Throughout this project I suffered many issues in terms of time management and related personal issues. None of that is important. There were times where I failed to get done what needed to be done by certain deadlines and I am not satisfied with that. I had a wonderful, empathetic, and understanding team every step along the way and, on retrospection, I wish I’d reached out to them sooner, made better plans with them, and overall just done better by them. However, this does not mean that I did not try my damn hardest for this project. When I realised I was in the deep end, and when I felt guilty or shameful about not being there for my teammates – I made plans, I consistently communicated with my teammates, I came into uni many extra days out of the week, I pulled various all-nighters etc. This is of course is all evidence that I did not plan my time accordingly – BUT it is also evidence that I did not shrink in the face of challenge or difficulty. It is proof that I am driven and motivated despite personal circumstance and that I am committed to my promises and group agreements. I wish I had done better for this project and for my teammates but I think I can earnestly say I tried my hardest throughout this semester even if at times I came up short. And despite these difficulties, I still LOVED these pieces of coursework, I adored learning how to use blender, it made me feel motivated and smart and excited – I wanted to learn as much as I could. When I didn’t know shape keys – I learned shape keys. When I didn’t understand weight painting – I made myself understand weight painting. Needless to say, this coursework, module, and course has been a blast so far, and I cannot wait for next year!
