failure
is always the best way to learn (KOC)
STUDIES
to tell the truth i havent really done much. for this mid semester project review for next week i'm pretty much stuffed. thoug i do have some ideas, and i direction i want to head, but in 5 weeks thats not exactly amazing. i guess i started looking at some books to do with self diagnosis, but there really isnt much other than the first aid guide, concept mapping for nurses to solve patients complicated problems, and my combination of somple medical knowledge and the idea of self knowledge. maybe this area that i am trying to pursue isnt really out there, and should that be a reason tos top or keep going? i guess i'll give it a go, but theres nothign much to research, and the things i think of are really only things i've made up.
i guess i'll do some hardcore writing this week and then file a report via email by the end of the week.
similarly in the 'experiences' bit i havent done all that much, but i have an idea of what might be applicable. and a few exercises i can do.
STUDIO
why am i not completely captivated by studio this semester, perhaps the things i am doing are interesting but not completely engaging with me - which is no-one by my fault. the sleep at uni thing, is really quite simple exercise and i really only need to start sewing the hammocks for the event, whenever that may be. perhaps i can tweak it a bit, to include someones food project and possibly hold it earlier int eh semester so that ic an maybe make a video and then edit and show it at the final exhibition.
overall, interestingly, i am enjoyign the making and cad side of uni this semester. the solar car, bike trailer etc are really getting me excited, and i am realising that i have some basic skills in solid works, rhino ( not not 3d max - maybe i can learn). why is it that i am interested in physical thigns this year, whereas last year it was the thinking side of the course which had me captivated.
to put it frankly i think its 2 things. the teaching and my need for a portfolio. soumitri was really engaging last semester, as was liam, but this year in modelling i have been given the chance to do what i want. in addition, i have foudn ti hard to get a grip with studies following the departure of lok. studio with kate is pretty good, but not nearly as inspiring or challenging as soumitri's. perhaps its better this way, ic an relax in different parts of the week!
then again, i can 't fudge a bike trailer at the last minute.

Hey for your studies you should look at those self diagnose books for parents when their kids start school that are at chemists as they cover things like worms, chicken pox and general stuff that kids are likely to pick up and what the symptoms are.
Yeah studio is good but is not as challenging as Soumitri’s I am also finding my projects are not nearly as engaging. I agree CAD is a lot better this year, even if you don’t go for a high mark and stuff up a thousand times I really feel as though I am slowly learning and picking up skills and remembering tools.
