The last two weeks of college have been rather a bit of a blur. Its gone so fast i can barely distinguish between the days, i suppose this time has been rather more about settling in and getting to know people than beginning any form of serious work just yet.
Ive just started to feel as though ive been here for much longer and have rather started to enjoy myself....
After the briefing for the coming projects over the year i have started to get excited about what is to come. The aspect i am most looking forward to this year is continuing with pattern cutting. I did an NCFE in it last year and absolutely loved it, it gave me a real insight into realising outcomes for clothes and limits etc on outrageousness rather than simply illustrating fashion pictures.
Before my art foundation i was set on becoming a costume designer and had been for years, as soon i went there i was introduced to so much more and changed my mind weekly about what i wanted to do. So i have come very open minded into this fashion course, and im not sure which direction i will take in the end.

One thing i need to get into is being more organised, the state of my room is reflective of my organisational skills ie, absolutely appauling. To work in any competetive industry you have to have a business head screwed on so this is one of my main goals for this year. Especially with deadlines and i think when we get to work with the third year on their project this might help me for i would feel guilty letting someone else down on their hard work.
Also another major thing is presentation

On the workshop thing we did i discovered i was a social learner, which suprised me greatly, i think when i am trying to work effectively i have to be on my own or i am incredibly easily distracted. But i do agree that i need to discuss ideas etc before i go about doing them, maybe this will be a key part of my learning for this year...

All in all really i am just beginning to get excited for what is to come...
