December Update 2

Editing for Media has finished and I am now on the evaluation. I must work on some of my evaluation through the Christmas holidays. The filming and editing came together nicely in the end, and I can see that doing well enough to receive 80 marks overall with my research, planning and evaluation.

I've handed in the second draft of my first essay and the first draft of my second essay. I don't know what band I will get, but am hoping for a Band 4 in my first essay and a Band 3 in my second. I'll get them back after the holidays.

I've finished my first animation and am still doing well in Unit 14. I can see little changes coming to this and will probably end up with a Merit overall. I start my second animation when I get back, and can see an improvement on that one from my experience so far.

My unauthorised absences are getting worse for Tutor, as I turn up late most days. My lessons are still doing well, however. I've turned up for every lesson so far, bar a few late turn ups.

December Update 1

I've finished filming and am now on to the editing of my Media project. The filming didn't do as well as I had hoped, but with some good editing and a good evaluation, I can still achieve 80 marks total. My partner is good at editing and I'm helping him along with it.

I've started my second essay and my first is still on a Band 3. I haven't done very much with my second essay, but with the improvements made on my first essay I can see that reaching Band 4 easily after my second draft is handed in for Christmas.

Unit 14 in IT is coming together nicely. I'm happy with my first animation and have been reaching Merit so far. Again, I will have to keep doing as I'm doing to receive a Merit overall in this Unit.

I still have no unauthorised absences in any lessons. I've been marked down as not being absent, but I have turned up at the right time for every lesson, and so that must be the teachers' doing. I'll have to speak to them about this.
