What happened?

I woke up this morning and i realised i hadn't made any progress on my PDP. I won't go into details about why on here as my private life is just that. I will just say that there have been alot of things happening which has made me maybe lose sight of what is most important.

I guess now would be a good time to do a swot analysis.

Strengths - Practical media skills (Eg. Camera work, editing, directing, lighting, sound recording, etc)

Weaknesses - Low attention span. When i get given new work to do i unfortunately seem to forget the work i was already set. Well, it's not that i totally forget, more that i just don't remember at times when it would be useful. I tend to remember work i have got to do in the middle of the night, when i cannot do anything about it. I make notes that i forget to look at and always tell myself "i'll get right to that in the morning" But i never do.

Opportunities - Right now i am lucky that i am noticing these problems in my second term of my first year. This means i still have one term to sort myself out without having to panic about my final grade.

Techniques - I figure i need constant reminding about work that has to be done, therefore i have downloaded a new widget for my iMac to give me reminders about upcoming deadlines and reminders about work i should be doing every time i turn on my computer. Hopefully this won't become too annoying as time goes on.

As this is a media blog i think it would be apropriate to list all the films/dvds/tv shows i have watched during the last 2 terms of uni. (that i remember)

I've also read the 4 "Dexter" books by Jeff Lindsey.
