26th November

Today I had textworks. We had another live lecture, which I quite liked, but it meant our discussion was shorter. I found the topic really interesting. I didn't know nation branding was a thing. The discussion was good, too, as quite a few people joined in this time.

I then did some ambassador work. I like doing ambassador work, but it's started getting in the way recently. I think I am going to take a break for a couple of weeks to make sure I meet my deadline. I can stop easily. We can sign up to as much or as little work as we want and I don't really need the money. It's not like I am going on lots of nights out at the moment!!!!

In the afternoon we had a seminar. We were in a bigger group compared to normal which I liked a lot. It meant we had a better discussion. We then chatted about the looming dissertation. It turns out it is only 6000 words, not 10000. I am very relieved by this. In year 13 I did a 5000-word essay with very little help so I think that will be ok. 

I then experimented with the best way to create the model of my neon star installation. My first attempts collapsed. I then tried making a 6 point star made of triangles instead of a 5 point star and that stayed up. I really enjoyed the process of trial and error.
