Nearing the end!

We are now in week 11 of the first of two classes in my Interior Design Diploma, and how quickly it has past.

Still in the early stages of this course, I continue finding myself questioning my abilities as it is all so new and foreign to me. I go in waves of 'I don't think I can do this' to 'Just think it through Lisa!!'

Again, I remind myself that anything worthwhile is always a little hard and takes commitment, perseverance, stamina for the long haul and some positive thinking. 

I will be happy to have a few weeks off soon to rest my mind, take a break and prepare myself for the next two subjects, being Bespoke Decoration and Design Drawing.  I suspect I again will be challenged and will do all the self talk to convince myself I am up for it.

Where do I want this course to lead to?  Truthfully, I am not yet sure.  But I am sure if I leave myself open to the whole experience that it offers and the people I will meet along the way, I will find myself with a whole new world opened up to me, and that will be worth all the hard work!

 So here we are, in a blink of an eye at week 12 and my first two subjects are at an end!  What have I learned?

Let's see what challenges it brings and I will continue to stretch myself and lean into this new pathway. Lxx

 Reflecting! I have just watched the recorded lecture for this week in my Intro to Design class, and have realised I have jumped the gun on a couple of things. I submitted my Assessment 2 a little too early.   Initially, I thought the submission date was a week earlier than what it was and was all ready to hit submit, having completed all elements of the requirements, or so I thought! Then realising that I had another week, I decided to submit anyway. After listening to this weeks lecture, I have realised there are a couple of details I should have refined and added to, but now I am unable to. As all my best thoughts, wonderings and ideas come to me in the shower (😏), I was thinking about my study habits tonight and why I submitted before I had to. My reflections were that I tend to stress and worry when I have multiple important tasks and due dates looming, in addition to work and home commitments, so then rush to submit things to take it off my plate!
