When I got home today, my mum told me my cousin ends school at 4pm on Fridays. She asked me to hitch a ride with him if I'm coming home. She also said he drives to school everyday and he still gives tuition to 3 kids on the side. Well aren't you a lucky one?

Too bad we don't have a car. Too bad he's doing Business and I'm doing Industrial Design. Too bad I have 7 projects in the first week of school and also to contend with various tasks to do in hall. Too bad I have to overnight on the first week of school and spend my weekends in school doing up my group projects.

Too bad I have to sleep in a sleeping bag and with a small bolster on the dusty rubbish strewn floor of the studio simply for my work. Too bad I didn't bathe for 2 days or slept only 5 hours out of those two days. I'm sorry I can't take tuition of up to OMGCANYOUBELIEVEIT 3 kids on the side to supplement my income and have to ask you for money. I'm sorry I don't have time to do so and that all my time is spent on my various projects. What must I do for my work then? Is there any point in showing you my work when you don't know what I have gone through for it?

That's why I hardly go home or show anyone else other than my classmates what I have done.

Back home today. Last week I didn't even bother. No time. I'm about to get back to work. It's getting late and I have to head back to school tomorrow for a project meeting in the morning but I wanna get some work done today. Anyways, today woke up and went sch for project. They said 11. I KNEW they'd be late so I arrived at 1130. Guess what? They arrived at 1240 and 1pm respectively. -facepalm-

Wasn't much in the mood for work today. Dunno did our brains all self-impose some sort of study break for us. Got very little work done. Highly dissatisfied and disappointed. Just plain no mood. =( Even my massively expanded library of classical music failed to get me in the mood to do anything. I must make up for it. =\ Planned out all I must do. Some amendments to yesterday's plan.

I must motivate myself.

Because no one will.

I am responsible for my own work and learning.

I am responsible for pushing myself.

I am responsible for my grades.

I must do better than last sem.

I must put on maximum effort into everything that counts.

This must be my mantra.

Tomorrow I will head to school, and do a project meeting. I have to finish my sketches tonight and try to analyse my can opener. After the project meeting I will meet up with a few friends to shop for our models. I will head back to school to stay over. Stay over and do my foam handsets. Wake up on Saturday morning and do the remotes. Essentially a repeat of last week. That's good. Do the remotes all day [clicks sticky note]

and see what else left to finish by Sat night. Targeted goal is to finish the following:
Sketches
Foam Handsets
Ergonomics project
Remotes project 80%
Part of History project
Part of Handle Project 50%
Get models for my metamorphosis
Metamorphosis drawings 50%

8 items by Sat night. 2 days. No biggie. Nothing a night in studio can't solve. I want to finish my things ahead of time. My blog has essentially become a very handy tool to organise my thoughts and work and plan them out properly so I don't get swamped by work. By typing everything out I can keep track of all I must do and use the weekend to kill all of it!

Oh yes I need to buy Copic markers! Anyway. Here's what I did today if anyone is interested. I know it's been ages since I uploaded pics on my blog so I thought it'd be nice for a change. This is what I worked till 6am for. It's not super fantastic or whatever but at least I've improved after sem 1. All that sketching on buses during the holiday sorta helped I guess?
