The end of last week I had some spare time and just had some ideas in my head, so I went to the Curve at Wakefield College. I wish I didn't! I couldn't get any work done at all because of all the noise and found myself just sketching out my ideas and doing them when I got home. Learnt a lesson from not to work at the curve at Wakefield College anyhow.
I spent another few hours just adding things to my Blogger and trying to get to grips with it, found it quite annoying I just couldn't get my head round it. Luckily when i got into college on Wednesday, John was giving us a talk on Blogger. I felt this should have been done sooner as I really was having problems with it. After listening to John I learned on how i should set up a Blogger, the afternoon then was spent with Blogger. Scott showed me how to upgrade to Beta Blogger which was a hell of a lot easier and I really got a feel for Blogger and knew how to add links, pictures and more things with it, hopefully I shall get to learn a lot more about Blogger now. Which I think i can learn myself now.
I decided to get a bit more done on my assignment in the afternoon, I knew I had one of the worst jobs to come. Putting my word document into a Pagemaker template. I saw a lot of other students having a lot of problems with this so was dreading it, but i heard Steve was giving a lecture on the template in the morning so I thought i'd wait a while. After the day of college it was time to watch England lose.
Thursday morning and I was looking forward to getting started in transferring my Word document into a Pagemaker template. So after Steve's lecture I was ready to give it a crack. It must have took me all of 20 minutes to do it all and I found it relatively easy and was glad I waited for the lecture. I feel I am quite confident in Pagemeaker now but like most things, there's always more to learn.
The afternoon was pretty relaxing going into our feedback sessions, mainly because of the feedback groups and the chats with Steve I feel like I am going through the assignment easier instead of just letting us get on with it then letting us hand it all in. The slightest detail could get us a fail so I went through my work on screen and printed out. I noticed there was a few mistakes when I printed out that I didn't notice on screen, cost me a few pence but worth it.
When we came out of the feedback session with Steve, again I found more work to do. Not much but attention to detail is crucial. Fingers crossed on this assignment and hopefully I feel confident I can achieve a Merit for it.

'The Curve' is enough to try a saint's patience. You can always pop into Thornes on a Monday or Tuesday - there's plenty of room.
The curve is closer to where I live and always thought you could get peace in the library, but how wrong I was! I'll proberly start to use Thornes college in the future tho as it don't seem to have the loud kids who don't care less there.
