Tutorial with new design.

Basically i decided it was not time to muck about any more, so i went and done some serious thinking with respect to this project..I found something that would be ideal as a focal point in my proposal, the Castle like building! Then i decided to have a look in the library for some precedents, and got cracking with throwing some ideas onto paper. This is definitely the approach i should have taken last time..I had my tutorial and Ed&Bridget seem to love my proposal, Bridget in particular says its a million times better than my last one. I need to work at a closer scale now and get into some serious detail, and prepare myself for my second tutorial on Tuesday 5Th. Then i got to get myself ready for my presentation, getting worried now! But i think if i do my work all should be well...

Final presentation, or was it!

Ok so basically today we had our final presentation for this project and lets just say it did not go well at all. I felt that my idea was fairly good, but clearly that was not a feeling shared by my tutors! Im really upset over that but i do understand why they were so straight forward. I should have known better myself, but i was jus naive in the sense i thought i can get away with some standard work! I failed to do any useful research that would help me with my work and the whole project lacked direction. Shame really i thought it looked pretty cool!

Any way i now find out that they are not impressed at all and have given us an extention of a week. Not a joke though, they seem pretty clear with the fact they want us to work a lot harder. I definately aint going to waste this opportunity.

Sustainability Report finished!

Wow another late squeeze, i do not know whats wrong with me..I once again left this written work to the last minute! Not proud of myself at all..I need to take this alot more seriously next semester, and you want to know how i feel about this report? Words can not express how pointless i feel it was! Like it makes any improvement to any of my other works! I feel i should have still paid a bit more attention to the report i do not want this to be the downfall of my year...my report was well written but i do not know if it had enough context to get a good grade but im confident ill pass the module and it will definately be a lesson for next year!

Finally finished with History and Culture!!

Handed in my second H&C essay today, o what a happy day it was! i can not think of a worse subject than history! It is something that haunted me since high school! However i did not find it that bad at uni, guess it was down to the fact it was about something i find generally very interesting. I forgot to mention once again with my youthfulness n stupidity i left this essay to the final day as well! I feel that i done pretty well though, last time he said i did not read the text thoroughly enough and needed more quotes to back up my points, well this time i use 3x as many quotes and not jus rubbish random ones! i feel i have progressed well but were going to have to wait and see...

Practice profile...West8

This is my powerpoint for my practice profile. It may look a bit empty and lacklustre, and i do agree, however my powerpoint was not the most important part of my presentation..I felt that talking freely and having a longer q&a period would be better! However a lot of people before me talked about West8 already and i was left with little to talk about that had not been mentioned already..I think i learned that in these circumstances i should try and go 1st so i can talk about what i really want! lesson learnt i guess.

That damn PDP...

Just handed in my PDP, what a long procedure that piece of work was! I feel it was kind of relevant and useful, in the sense that it brings to your attention what you are good at and what you need to improve. However as a piece of work that needs to be submitted i feel we could have done something a lot more useful with the time! I'm just glad to have got that out of the way really...
