Actions
I spent most of today getting my blog caught up with my note diary. This involved turning the short notes of what I had done each day into blog posts outlining my actions, my thoughts on what I had achieved and my plans for what needs to be done next.
During the digital class I also made a short time plan describing possible activities I can do during digital lessons.
Finally, during study skills I had a look at the criteria for the final major project and what is required to achieve a Pass/Merit/Distinction.

Thoughts
I am extremely pleased with the first stage of the blog. It is very helpful to go back through what I have done and evaluate it more carefully slightly after I did the work. Doing it while it is still fresh in my mind (ie within a few days) but it has been long enough that I am not biased by having just completed that step helps me to be more critical with what I have achieved so far.
The digital time plan should be extremely useful to prevent me wasting my time within the digital classes. It is very easy to arrive to a class without knowing what can be done within that environment. This leads to large amounts of wasted time while trying to find something productive to do. Hopefully the digital time plan should help to prevent this.
Reading through and discussing the criteria for the final major project was very useful as it has provided me with a much clearer idea of what areas I need to focus on to ensure I cover every area as thoroughly as possible.

Future Plans
I need to finish sketching out ideas for the storyboard and begin designing my characters. I also still need to choose a medium for the animation.
