Friday the 13th
Saturday, October 14, 2006
It’s not every day you get a Friday the 13th in October of all months. As a result of this, extra caution was taken going out last night to party. Luckily in a dramatic turn of events the night turned out to be one of the best I have had in my first month here at university. Perhaps I could have ridden the scooter a little slower into my bedroom door and perhaps if I did my cheek wouldn’t be hurting quite so bad, but I didn’t and that’s just something I am going to have to get over and deal with. I woke this morning to find some epic videos on my phone but perhaps not something I should share on what is fundamentally a very professional blog.
Big day tomorrow. Last round of the South West Centre Championship. Big day. Perhaps I should get some sleep.
I must stress that nobody was harmed or kept against their will in the making of this production.
An old portfolio design concept
Thursday, October 12, 2006
I stumbled upon an old design concept I came up with earlier this year, which was going to be used on this site in the portfolio section. Looking at it I think it has some potential so I may consider developing it further and actually cracking on with the portfolio side of this site. I’m not totally sure which direction I want to take it. As I said before, I have to many ideas and want to do them all. It’s hard to choose. Anyhow, have a butchers.
The life of a student: First impressions
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
It’s been almost 4 weeks since I first moved into my halls here at the University of Plymouth. It’s unreal how quick the time has gone since coming up here but it’s been brilliant. The course seems really good and shows a lot of promise and as for my house mates, well they are just awesome. It’s been pretty much none stop fun so far and hopefully it will continue that way.
I already feel as though I have become a lot more independent, but I’m probably kidding myself. Thinking about it, I’ve been pretty much eating nothing but super noodles, pot noodles and toasted bacon sandwiches. All of which taste great, but pretty soon I’m going to end up turning into a noodle or a rasher of bacon. I need to experiment a little more and perhaps venture out of my comfort zone and try cooking something “proper”.
The last few days I have spent a lot of time looking at various design work and reading a number of different design publications. All of which has massively inspired me and I have a load of new ideas that I want to try out soon. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to find the time to sit down and really try to design something, putting all my effort into it. Paying close attention to detail and spending more time on it until I am happy with the end product. When in the right frame of mind I find I’m inspired by the most simple things. It’s annoying to be honest because I have too many things I want to try and this results in me starting something and not seeing it through till the end or just rushing it and then starting on something else.
I don’t know. My head is fried. Too much going on, too many thoughts. Not enough time.
