REFLECTION

Experience

It was tough. Honestly, seriously tough. As a person with alot of words and alot to talk about, it is quite odd that I cannot find much description to describe my experience this semester. The long hours, lack of social connections, lack of motivation truly made me question my abilities. 

Observation
At times only when we cross our threshold, can we find our strength. And I feel, if I am able to get through this semester, in context to the current situations of the world, I suppose it would be easier when faced with tougher situations. 

Findings

When first reading the MIB, I assumed this module would be somewhat similar to Advanced Typography and yet, though there are similarities, this module requires much much more critical and design thinking. We can no longer afford to behave or have the mindset of students. Our work ethics has to be at par to the professionals, and honestly, Mr. Vinod played a huge part in making sure we try to meet the standards.

I would like to extend much much gratitude to Mr. Vinod for being extremely patient with us despite all our screw ups. Mr. Vinod, you are awesome, inspiring, and role model for us students. Your self reflective nature is extremely inspiring and pushes me to do better myself. Thank you for giving us your knowledge, and my sincerest apologies for any disappointment or lack of output.
