week-3 sept 29th

Monday was our first critical studies lecture, so i left home mid morning to arrive on time. which was pretty pointless as we did not start until four anyway. it was slightly confusing at first i did not quite understand the point of the lecture, but as the hours went on, it was alot less complicated. we were given a image analysis exercise to complete, which needs to be in for next Monday. i will try and complete this by Thur, or at least the draft so i do not rush it. We were in from nine on Tuesday and we found out why we had to do the summer research. mine was pitifull. after looking at everyone else i began thinking that i probably should have put some more effort in whilst we had the summer, but i was not in the frame of mind during the summer, so the work i completed wouldn't have been interesting anyway. after seeing an example of what style of work we were to complete i knew what the standards were. my mission is to make make interesting work for this based on the skills i learnt during my year in foundation-otherwise it would have been a wasted year. on the Tuesday we were also given the creative approach to fashion briefing book, on this book was the work that we would be doing for module. and on Wednesday i was expected to create an A2 illustration. this has not happened yet. so i will be doing this and the other private study during week 4. I'm actually quite surprised at how much work we have been given already as all anyone ever says it that uni is easy. Thursday was an independent study day, so i could have caught up on some reading but i thought it essential to take a walk around the city on my own to get used to it. I'm still struggling to find my way round from time to time, so i felt this was not a waste of time. it also allowed me time to prepare for Charlotte's birthday night out. Friday, got in at half three in the morning but still prepared for my creative design realisation class, which would last all day. with Hugo and Lynn we practised using the sewing machines and began learning how to create seams.I had not used a sewing machine properly since i was about 15, but the handbook was very useful and most of the information we needed was in it and was very straight forward. (thats me on the machines) after the lesson was over i prepared my self for going home a.s.a.p so i did not miss my train home. whilst travelling back i made a list of things i would need to complete over the next few weeks so i could be slightly organised.
