Hi all. How have you all been? I've been up to my neck lately. Year 3 is a tough busy year. It's tough to manage so many things at one go with FYP, PD, CME and not forgetting my beloved people. It's coming 5th week into my Year 3 and things are hell. I can't deny that.
Portfolio Development (PD)
I've just submitted my first PD poster for my first PD item and............. I got a feeling I got to refine or even redo it :/ I'll be meeting my PD mentor probably this Thursday or Friday. Maybe this is the life of a design student. I should rephrase that, life of a design thinking student. Yes, my is not the typical design where you make things look nice. My course concentrates more on design thinking. Well, there is still the physical side to it like drawings and doing prototypes.
Final Year Project (FYP)
I'm coping with my FYP so far. I got to say, being a leader is not easy :( I do feel guilty/bad cause at times I do feel I'm doing the job as a leader. So far, my team is doing good. I have support and co-operation from all of them. We had our 5th meeting yesterday and we have just sent an email to a non-profit organization hoping we could work together with them for our FYP. Our FYP is getting more interesting I would say. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I think FYP is my first REAL project because we will be dealing with people. I meant unknown people like we have to approach ourselves and such. Okay, to put it simply, strangers. Exciting.. Interesting.. Nerve-wrecking too.Our FYP supervisor (who is also my PD mentor) did helped us as well. I would say so far, we've been getting sufficient help/support. Can't wait for the interviewing part! May my team work well together till the end.
Creative Media Enterprise (CME)
This is actually one of the modules that I'm taking and we have to participate in a competition. The reason for another load being added on my shoulders. I guess from the module name you all are able to guess that its related to business. I never like business, honestly. I remember doing a business project back in Year 1 and I cried cause it's just too much to handle. However this time, we're only working on just giving ideas (of course including the rationale and such). I kind of like the idea my team has proposed. Sounds good to me. Another good thing, there might have CCE points for it. I hope the higher authority approves it!
School Overseas Trip (SOT)
So.. my course has this programme arranged. It's a learning trip to Bali, green school for 7 days 6 nights. Sounds awesome. They had this last year and seems like those who went had so much fun. Now, I want to go! I hope I get a place! This is happening before my IIP (Industrial Immersion Programme if I'm not wrong. Internship in short) Enjoy before intership starts! Still waiting for a reply at the moment.
So many things happening at the moment. Year 3 is a very busy and hectic year. So many things to cope and handle. I hope I'll be able to stay sane throughout my last year! It's graduation week this week and I do want to see myself there too next year, together with my friends (:
Time management has to be my best friend now. Procrastination has got to go (still trying very hard on this). Say hello to perseverance, determination and sacrifices. May Year 3 end on a good note.
Oh yes, do visit my FYP and PD blogs (:
