Assignment progress, university meetings (some pointless), ridiculous advertisements...

Was rather proud today! I had a productive day! I woke up at 9am, tweeted from my bed for a while before getting ready for the day ahead! I enjoy talking to those on twitter. I am fortunate to have a good bunch of followers to converse with. I decided to get started with my assignment at 10.45am, a nice round interval on the quarter of the clock, but after viewing at 10:46am, this was put back to 11am. It would be odd to start on such a number, although deep down looking back, it was just an excuse to have 15 mins to readjust myself and round off some pleasant tweet conversations. So I started. And made progress. Although it was only slight progress, I feel more confident with my capability to now proceed in typing up. I have a good plan and structure in my head. So this can now wait for another time.

I travelled into university this afternoon for two meetings. The first was constructive. My dissertation supervisor discussed with me topics for my dissertation, Urban Logistics within the Manchester region. It seems more capable and achievable now after speaking to him. He puts things in a different perspective, showing many different alternatives. The second meeting on the contrary was ridiculous. Basically my group (the idea of the project is that you don't pick your peer group members), are lazy. It annoys me so much as I always like to maximise my potential. We met with our tutor and got constructive feed back but the personality mix poses many clashes. Lazyness. Effortless. Segregation. All detrimental combinations.

I also saw a ridiculous advertisement as shown in my picture. In some ways it disappoints me. It was an advertisement by GM Police saying how they intend to respond efficiently to residential concerns. This is something which I expect, and not would like to be told. It makes me think that they actually realise they aren't doing this and have only just realise, now, they have to. I find it rather obnoxious how they then play on this inefficiency to boost their media presence. Typifies Britain today.
