I remember in the last tutorial Lorna asked me 'what question do I want to ask myself?'. There are a lot. We were always told that MA applied imagination is a course helps you to ask a better question. I have been browsing through the notes I have taken during this year in class and one line really confirmed myself that I did the right choice was when Richard said : product design is about how can you design a better umbrella but MA applied imagination ask you how can we keep dry when it rains.
Throughout this MA journey we have had lots of 'Chicken soup for the soul'. It was like we had been given tons of Tedx life talk each Monday especially Tuesday. But the most significant change happened while I execute my project. As I kept reflect on my project and myself I start to aware what I am incapable of, what I am bad at, and how can I reach my expectation when there is a gap between my ability and the goal.
Additionally, I am glad that tried other disciplines and got out of my comfort zone. I have learnt that there are lots of possibilities in my career and there are lots of other things can make me happy other than design. Instead of specialized in one field, I'd rather be interdisciplinary.
Furthermore, I am being really brave during this whole time. I am always believed as a shy and introvert type of person. I had to push myself to go out to talk to strangers (for my case the target might be even extreme ) and ask people to do favor for me. I found out that I cared too much and it is unnecessary to do that. And there is nothing to be afraid of, just take the first step and everything would seems much easier.
Today is the last day before finally hand in. I know no matter what I write later than today would not be counted. But I already got the habit of reflecting on myself and access on my progress (the alarm at 11 pm everyday since April).
