Dear diary,

This whole semester feels like this piece of sweet. It's not from the UK, it's foreign, Chinese to be more specific. However, it's not new to meI'veve besurroundedund by tech and the evolution of tech because of my dad's job, just like how I've had this sweet multiple times in my life. The design is comforting and familiar, but getting the actual sweet comes with rice paper, creating layers. Just like this module, I thought it was going to be an explosion of AII, and I was going to not enjoy it or find it boring. Similarly to how some people feel about the same packaging of different-flavored red sweets. But this module has layers that are never the same, it's got some many different pathways and is so vast, just like the layers. So yes, technological techniques and software may not be completely new. om,e haven't been able to test them all out.

I feel like this module excites me, but also scares me; it's like a firework from a dodgy store. It might work and be beautiful, or it might not ignite and keep you in suspense. The creativity aspect of it is a firework in the sky, but the unknowing part of which direction to take is the lead-up part.

I feel like it's hard to grasp which direction I'm going for I feel like a pile of water, and I need guidance like a container box. It's just a big mess in my head.

The shortcut workshop was hard to follow; it made me lose interest. It wasn't engaging to me. However, the 3d workshop was much easier to follow, especially cause each step was repeated multiple times, which benefited me greatly. Used jit, it's more tedious than I thought it would be tbh. I lowkey feel like an imposter.

1st time uNotionotion, feeling overwhelmed with a lot of tasks to complete and sidebar functions to explore. I have been able to add a template and customise it slightly. I find the interface clean, but I still feel engulfed by the website.

Not very confident about what the document is questioning, what am I doing,, and am I focusing on one issue too harshly.
