It is hard to believe in less than a month first term will be but a memory. Many of our assignments focus on group projects and as a result this past week involved a lot of tea and coffee consumption at a slew of planning meetings. I have four group projects in various stages of progress. This certainly does shine the light on the skills of collaboration. With time at a premium and delivery deadlines looming, there is no time to be precious about one's own desires and agendas. Quality and efficiency are the name of the game. Not everyone is going to agree all the time but with every meeting we learn how to resolve issues fast and keep our focus on the goal. These are, of course, excellent skills to develop for anyone going into the fast paced, high stakes world of showbiz.
In other news, I am still short a computer. A part was ordered and I hope to see her home in the coming week. The challenge is working primarily off of my phone. I am writing this blog entry on my phone. It's amazing if you think about what we can do with these little devices. However, there are still many limitations and I am looking forward to using a laptop again.
The world news this weekend has been a major concern for us here in London. One of my hallmates is from Beirut, Lebanon and our proximity to Paris makes these tragedies very real and personal to us. Our hearts go out to the victims and their loved ones. The best we can do is keep living our lives and pursue the education and liberties we have available to us.
Until next week...
And in the meantime, make sure you tell those you care about how much they mean to you.
Take care.
