What a fantastic day. Went on a course today called ‘Communicating Design’ and it’s emphasis was on how we as engineers could basically better communicate our designs to each other, architects, clients, everybody. It’s the first workshop I’ve been on like this in a good long while. The great thing about it is that I was able to actually get a lot of drawing done and that freedom was astounding. I absolutely relished the opportunity to actually draw freely during my peak productivity time.

Let me elaborate on that. I’m a morning person. During the brighter months of the year I’ll get around 5 hours of sleep and the rest of the day I’ll be active as I can, to get as much done in the day as possible. My best hours as a morning person, is the morning. I know I’m being profound today. Unfortunately I don’t get that chance during the day because I’m at work, and so I’ve really had to try and change my style in the last few years to accomodate for my passions in the morning and in the evening.

It was such a laid back course and ultimately I had a lot of fun on it. It’s rare for me to actually say that, but honestly I really did enjoy it. What was great I guess was being away from the computer for a day, talking with people I haven’t seen in a while, and new people I met. And I guess being away from my desk did me an absolute world of good as well.
