It came around quick, but we’re now back at college and once more we’ve got two assignments waiting for us. It has been quite a relaxing week to get us back into the swing of things, and I’m feeling confident that this time there’s some things I want to improve on again. I’ll leave that for a bit later though, because there was something else praying on my mind to begin with. So in the true essence of chronological order, I’ll go back to the point where we got our results.
I was anxious. There was only once over the Christmas period where I thought about my results, and that was in the form of an uneasy pang. What was wrong? Had I forgotten to do something? Did I deep down know that I’ve not passed? There was something there that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, but I had bad feelings. They didn’t surface again until the break before we got our results, and I started questioning myself again as to whether I had passed or not. It turns out I had passed, and all my uneasy feelings were just rubbish. I was also pleased to find out that I’d got a merit, which shows that I had at least took criticism on board and I’m continuing to improve. It was satisfying to see that my efforts to improve had paid off. I got a pass for the Picture This assignment, but I’ll have to wait for my feedback to find out why I didn’t manage a merit. I have ideas, but after the uneasy feelings of before I’ve decided not to pre-empt.
Now I’ve realised I’ve passed and I can put those assignments to bed, I’m going to try and improve yet again on time plans. Last time I was planning too big, so now I’m planning overall and I’ve just created a weekly time plan so I can be more flexible. This is all done on pen and paper again with lots of room to scribble out, so this time I’m going to try and stay on top of them and keep amending them. I’m also going to be looking to improve on my research, which I will be able to do very strongly for my presentation topic, Eric Gill. I’m going to research more thoroughly this time.
On Wednesday morning we received our Builder assignment, which I’m looking forward to completing. I finally feel like the hard work part has come to a point, so all I have to do is create the website. I imagine this could be quite a task for some people who have never created websites before, but I’m glad that in this section at least I have a fair bit of experience. I’ve been helping a couple of people getting their heads around Dreamweaver, which I enjoyed doing. If anyone else needs a hand you know how to get hold of me.
The other assignment is the Revert To Type one. I knew it was coming, so it came as no surprise when PRESENTATION was written across the brief. There’s also some other timed presentation in the afternoon of deadline day, which should make things interesting to say the least. Chuck in the random assignments as well, and it seems as though we’ll have a very interesting semester indeed.
Wry smiles all around?

I was really apprehenisve about results as well but I think that is just human nature. It is encouraging to know that there are some people in the class that have experience with Dreamweaver and are willing to lend a hand. Wednesday was my first real experience with the program and it was a bit daunting at first!
The basics of it are very similar to just your bog-standard word processor, so you should be alright using it.
