It has been a couple of weeks since I met with Jan; my Mentor. She helps me to organise my work and keep me on the right track as I have a tendency to get anxious and upset very easily when I feel un-organised and out of control. Jan is a great help as she listens to me explain my work and this really makes me focus and smooth out any problems I have.
I have arranged to see her later on this week to go through what I have done so far and what the next progression steps are. Just having somebody to listen so I can speak my ideas out loud, gives me clarity. Discussing and sharing ideas is very beneficial I think.
I have asked Jan to send me the notes made last year on a talk Mark Webster did to the Photography course in their weekly Photovoices, which is a programme run inviting guest speakers to talk about their career/progressions and answer student questions. My most memorable being Martin Parr!!!

By getting the notes from this talk, I can ask Mark more directed questions because I will have a brief background about what he does and where his interests lie. I will also be able to find out about some of the projects he has already taken part in.
My aim for this mentor meeting will be to:
- Get some guidance on how to answer the questions Mark Webster has posed to me for our tutorial.
- Find out how to reference 'working papers'.
- Go through my questionnaire's for Hannah, Trevelyan and Mark to see if the questions are effective and whether I have missed out anything important.
