My Week 1-8 June

Whilst in classes for Bachelor of Business at Torrens, realised I had ZERO interest in doing that course. Looked up Interior Design courses and discovered Torrens course and made decision to change course. What did I learn this week? That being creative is important to me. Learning about business is not! That if you press the button for 'future students' when calling Torrens, you get through to a human without waiting on hold for half the day! What obstacles did I face, how did I overcome them? Navigating the subject selection/ enrolment process solo (as public holiday Monday by the time my course confirmation came through). Couldn't add subjects without unenrolling from Business subjects but then couldn't unenrol from ALL my business subjects as system didn't like that either. Overcame this obstacle by looking up FAQs etc on enrolment and discovering the rules and secrets. Anxiety heading to a dinner and meeting. Sat in car and practiced some mindful breathing ...

About me

Age: 48 I live in a 100 year old house in Rosedale, Gippsland Victoria that I bought in 2020 and my first home purchase. I have called over 40 homes 'home' in my life. Moved frequently as a child and then repeated the cycle in adulthood moving my daughter and I almost yearly throughout her childhood. Education: Bachelor of Arts with majors in Peace Studies and Linguistics from UNE (2005) and completed my HSC in 1994, Springwood High (NSW). I also have qualifications in Mediation, Community Engagement, Event Management, Presenting and a raft of short admin courses. Work history: Have spent the last 15 years as an Executive Assistant in the State Government. Since 2019 I have tried to move into other roles in the government with no success. I completed courses, schmoozed, wrote amazing application letters, prepared for interviews and it just didn't seem to be happen. I found the rejections harder and harder, engaged career coaches, therapists, set goals etc e...

My week starting 16 June 2025

What did I learn this week, academically and personally? Design Elements and Principles. Particularly interested in the golden ratio/ fibonacci sequence and how this can be applied in interior design. Also the rule of thirds and dividing compositions into a 3x3 grid or in thirds and put key elements on those third lines to balance and bring focus to key areas. ie - not in the middle. Also enjoyed Intro to Design class about Trends, another area I'm keenly interested in. Design Drawing I learned a lot about scale and dimensions and measuring up and how to format a drawing page. Again I learnt that I need to slow down and be neater! Graphic Comms - * A lot of time spent on assessment 1 for Graphic Communication, the drawing and tracing of Rose Seidler House. Last week I wasted a lot of time driving to Traralgon and back (45 mins round trip) to use the printers and copiers at Officeworks. On Monday it occurred to me that the library literally out the back of my house may ...
