Audit

To be fair I feel as though I am still improving as the weeks go by and feeling more confident with my software skills and idea generation. Evan If I don’t know how to do something I will ask Alex or “Google” it to find the way. Though my attendance is still an issue I believe I have been making more effort and the results show. I am always stuck in the dilemma whenever something comes up and I am unable to attend I lose sight of what I should be doing, better yet, where I should be and since missing classes means missing vital information and help that will help me excel. My planning has improved and this has helped me to get started on my work easier, for example, making a task list for the things I need to get done like on the Christmas break. However I’m still trying to continue to improve my punctuality and meet deadlines set, so hopefully this time I will be ready to submit on time.

I have had more of a look at universities and top-up degrees and I am actually finding some very interesting ones but I must make sure I am excelling in my work to ensure I have no holdbacks for when I apply. Even though I am still living at home, my plans for my final year are to move out, closer to the area of study.

I have also started looking at work experience opportunities for summer this year. Last year I was very lucky to have the chance to work in London with Nokia. This opportunity arose as a relative of mine works as the senior researcher in one of the departments and was able to put in a good word for me and get me two weeks working with the mobile phone services team where I was to create my own web app for the series 40 phone. I also has the opportunity after to work with a small UI and UX design company in London that specialise in creating iPhone and IPad applications.

These industries and work will be great for my CV and I am now currently looking for similar experience for this year to help improve my portfolio and experience. However I may not have the chance to work in London again, but I am looking for places around Manchester and Huddersfield this time.
