step forward, step backward.

Well, it's been a frustrating week. I don't feel as if I've done that much - something I put down to sitting in front of a monitor until my eyeballs bleed, rather than being up and on my feet in a class. Most frustratingly, I've done hardly anything on the Dip, something which really bugs me. I'd like to have done more, but work stuff and a house full of ill people has put paid to that. Made some progress on the portfolio design, only to find it seems to be getting more and more complex and involved than I first thought.
