Jingle Bells...
This has been a very, very busy week for me at college and work. With deadlines looming on both projects and work the pressure is really starting to build. At work, the ticket pre-sales are all going wrong which just adds more stress to the situation. Today I've mostly felt sick to my stomach with all whats going off. This must be what pressure feels like!
I feel that I'm not behind but on the other hand I feel that I have lots and lots to do before next week. Looking back through my work I'm seeing glaring errors where I have missed references out and have to go back and change all the other references.
Getting my screen designs has took a great weight off my mind as last time I found this to be one of the most fiddly and time consuming parts. Getting all the measurements in correctly and making sure everything is noted certainly does make the time fly by.
Hopefully my screen designs will please and hopefully someone will offer some constructive criticism on them.
Looking back over the project I wish I had have planned things better. Not nessecarily the time but rather the work. I think next time I'm going to get one thing completely done before moving on the next as this often leaves me with semi completed bits of work that may only need a few tweaks - but takes hours when you have to do on a lot of things.
Having two projects means having better time planning also. Sometimes I think one project takes a backseat while you pour your heart into another. This obviously leaves one suffering which isn't a good thing. This is something I need to consider next. The first project wasn't as bad as the sketchblog assignment went hand in hand with the rest of the work.
Overall, a very stressful week. This has certainly make my heart pound a bit and I will be glad when its Christmas, and it's all over. I can't wait to see Father Christmas either.

Changing all the references again and again was also a pain for me. I kept noticing more mistakes and had to keep writing the references out over.
I think next time I will do more proof reading, and spotting the mistakes before I type up my references. Maybe this will sort your problem as well.
Yeah, that old references problem. This time I've made absolutely sure they were the very VERY last thing I've done. No doubt they'll be something I've missed though and it will be time to chop and change again.
How are you liking the pressure?
Makes you feel alive doesn't it?
I've done a good few of my references just at the top of the page like you have done, but leaving a lot till the last minute! It's a pain in the arse doing them references!
How can they be a pain [in the a*se], if by including them, you have a chance of passing an assignment rather then referring it!? They're a simple fact of HE life. If you see them as a 'problem' you will mentally approach them in a different way. Be positive.
It has been a busy week for us all. I think some pressure can focus the mind, once you have a beleif in yourself that you can handle it, it isn't so bad.
You are finding, like the rest of us, that its the small parts which are most fiddly, and end up taking large chunks of time. I think you will get more use to it as the assignments and deadlines go by.
Steve, think I said it wrong. I meant the references was a pain when adjusting them when you had to edit the content of your assignment then just putting all your references to cock by adjusting them all over again.
Not been that bad this time around as i've saved them until the end.
