And so my SM allocation continues. I still don’t seem to have that much to say, but I’ll do my best anyway.
After some time doing SM now, I can report that it ain’t that bad at all. I realise that I am probably not getting the same experience as my peers on Opera 3, and in turn the same taste of SM. CPP allows me to be more creative than usual. Before I went in to my SM allocation, I thought that it would comprise mainly of making and updating lists, taking notes, making phone calls, sending emails and the like. To be honest, I have done very little of this. I have spent most of my time in the applied art departments making things. Thankfully though, all the globes are finished now.
Spending time in scenic has reminded me how much of a perfectionist I am. Trust me, making 20 globes made this fact abundantly clear. I found myself trying to match every contour and shape of the continents and islands on the map in front of me, where as Jamie took a somewhat more gun-ho approach to marking out the globes (the title of this post refers to this). I don’t know what it is about me. I like to think its just that I put my all into any task, but it has got me thinking, is such a trait a help or a hindrance when it comes to TPA, and in particular, TSM? When I am in a senior role in 3rd year, will I be anal about how things are done? Will I insist things are done a certain way? Only time will tell, I guess.
Here are a couple of pictures I managed to snap during CTP4:
Anyway, hopefully you will hear from me today tomorrow because I still need more content for my reflective summary.
Good night
Interesting post. I have been pondering about which traits are a help and which ones are a hindrance for some time. I have sort of started a blog on it, but it has sat in my drafts folder for months, might revisit it soon.
I guess it’s all about trying to find that middle ground between lazy and work-aholic or couldn’t give a crap and totally anal. (Now I am just taking lines from the blog! I shall revisit it some time)
