I can finally say I've completed module 1. All assignments were submitted yesterday and I spent the rest of the evening catching up on some much needed trash television (namely Made in Chelsea and 4 Weddings US). Acknowledgement of my submissions was emailed this afternoon and I should expect results in around 2 weeks - maybe that's why I don't feel as relieved as I thought I would!
In other news, the first edition of 91 Magazine has been launched. It looks a-maz-ing!! Done to such a professional quality that my article looks better than I could ever have imagined and I would love to keep contributing. You can view the launch issue at http://www.91magazine.co.uk/.
So, with module 2 next on my agenda, I'm sure you await with baited breath (as do I) as to what I'm going to be learning next about Interior Design. I'm also going to be teaching myself a lot more about how to blog differently, so comments would be much appreciated about any upcoming changes.

2 October 2011
It's all go, go, go...
It's official - my life has been taken over! The countdown clock is ticking down to when the assignments for my first module need to be handed in (currently at 26 days...) and boy is it ticking down fast. Who knew producing 7 presentation boards and a report on an Interior Designer could take so long!
I am a quarter of the way through A History of Interior Design by John Pile and have half a notebook full of notes (I think I may be writing too much)! Am I going to use all this information realistically? Do I need to know about Aztec Interior Design? Ok maybe I do, but really, so much information to take in.
On top of this I'm also learning how to reference properly - having never done this before, it's been a struggle. All the images for my presentation boards are from the internet in one way or another - do you know how hard it's been trying to find out who the author of these images is? Or even when they were published? I plead with you to make this information more accessible on your websites...please?!?
One of the things with distance learning is never being able to compare your work - how do I know if I'm up to par with everyone else? Do I need to be? Hopefully all these fears will be gone once I've received the marks for my first module but until then, panic, panic, panic.
I've also contributed an article (my very first, ever, I might add) to a new online magazine that's launching in October called 91 Magazine (91magazine.co.uk/#). It's published by Patchwork Harmony and promises to be amazing...if it's anything like their blog and shop I think it's already guaranteed.
I think I best be off - I can't stop the clock from ticking, I have no powers in that respect, so 4 presentation boards down and 3 to go (oh and that report on an Interior Designer, damn, musn't keep forgetting that) my creativity levels are struggling but Powerpoint awaits!
