Firstly, let me apologise for leaving it so long.
Secondly, let me update on all that has happened. Well, I say all that has happened there's not actually been that much.
Module 2 is very nearly complete. I have managed to draw 2 schematic plans, 3 technical plans (2 floor plans and a wall elevation) and provide a rationale for my final design. It's now just a case of uploading the documents for assessment. I'm not 100% happy with the final results of my drawings as they are hand-drawn - AutoCAD still evades me, although I did receive AutoCAD 2010 for Dummies for Christmas so hopefully I'll conquer some parts of it for my next module. If there's any good sites that give basic information I would be very grateful for the addresses.
The amount of information I had to find out about different regulations when it comes to offices was astonishing! There was the obvious of how much room is needed for seats under desks but then there was the downright ridiculous of how far apart urinals had to be - never thought I would every need to know that information (or indeed there were regulations) but I'm now learning to expect the unexpected and just make sure I think everything through thoroughly.
I have now become a part-time worker of 4 days a week, not by choice, which I'm actually ok about - at least it gives me more time to do my course. Continuously positive thinking (mainly anyway).
In other news, Issue 2 of 91 Magazine is out now and can be viewed at www.91magazine.co.uk - it's a jolly good read and very pretty.
And now it's February - January seemed to disappear quite quickly in the end. February brings a little bit more sunshine, lighter mornings and a feel of a fresh beginning - spring's just round the corner :).
