Crit feedback; much improvements required

These past two days were really demanding. Design and building analysis as well as 1:100 scale model was required for the first session. Thankfully I completed the required work with only two hours of sleep. Ah, the life of a BTech student in just their third week of varsity. 

After hearing the class present, I felt quite like the underdog since I'm the only student in the class not originally from NMMU. But, I put my brave face on and said what I needed to say. And everyone was so helpful and insightful. I got positive and encouraging feedback from everyone, especially my lecturer. Safe to say I have LOTS to improve on and that just made my weekend that much more heavy. 

Another weekend working towards success...  

First hand-ins... Stress levels increasing

This week holds two deadlines and I'm starting to feel the stress levels rise. I'm coping and managing to keep pen on paper but I can't help but feel like I'm still stuck in the holiday mood. 

Thankfully, my lecturers are really helpful and have pointed me in the right direction. I hope that what I produce is acceptable to their high standards. 

Here's hoping.

New year, New City, New University, New people

So here I am, bright-eyed and fresh at the start of a new designing year at a new university with new class mates. First impression: everyone is so friendly and awesome! I really love this place and the atmosphere. The lecturers are so helpful and always willing to help. I'm so keen and excited for the year.

Watch this space for weekly updates.
