Transformation Disaster

So today was the day of the hand in for Transformation, which should have went a lot better than it did. However I pretty this was the work I've handed in for a project so far. I feel that I completely lost enthusiasm with it as we've been working on this project since September which I personally think is far too long, I also kept putting off doing work for it on the basis that we have ages, which soon became a problem when time caught up with me.
So I did what I always do when I'm stuck in a bad position, I panicked. Which is probably the worst thing I could do as I spent far too long on the finally piece and didn't get round to annotating my sketchbooks enough. However at least I did do it and the final piece did get finished but it wasn't to the best standard it could've been.
This isn't however why I'm unhappy with the work that I handed in it;s because I feel that I didn't do the project justice: if I didn't enjoy using a media I completely brushed it off, I didn't do as much experimentation as I possibly could've and I stuck with what I knew. At the beginning on the year I really enjoyed learned new techniques and how to use different medias (such as silk paper, felt making and plaster casting) however as the weeks went on I slowly began to lost interest and I'm not sure why. I don't really have anyone to blame but myself, another problem that came up a lot in this project was that I couldn't ask for help. Or more so that I felt I couldn't ask for help I'm sure if I did the lecturers would've have been happy too. This has been something that I've really struggled with and that I'm not to sure how to get over.
Admitting that I'm struggling has been something that I detest doing, so I rather stubbornly will quite going myself even if I've no clue what I'm doing. Although in a way I feel that day sort of needed to happen as looking back at this past year and looking at the work I handed in I've spotted several problems in the way that I work so I want to work on these and try my best to over come them. That's the plan any way, so whilst I'm quite disappointed in myself it has given me a new goal to work on to hopefully improve myself and my work.
