Introduction to animation today, intriguing, but 2 hours is not enough time to absorb the technicalities of the animation programmes. Did a bit more to the jigsaw. Had discussion with Mark about my work, the conversation was, to say the least, complex ! nevertheless, I believe Mark understands where I am coming from.
Had tutorial with Dr.David, he really is such a helpful tutor, he goes out of his way to help and discuss any ideas or questions that may arise, he really wants all of us to do well in our studies.
Didn't go to the library again tonight, it is like a mad house there, a lot of people are complaining about the noise level there, it is hard enough to get essays done without that added distraction.

Photography A.M,.took one of my works to be photographed.
We went through the developing process again, which was handy.We had to take portrait photographs of each other (cringe) !
P.M. essay but had to leave the library as it was too noisy, the canteen would have been quieter !
Did a bit more to the jigsaw, it is starting to take shape now.
Meant to have draft of essay for Dr. David tomorrow but that's a no go, too much other stuff going on at the moment.

All quiet on the western. Went to sculpture this morning, tried to play a DVD i made in France, for some reason it wont play, Marilyn going to see the illusive computer guy about it.
Went over to the moylish campus today for a learning skills workshop, it was very useful, we got a personality questionnaire to fill out, apparently it would cost 300 euros for the test, if it was done privately. The lady from the company is meant to e mail us back with some help/advice to aid our ways of learning, as Mr. Tesco would say; every little helps !
Painstakingly slow trying to sort the pieces for the jigsaw, at my present rate of progress, I figure I'll have it completed by the summer !
Had tutorial with Dr.David today, fair play to him, he actually came to me in sculpture to arrange it. I was really struggling with the essay and couldn't figure out why, apparently, I was missing the last line of the essay question, no wonder it wasn't making sense !!! Got some great advice from David, when he explains it; the format etc, it sounds really easy ! Perhaps it will be, we'll see.
