Strain.

This, I fear, may prove to be a shorter blog than I am accustomed to writing.

There are, as we speak, nine days until my final pin-up of my years' work. Practically everyone is pulling all-nighters. For some reason, I am not. I can only assume it is because I started upping the ante immediately after Christmas, negating the need for them.

Nevertheless, the strain is starting to show. I've been working six-and-a-half hours flat out today, firstly on a 3D CAD model, now completed, secondly on starting a replacement for a piece of work the School lost, thirdly on trying to get 3D renderings. The last has eluded me, and reduced me to printing off wire-frame drawings, outlining the parts I want, hand-rendering with felt tip pens to get rid of lines I don't, and then scanning back in with a view to importing them into Photoshop as a JPEG to render them properly. A 'round the Wrekin' approach, as they say back home, but there simly isn't time to experiment and blunder on another way.

So one is now done, leaving another four to do.

Guess I had better get on with it.
