REFLECTION

This module has really pushed me to get familiar with Adobe Indesign as almost all of the tasks were done in this software. I really feel like I am starting to get used to it now although it has been a lot of pain trying to see the guides through a broken LCD with a maximum of 45 degree titled screen. This problem really did affect how I have been performing this semester, other than it made me work slower than others, it also hurt my eyes in every way possible. However, the fact that I can still complete my work by the given deadline with this condition make me realize that if I can work like this, I can overcome any obstacles in the future. Well at least I believe so hahahah.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Vinod had seen so many red flags from my e-portofolio through out the weeks due to my poor time management skill but the truth is I want to be able to provide my best and show a completed work to him at least once. I am always grateful to have him as a lecturer although he can be scary at times. His words are very straight to the point, unfiltered, but somehow that is exactly what I need. I will not be where I am right now if he didn't push me from the beginning so all I can say is everyone needs a lecturer like him in order to grow and achieve better. I cannot believe that he has been guiding me through for 3 semesters in a row, it is crazy how fast the time has passes. I have learnt so much from him and I wish one day I can make him proud.  Thank you Mr. Vinod for the past year of learning and drowning, I am looking forward to see you in the next semester. I promise to come back stronger with a repaired laptop and better time management by then!
