A hint of confidence

The deadline day is just seven days away. I feel like I have got a lot of work to do, but not as much as I thought I would have. I came into college on Monday, which I am glad, as I completed a lot of needed work. I feel that I can work a lot better in college than I can at home, where I get disrupted often. The extra day on Monday really let me concentrate, it is something that I will start doing on a regular basis.

I also had a meeting with Steve on Monday, as I was stuck with my pixel conversions. He really helped me sort out my problem. This helped me get back on track as I was running a little behind. I knew from the feedback that I needed to show three screen designs and not two. This was something that I overlooked before. I will also keep this in mind for the next time I create a plan. I had the chance to look at some of the second years work but I didn't ask as I don't really know them. I feel that next time I see them I will ask for some inspiration. I now know they don't bite after I talked to some of them over coffee (Or a caramel mochachino).

Wednesday was a crack on day, apart from the announcements Steve made. I was able to complete more work, although most of my time was taken by my screen designs. These took hours to complete, but in the end I feel like I have made a much better job of it this time around. My first screen design work on A2 was rather messy. I will have to continue my screen designs like this in future, as they are much better. I also created the plan based on feedback from other members. I am really grateful of the feedback I received. It was helpful to see how different opinions people in the class had. I feel that the feedback sheets me and my feedback group came up with are a great idea and I advise other people (if they haven't already) to give them a try.

Thursday was spent mostly putting everything in the right order and making sure they were properly referenced. The references took absolutely ages! I kept finishing them and then finding a mistake at the beginning, which meant I would have to retype all the other references after. After I had received feedback from Steve I realise that they are still not correct. I must do more proof reading before I make changes, as this will reduce the time. I feel like I wasted a lot of time changing my references and not enough time on the important things.

The only thing I feel I am quite behind in is my banners. I feel that I should of spent more time with them. I will definatly have to stick to my time plan next time.

The feedback meeting from Steve went really well I thought. I now know what I need to change, ready for handing in.

This week I will be making sure that I make all the emendations that Steve has gave me, as well as my own proof reading. I will also make sure that I stick to my time plan. I will also be coming into college during next week if I am not interrupted by work ringing me. I feel like I will complete everything on time. I also feel that I must put more effort into my Blog, as last week I admit I neglected it. I feel that I have let Steve down by not making any comments, so this week I will try to make as many as I can. I have definitely put a 100% more effort into this week than any other. I will keep it up through the next week as well. I would like to achieve a merit, although passing first time would also surprise me.

Bring on the deadline!
