21st September

Today was my first day of uni. I was very excited to be finally starting, as I am happiest when I am busy. I moved back to falmouth on the 13th and I have been quite lonely and bored at times over the past week. Hopfully I will be too busy to be sad this module!

When I reaslied we had 2 meetings to attend, 3 videos to watch and 2 tasks to do today I did feel a little overwelmed at first. Once I got started and realised that none of them would take very long I relaxed a bit. I found I understood all the videos and enjoyed the task. I do think I rushed the task a little though. I could have spent longer reseaching before coming up with my final 100 words. I was too busy worrying about getting everything done in time. 

I like being able to see what everyone has done on padlet. One of the things I miss most about all working together in the studio is being able to wander round and spy on my friends. I think that will be a really useful tool. 

I am going to go to the beach with Kit now for a swim as a you-survived-day-one treat!

 Today I worked on the poster brief. I went into the studio early this morning to get started without distraction. I decided to work on paper untill I had a set layout because I liked working that way in the workshop the day before. I found this worked well again and within 2 hours, I had decided exactly what I was going to do. Felt pens and layout paper is definitely the way forward for me! This is a bit of a break though as layouts are something I struggle with. I already feel much more confident in this area than I did last year.  I also had a little chat with another student doing the same typographer and a member of staff who said they were one of his favourite practicioners. These were fun and interesting, but did not directly effect what I created. I then watched the guest lecture in the afternoon. I found it very interesting, particularly the bit about having your own projects, because I always have many things on the go! In the last couple of hours I have been trying ...

Last night fate brought me the answer to all my problems!! I missed the bus coming back from Badminton and didn't want to wait in the cold, so I snuck into the library. Whilst waiting in there, I casually picked up a copy of Creative Review and found the most beautiful contents page I have ever seen! I know exactly what I am doing for the contents in my book now!  Today we had textworks. I got up early and watched the lecture before the meeting. I struggled again with the visual notes but found the topic interesting and easy to understand. In the meeting, we got our essay brief. I have no clue what I am going to do for that yet! I should probably start thinking about that sooner rather than later! I understand what I need to do though so that is ok.  Then we were given part of a radio program to listen to, which I found interesting. The seminar was fun but not partly constructive.  I planned to work on my publication more today but I felt really sleepy so didn't.

I am all finished! I checked I was happy with everything first thing this morning, then went into the print room to get assistance printing it in the right way to make a book. I then used thread to bind it. I handed it in this afternoon!  I was worried about the printing and binding as I know that can easily go wrong, but I didn't have any problems and I finished it all really quickly.  I am very happy with my outcome. It looks very professional. I didn't think I was going to do very well in this module as I have always struggled with type but I am very pleased with the progress I have made. I am nom longer going to say "I can't do type!"
