Two weeks to go

It's amazing how as this course continues my learning curve just gets steeper and steeper. It's 2 weeks till D day and I still have a heck of a lot to do.

I pinned up 2 weeks ago which was mortifying. I was really behind, my presentation was terrible and my work even worse. It was like one of those dreams where you're in a place, you look down and realise you have no clothes on.

I've moved in with a friend down the road so I can get to the library easier every day (Brighton is a bit of a shlep). I'm on first name terms with the staff at the petrol station over the road as I get my coffee and chocolate  and I regularly get a second look in my dishevelled state, but I'll get there. When I do I'll be poor and overweight but it will feel fabulous.

So two weeks to go, lovely Tanya is giving me a crash course in In Design and I'm going to do my best. Why oh why does the university not teach In Design - it's heavenly. Forget Bryce and 3D Autocad that we were taught, 2D Cad, In Design and Photoshop are my running shoes as I sprint to the finish.

Life is what happens while you're busy making plans

T'was the week before pin up and all around the house was quiet. Who am I trying to kid!  I've had a week where my beautiful 5 year old niece was taken into intensive care for 5 days with breathing problems, I've had one of the contracts terminated on a block of flats I maintain  and I have a perpetually crashing AutoCAD.
