Second Week

 I can say that my second week was still just as overwhelming. I'm struggling to stay positive with my capability of completing the work. The lecturers are amazing and not the problem. I'm reading and listening to the information but I'm not sure how much is staying in. We did a drawing exercise on Tuesday and after seeing others attempts at drawing, it made me feel that most of the others have a natural ability with the art side of things. It's making me question if I've chosen the right course. But Wednesday's lecture in Introduction to Design Studies did help with making me feel that if there is a whole class on helping stay positive and trying to give you different tools to help you get through, I think there must be a lot of others feeling the same way. I will keep putting in the time and work this week and see how I go.

It feels like it will be a very long time before it feels natural. But I have started to hear the repetition of design terms in each class, which makes it seem like I am starting to understand the vocabulary. I guess it's really not any different to medicine. When I started my nursing degree, that felt like a foreign language, too. I've turned in 2 assessments and am not feeling very confident with the results. But I did give it my best, so we will just wait and see.
