Getting Blogged Down

A good talk on Blogs in the morning made me spend a bit of time enhancing my own blog, put links on it, put all my classmates blogs on and tidied up the wording.

This week has been one of the most hectic weeks I have had so far. I finally got my assignment into the near completion stage when it all came tumbling down around me.

The assignment layout and presentation on submission day has been playing on my mind and seeing as there have been 3 Prime Ministers and 4 USA Presidents since I last did anything like this, things have changed, considerably. To put it another way, if I had missed Wednesdays lesson my assignment would have been 'returned to sender' no doubt.

The lecture on fine tuning the assignment, the talks with Steve and the valuable talk with Diane put things into perspective on Wednesday. I KNOW Ive done too much research, I KNOW I'm a bit eager to please and I KNOW that I have done things for this assignment that are maybe not required but that is in my genome structure and Im proud of that.

The fact of the matter is it did not meet the criteria expected of a college student. The learning curve this week has been 'not to do more than what is expected'.

I am treading a fine line, it's my nature to be meticulous in my work to achieve merit grades and achieve a high standard, I have done it for most of my life. I am left with a feeling that I am having to hold back on what I normally do. It's just that I do have a genuine enthusiasm for this course.

The people at college a great, there isn't one of them that is not approachable and I am enjoying it immensely.
I spent a small part looking at other peoples assignments. The ulterior motive was to check that mine was okay but I also helped a few out pointing out the odd spelling mistake and small inconsistencies.

I just have to get into the habit of acting and thinking like a student.

Anyway looking at the other blogs and people showing off their 'final' designs, heres mine.
