Week 10= frantic.

With an interim review looming at the end of week 10, I was confident I could have everything whipped into shape in time and put a nice presentation together. I was happy and confident, until the full extent of what I needed was revealed. Rather than just presenting the work I had been working on, I needed a complete proposal to present. Cue a week of slightly frantic, but highly productive activity. With the odd late night thrown in, I had a suitable chunk of work to present and was looking forward to getting it out there and some feedback being given. However, my questionable, potentially flu-like illness decided to rear its ugly head on Friday morning, meaning I was in no way fit to make the presentation which, as well as being extremely unpleasant, was annoying because it rendered all my hard work to meet deadlines somewhat irrelevant, and meant I didn't get the feedback on the project. Grr.
Weeks 8 and 9 have been a bit funny for me. I've been working on the habitat project, sort of making progress but at the same time sort of grinding away without a particular direction. The project is coming together nicely, but I still feel a little disillusioned with the whole affair, without wishing to get too philosophical or anything...
I've really not a huge amount to report on the habitat project. As for other little projects, I have just been working away at them in little bits of spare time I find myself with. The campus journey sketches are proving time consuming, mainly because I tend to do a sketch really quickly, intending to re-do it in a more tidy fashion, but it turns out really good so I end up with something which started out scrappy, then progressed into something neat and the end result isn't really either so I'll just do it again anyway. It's a bit frustrating but that seems to be how it's working for me.

Oh, I thought I'd sling this in too. Id doesn't really relate to anything but it looks quite nice and what is wrong with that?
