Well rested again and assignment hand in.

Yesterday i have gone to sleep about 10-11 oclock and i had woken up today really well rested. I feel really good and ready to work.

I also have completed all of my assignemnts on time and reworked the outstanding ones. I have improved my time managing skills by going to sleep earlier and handing assignments in on time.

Presentation and confidence.

On the communication and employability unit i had to perform a presentation to whole class about a contriversial topic. I have made a presentation about using cell phones and how they are dangerous to our lifes and what they can cause. Because of doing this presentation i have learned new skills about presenting to an audience and also how to create a good looking and understable presentation to get my point across. I also have improved my confidence a lot because i have made eye contact with the audience throughout presentation but i still need to work on the way i say things and organise the presentation a bit better.

University research.

After I finish college I want to go to a university so I have looked at some different ones. Now I need to decide which university I will be more likely to go into because I like the courses they provide, and also we had a visitor in college from Derby University doing a presentation about a game design course which I really enjoyed. I’m planning going to derby, Nottingham or Lincoln University. There probably will be some more choices for me with time so I’ll have to keep in mind the choice of university.

Stopped using my phone in lessons.

Yesterday I never took my phone out of pocket during the morning peroid of lesson because i didnt needed it but afternoon i used it in order to take notes and photos to show evidence for my assignment. It was in programming and computer systems so my lecturers can prove it.

Computer performance check.

In the computer systems lesson i have performed an performance check using a novabench benchmarking tool and saved the evidence of it so i can use it later in my assignment.

Found a temorary job.

I work as a designer and a bit of a programmer and i have new client that wants two websites making about their company which is a car repair garage and also lpg installation service.

Sleeping pattern improved.

Last night i have gone to bed about 10 oclock and fell asleep round 12 which is quite good and now in morning i am feeling well rested and i am active in lesson.
