Long story short I am an architecture student who is meant to be taking part in a degree show organised by the class of about 30 people. Naturally 6 people approximately took charge and a few people decided not to take part. There are many aspects to the exhibition the main one being a huge a1 lantern with our work printed on. The people who put themselves in charge decided the class would use the most expensive plasticky paper on the market which meant we were to be charged £110 each which was later reduced to 70. Either way I couldn’t afford it so I agreed to help with the corridor part of the exhibition as planned but I wouldn’t have a lantern. Today the website was launched and guess what? I’m not on there :/ I haven’t said anything yet and I don’t intend to as this is not a mistake. As I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t afford the lantern at the time of the printing order I spoke out on several peoples behalves which rubbed a few people up the wrong way. I tried to keep everything Professional but it seems I am dealing with children as this is the response as well as being blanked by certain people whenever I go in to lend a hand.
Today as I was helping, a girl waited till everyone had left the room then whispered to me that there is a photographer coming in this friday before the opening to snap a picture of the group for the newspaper. It is a secret because some people think its ok to decide who is in this picture depending how worthy they are of being in the exhibition. So my problem is I feel left out and upset by it as I think I do deserve to be in it and I have unfair classmates who up until recently I thought were my friends. I want to go to make an unspoken statement but I would feel sooo awkward and uncomfortable to the point where I am questioning is it worth the discomfort? I don’t know. My emotions and thoughts are all over the place. I have yet to find out whether I have been included in the booklets and books as I did all the work for them. I hope this situation makes sense. Its late and I’m tired so the english might be terrible I’m sorry. If anybody can make sense of this and give me their opinion I would be really grateful. Thanks
