Timetables: Trials and tribulations

Apart from being a terrible title for a video game based on time travel, after noticing that my last blog was 29/09/11 and that I haven't blogged at all this month, it has occurred to me that something needs to be done about how I manage my time for the four modules I am doing at Uni this year.

I had to miss last week's lesson due to having to travel to my Uni's head campus and so missed out on the work done and putting me behind.

Work wise I have to produce:-

- A robot
- An anvil
- K-9 from Doctor Who
- Rough ideas for the design of inorganic and organic modells, (these will be used for assesment of my skills for the module).

It is not going to be possible for me to complete all of these for tomorrow and so I need to focus on what is possible and make time to stop this problem occurring again.

This art module is overshadowed by a design module I am working on simultaneously purely by volume of work and by the fact that the design aspects are group work and take longer to complete.

Therefore, whilst I cannot cut down on the volume of design work I have, I must find a way to compromise  within my timetable to make sure all work is dealt with and deadlines are met.

I will do this by taking time out this sunday to re-organize my schedule and balance the work I have to complete. Currently I am aiming to have these modells/tasks completed for next weeks lesson, bearing in mind I will have another task from tomorrow's lesson as well. A tall order, but not impossible to do.

I have completed K-9 and will blog about this shortly. I have also nearly finished the robot and will hopefully be able to complete that before tomorrow's lesson and blog about it.

This will leave the anvil, which, while it was class work only, I feel is important as it requires a new skill that was covered in lesson, "extrude a poly at an angle", which I feel is critical to learn as it would have helped me immensly for the model of K-9.

With these three models done in a short amount of time, I will free up time this weekend to focus on re-organizing my schedule and the design ideas for my assesed pieces, which should become my main priority.

*sigh of relief*

Now that's out of the way, time to get on with it. K-9 will be up shortly, followed by robot tomorrow.

In the mean time, must remember to.......
