New Year, Same Old Me

02/01/17 - 06/01/17

So what have I accomplished so far this year? I have officially finished my research report, so that's one less thing to worry about. I spent the majority of this week typing that up and I have to say I have never been so relieved, it was so much harder to write than I thought. Writing is normally something that I enjoy the most during the units, it sort of just always comes naturally to me, however I think because this one had to be written a lot more formally than I'm used to, it just threw me off a little. Thankfully, my cousin has an MA in creative writing so he was able to help me out a few times - just with order and my grammar, so that was super helpful. My Mum was also able to spare time for a few proof reads too. So that's over, one thing ticked off the list! I just need to finish my table of illustrations and appendices, but I can do that one evening next week.

I had planned to go into uni the four days that it was open, but the report was just begging to be finished and I needed to get that out the way before I could begin to focus on my practical work again. I did manage to make it in on the Thursday - had a good tidy of my desk, went over to the graphics people and changed the paper that I wanted my wallpaper patterns printed on to and made a plan for the final week ahead.

It was pretty simple and list-like in all fairness, just a all the finishing off bits: moodboards, headering my fabrics for fashion and mounting a few things. All the time consuming bitting things, that make big difference to someone looking through my work. 

It's on, let's do this!
