Week 30, Year 2 It is finally time

It was the week of the hand in for everything but off the map. So this week was mostly spent working on my reflective writing essay but I also had to get my blog updated and finish off my character re-submission. This was going to be a very hard week.

I had to write a reflective essay on my career aspiration. I was looking at being an environment artist when I leave and go and work for a small indie studio maybe. I started of my essay by making a simply plan, how I wanted to lay it out. Then went into each part and started making bullet points. On what I wanted to talk about within these area. Once I had all my points I just started writing about them more.

The problem I had was finding good references to use in my essay. We had to look for book and journals, not use the internet. I spent to long looking for references to use and should of found them before I started my essay. After sometime I finally went to the library to see it I could find anything I could use. I had found one book that could work but… when I found it. It was in a place where they put all of their gaming books. I had hit the jackpot of references. I ended up leaving with 6 books.

The essay took a lot longer than I had planned and left me with no time to work on my character. Thinking about it, it’s all to do with my time management. Something I talk about in my essay as an area I need to improve on. If I had not got so lazy over the Easter holydays and started my essay then. I could of maybe had it done sooner and could have had my character completed as well.

This week has been very hard and stressful. Looking back at it I feel like I’m back in my first year again and have not learnt from my mistakes. I need to make sure I follow my action plan that I made in my essay to improve all my skill for my 3^rd year because I cannot let something like that happen otherwise it may cost my future as environment artist.

All that is left now is off the map, only 2 weeks left.
