Assignments, assignments, assignments...

As the title suggests, much of this week was taken up with assignments; talking about them, thinking about them, panicking about them, queuing at length for them...

We got our Christmas project (well, that's how it was for me) back on Wednesday. The process involved an extremely long, winding queue which we joined in a pre-advised time slot which we missed at our peril, and I was fairly happy to see that I had passed, but rather disappointed with my 'satisfactory' result. Given the hours / days / weeks I had spent on the blasted thing, I felt I deserved a Merit, but it was not to be! Ah well.

After that traumatic experience, we went to our Contexts tutorial where we discussed in detail Assigment Two. It's not due until March 26th, but unfortunately this time we don't have a three week holiday beforehand to do it, so I'd better get thinking about it soon. No sooner was that over than I went to my APD where we discussed...yes, the assignment and research project for it! I have never done any sort of research in the past, but it actually doesn't sound that bad. I may change this opinion as time goes on!

In betweeen times I went to my animation workshop, where we had an hour to produce a short animation with music and sound-effects. My group decided to have an apple, slowly unpeeling to the music of The Stripper, and it worked really well. Unfortunately we kind of ran out of time, so didn't get to see what everyone else had come up with. We could do with another class, but alas, that's it for the animation!

And indeed for the whole Jordanhill experience for now, as we're all off to school on Monday. Already I am quaking in my boots, as my tutor tells me he will probably visit me the week beginning the 5th, which is not long at all. I was rather perturbed to realise, when copying my timetable into a blank one for my tutor, to realise I am down for no fewer than nine different classes. I neglected to find out which classes I would actually be teaching, but I'm hoping it's not all nine...apart from anything else, there is no way I can learn nine sets of names!

No doubt it will all become clear on Monday. In the meantime, I have lots of reading to be done...there goes my Friday night!
