes from.

The purpose?

I visited Jenn this morning before going to university. One of the carers came in to examine her feet and attend to the sores on them. Somehow I happened to mention that I was off to university afterwards and she asked me what I was studying and when I told her a Masters in Visual Arts she asked "what would it lead to?" (i.e. what sort of employment would it get me).

Here's the thing - it doesn't.

I had the same issue after my Bachelors and Honours. There was/is no employment plan or benefit after the course. In truth, I'm doing the course in order to do my graphic novels, and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere just at the moment. Been so hard to concentrate just now. Got to university today and after the lecture (held in the gallery) I wandered off to NUSA for a coffee and ended up on the IMDB Star Trek board. Sigh - I seem to be deliberately distracting myself, again.

No wonder this is going nowhere. Why am I doing this?
