Hello 2nd Year!

As it's the beginning of the year, I'm going to set myself some goals from what I want to gain this year and where'd I actually like to end up in terms of what I'm doing!

I feel as though I need to focus this year on my studies, and the possibility of hopefully gaining a placement will additionally help me gain a bit of insight and experience into the industry, although I will have to be careful if the opportunity arises that I balance my workload with placement work so I don't get behind!

In terms of education, the summer will mark the end of my Foundation Degree and I'd really like to continue my studies to top it up to a full degree, as I don't think I'll be ready for industry yet and the Creative Industries top-up course at Newcastle College is all about getting you ready for industry, so that is definitely something I'd consider applying for. This also means I'll have to apply through UCAS again and therefore do a personal statement! 

I'd also like to try and stay as organised as possible this year, by creating time plans at the beginning of each brief in order to make the most of the time I have on each project. I'll also carry out a SWOT analysis on each and possibly targets to set myself in order for progression.
