So, now I am done with the three first weeks of school, and while I learned a lot a few problems did occur on the way. I got new computer not that long ago, as an upgrade from my old macbook was needed. The problem with my new computer I realised very quickly was that it would randomly restart, making it so that I sometimes lost my progress and was just something that was very annoying. I tried first fixing it myself, by checking forums online, but nothing worked. So in the end I had too send it back, and work on my old macbook until I got it back.

During the final part of week three, we had our first proper assignment. We were going to draw a stove from three different views, and then deliver it at the end of the week. As I now only had my old macbook, which had problems running AutoCAD, I had too try optimising the computer and program. After a look at a few forums, the program seemed too run fine. One little thing was that the layout on the mac, was completely different from that on the windows, so that took a while getting used too, so I had to relearn the program. But after all that, I could finally start the assignment, well I thought. Everything worked perfectly up until the moment I started using commands, like extrude, then my mac would freeze up and the program would crash. So after a lot of going back and forth, I just couldn't get through the assignment.

I do really want my mac too be able to run the program I need, in case I get problems with my computer in the future. But it is a learning experience, and now I know that I should always have a backup plan if things like this happens again.

Hi, so this will be my first reflective journal on the progress I have made in the course.
This week was the start up week, where the other students and I had as an assignment to get familiar with our learning page and programs that we will use during the course.

Now the week started off the way I had intended, but that changed rather quickly. I had ordered a knew computer, as my old one could not support any of the programs I needed for the course. The computer was suppose to arrive a week before school even started, but was delayed. So when I got it, I immediately started setting it up. Now, I have rather horrible internet in my apartment, so downloading all the programs I needed was a slow and tedious affair. But by Thursday that same week, I had everything up and running. So enough of the problems, let's talk about my first week.

Hi, my name is Malena, I'm 21 years old and living in Trondheim.

I'm currently studying Technical Design with CAD 2D/3D at Noroff online. I have always had a huge interest in Architecture, Design, and Illustration. So, the course I am studying now, kinda tackles all these avenues, which I am really excited about.

This blog will be my personal journal, where I will write about my progress in the course.
