Studio Development...

We have these wonderful days timetabled into our week known as "studio development". Basically these are *whisper* "days off" when we are meant to carry on with the work and briefs that we have at the time. I however am finding these days increasingly difficult to make productive due to their lazy nature. It is very tempting to remain in my pyjamas all day long and do nothing but drink tea for hours on end. Today however (Wednesday, therefore Studio development) I have managed to get and actually do some work. I am ignoring the fact that later I intend on spending some time in Topshop as it is 20% off for students this evening, and believing that this day is actually very productive.

**have just returned to the computer with a nice cup of tea - See i said tea was a distraction!**

And Jaffa Cakes. I wonder if evreyone likes Jaffa Cakes? I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like them. There are those people who eat them in a weird way; by this I mean picking off all the chocolate first, then removing the orange center as one whole piece, eating the cakes part and then the orange part. I personally don't do this, I'm not really one for playing with my food. But I have seen it done before and can say that it looks no more satisfying than eating a Jaffa Cake in the conventional way i.e. biting it!

I would however like to find out just how many people in the UK don't like Jaffa Cakes, not really a survey I could pull off on my own, but maybe I could write to National Statistics office and ask them to do it for me....do they do that? Thinking about it I'm guessing not...never mind.

I suppose I should really get on with some work now...I have been trying to think of the 'Top 10 things I've learnt since starting the course" for ages now. I'm not saying I haven't learnt anything, there are just so many new things that it is hard to pin point things in particular. I've done my Personal, Professional Development preparation. We had to find 5 pieces of work by other designers: a piece I like, a photograph, an illustration, a piece of typography, and a piece of packaging. At this point I have no idea what we are meant to be doing with them...guess I'll find out later this week!
