No Rest for the Wicked

So a few days into week 3 of Portfolio school and a few general rules of thumb I can definitely say that I have learn. First of all the line "I work better under pressure" is more or less bullshit. Now some of you may be saying no no honestly it makes me work harder, I was one of these people but the truth of the matter is you feel like your working harder because your under the gun. Lets be honest most anyone can produce much better work when given more time than someone who is trying to do it "under the gun" barring a few miracles. That being said sometimes even with proper planning there is just to much work to be done to allow too long for any singular project or task you may have; this is where the skill of working under pressure transitions into an art form. An art form which I am slowly starting to master. The workload at school is beginning to get heavier as the weeks go on and I welcome the challenge, this project schedule really forces all of us to produce our best work in much less time then we may be given in a real world situation. The benefit of this is the fact that we can be more efficient when in these real world situations, and also in the occasion that work is thrown at us last minute we will be prepared for anything that comes our way, which why to me the workload is something I am going after head on....

On another note the thought of construction an idea or developing a concept is something that has been brought up quite often. Different proffesors have offered the own unique opinions on the subject but all in all the general thought process in a whole is becoming more clear to me by the day, making my assignments and the general direction in which I go on them reveal themselves quicker and quicker. Being only 3 weeks into the program this is the biggest change I have seen so far as far as my develop mental skill set goes.

Oh and Patriot fans... don't think I was going to let you off the hook. Yes Yes I know my New York Giants were out of the playoffs before they began and that is a whole different story for a later time. BUT it gives me great joy and satisfaction to see the most passively arrogant team in the NFL get there asses handed to them for the 2nd season in a row in front an equally arrogant Gillette Stadium crowd. As I had said all year the Patriots lack the 2 key elements it takes to win and sustain a long run in the playoffs; a run game and a strong dominate defense. It was only a matter of time before they faced a team that could keep the ball out of Tom Brady's hands with a strong ground game and minimize what the Patriots could do on offense with a brilliant hard-nose defensive presence. I would like to officially welcome all New England Fans to the " Theres Always Next Year Club."

Thats all I got for today...
