I know it may be too soon to speak but the final yet shortest term has arrived and I'm still here, alive and well. As we delve into the last term, a lot of work has to be done to ensure I get a grade I'm happy with. From the start of this course, our tutors have repeatedly said it's not necessarily about your grade for the next two years, its about experimenting and improving to find your best qualities so you can use these in your final year where your grade is accounted for.
I've got into a fairly good routine of blogging now, it's sort of comes naturally, when it reaches a certain time on a certain day I know its time to blog. However, reading on the other hand hasn't had as much attention, this is something I definitely need to improve over the next few weeks to up my knowledge which I can hopefully incorporate into my work. Our portfolio has also been building up from last term, a lot consists of work regarding the fragrance project, I've found myself a lot more into this term as it's more project based. After feedback from first year, I've tried to focus a lot more on the design recipe of my portfolio, making sure it all connects together. Although it's felt much longer I feel like I've had more time to spend on improving my work, which is something I did with the fragrance trend booklet. My workbook has been fairly inconsistent if I'm honest. With the first term at uni, I had a lot to put in there because I was learning so much particularly evidence of my skills on adobe creative suite, this term, due to it being more of a project I've felt like it was more of a notepad rather than a workbook. This is definitely something which needs a lot of work at the moment.
Finally when considering actually being a student, and combining cooking, cleaning, a social life AND uni, I think I've done fairly well... The kitchen is usually kept tidy, my bedroom is always tidy, I seem to get 3 decent meals a day and I usually am under budget. Does this mean I'm a boring student?!
It's quite surreal that first year is nearly over but I will definitely be making sure the last few weeks as a fresher count before I go travelling around South East Asia.
