Tuesday 19/9
We met at 10.30 to discuss with Kami the things we had talked and discussed the day before. After the meeting we had a coffee or two and came to the conclusion that we wanted to look at other surroundings that we find inspiring. We wanted to look at some buildings in Lundand konsthögskolan in Malmö
Monday 18/9
Today we met at the wall to be composed into groups. We had to be atleast two different programs and at the most five people. When we had formed our groups we started to create our own assignment. We are to meet Kami everyday to tell him what we have done and then discuss how to proceed. We brainstormed for quite some time and then chose that we wanted to put the emphasis on our environment around school. We all found that it was not very inspiring to us and we wanted to change it. To find more inspiration and to just have a look around we went to IKEA.
Friday 15/9
All the groups had their coreogragpies ready and printed on paper. It was the most fun I’ve had all this course. It was so nice and experimental. The different groups had so many different ideas. Blowing ballons, saying hello and smiling to everyone we met and playing our mobile ringtones. A really swell day all in all that ended with a big dinner for all MVD students.
Thursday 14/9
We met in the auditorium for a lecture on performances and stuff by uglycute and then headed out to town for a little something called a “slow walk”. We had to walk a distance of maybe a 100m in 30 minutes. During this we had to be quiet but were allowed to read the newspaper or listen to music. I listened to a book I had on my mp3 player. All during the time we did our “slow walk”, we were asked if we were part of a demonstration and just a bunch of other things people just assumed.
It was a real blast!!!
After the slow walk we were given groups and then a route on which to make our own coreographed walk with the rest of the hundred or so students in the course. We started walking back and forth and discussing ideas. Finally we came to a conclusion, maybe not the most fun one and decided to meet in the morning.

Monday 11/9
Came to class today to get informed on what my group was planning on doing and to get into the assignment. We we’re supposed to get feed-back on the ideas we had, but since I had none the time didn’t feel all that rewarding. My own fault i admit but I really don’t feel tha passion I should for it. All I can think is why, why, why……………..why are wehaving this course. What is the purpose? And why are we not learning anything, or even getting what we’re supposed to learn.
Meeting with the group at 9.30 tomorrow to get started with the project. It sounded OK. Let’s see where this takes us
Thursday 7/9 New beginnings
This lecture was interesting but still had a hard time remaining concentrated…… Every day that passes makes it more and more difficult to find the energy to want to continue. But I know that I have to. I had a hard time finding the meaning of their projects and how they got hired for realising their ideas……
But what do I know…… After the lecture I went to the page on webzone to see if the list about our course litterature, but was unable to find it. I feel that the terrible lectures that seem to have been prepared for about 5 minutes, need some books that you can turn to for inspiration. Or at least som films or ducumentaries. Another thing that affects my thoughts about this course is that the original schedule says we are going between 9-16 or even 18, and when we sometimes have as little as 45 minutes instead it makes you wonder. It takes longer than that to travel to and from school………..

Tuesday 5/9 The Inspa-roll
Today I kept working on the assignment we recieved yesterday. My brain has been working non stop since last afternoon, trying to think of a genuine and new idea. It proved harder than I thought in the beginning and I found myself throung many (not so good ideas but still) in the bin. Finally i thought of something in the gym and went straight home to make my model. We’ll see what the others think tomorrow, now
