Thoughts so far

D I R E C T I O N

At the moment I'm feeling a bit confused about which direction I feel I am working towards. So far L5 has been up and down and one minute I think I know what I want to do, and then the next minute something has changed my mind back again. Its a time of development and I am learning more about myself as a creative person and how I like to work. This project has been particularly good, and I have found it easier and ideas have come more naturally to me. I think I have worked out that I like to have some sort of product to work towards in the end, what I haven't worked out though, is whether it has to be something I have set myself, or if can it be something that someone else has set for me? 

After thinking about this a bit, I went to speak to two of the tutors today to find out some more about Unit x.

 We had to make our unit x decisions quite early on this year, and at the time I decided on College 2 which was to work as part of a design team. The other options are College 1 which is for teaching, College 3 which is about thinking in new ways, and College 4 which is aimed at people who are thinking of self employment. I picked College 2 as I have always thought that I would want to work as part of a design team, however I think I would have been happy doing any of these Units as I'm still really unsure of my direction. Today I went to see Fiona who told me more about College 3. It sounds really interesting, learning to think in new ways, becoming more ambitious and learning to look outwards. It also sounds very challenging, at least to begin with. You work as part of a group of around 8-10 people collaboratively. I then went to see Sally who told me more about College 4. This also sounds really good as you can work towards a final outcome, but of your choosing. (Different to 2 which is set). College 4 also gives you the opportunity to do a lot of sampling and thinking about manufacture and bespoke production of products. 

I am going to think about it a little longer before I make my final decision.
