My Assignment is back......

.....and it had lots of really useful and constructive comments on it !  So I have printed it off and high-lighted the bits I need to work on and then I'll put the amended things on here in a separate new post.

My tutor has also included some really handy comments on how to improve this blog and make it a more useful and relevant Learning Log. 

And the exciting comment was to try something a little quirkier now and again :-)

So lots of things to work on, lots of things to work towards, and some very encouraging comments about my work - I'm happy with that !!

More delays...

Well, my assignment went off on the Friday and I wanted to spend the following week (last week) bringing the projects that I'd either not done, or not completed satisfactorily, totally up to date.  Great idea, but it didn't happen!  Last week was, well, difficult, hectic and tiring and it was all I could do to keep up to date with the 365 project I'm doing (see www.flickr.com/photos/sue-in-nz/). 

This week began the same way last week finished, but on Thursday I hope to be able to spend a bit of time on this.  Mind you I am dog walking my old neighbours' dog every morning this week, and Thursday is my shopping day.  But with a bit of rearranging I should be able to do it.

On the plus side I did take my camera (the DSLR not the compact) with me when I walked the dog this morning.  Got some lovely pictures of poppies (using vertical and horizontal orientation, which I can put towards one of the projects) which may be suitable for an exhibition later in the year, and I saw a Kingfisher by the stream.  So beautiful and too fast for me to photograph !

Right, I have 10 mins before I need to be somewhere else, so I'm going to do some work.

Delays...

Arrrrggggghhhhhh ........

Well last week was half term so I managed pretty much nothing in terms of my course work.  But it was a lovely week and I kept up to date with my 365 project.

And this week?  Things have just taken so much longer than they should have.  It happens, I know, but it is annoying as I'd wanted to have the Assignment emailed to my tutor by now.  But I have tomorrow ear-marked for getting the email off.  All the photos are in the right folder and labelled properly, and I have begun the Word document to go with them - the intro is almost done and I know what I need to say about the photos (I think). 

Once I have got the Assignment off, I shall spend next week making sure I have completed all the projects I should have done, and then I can begin the next section.

That's the plan.......
