The unity task this week started out in quite a bad way, I accidentally update unity and when I opened it up there were a few things missing and a few things I wasn't used to. Nevertheless I pressed on and quickly got back to the version I was using for everything else I do in unity.
The process of doing this unity task went the same way any good story does, the dashing hero overcomes the problem in the end. I started out with the whole update thing but upon solving that issue I was met with yet another. I couldn't get any textures to work and even when they aren't really needed I still like to have them just to make things look better and more distinguished so I can think clearly. I eventually figured out the problem and sorted it out and went step by step through the tutorial. One or two issues here or there but I fixed them after a little deliberation.
I admit I missed a couple unity tutorials over the weeks but if you told me in october that I would be as competent with unity as I am now I would have been surprised because it was a very daunting piece of software to begin with and there is still a lot to learn but I am reasonable happy with my progress over the last few months and am excited to see where I can go from here.

week 12 reading
I am currently most of the way through the writing process and I am glad because it's not something I specialise in and not really what I had in mind for this course but this is still a skill to have in the toolbox as academic writing is something that may be useful in the future.
The main thing I have learned in this is that the main thing to keep in mind when it comes to academic writing is that one should always read a significant amount more than they write as almost everything needs to be sourced and documented. This is not something I feel I do well with as I tend to get a bit carried away when writing and as a person who can type fast I tend to get into a rhythm with it and the words flow much simpler as I go on. However with academic writing I need to go sentence by sentence and know exactly what it is that I am talking about because it needs a source. I don't like it but it's the world I live in.
The main issue I had is as above, the sourcing of all the things I say. I tend to write in the first person a lot and use a lot of I think and I feel etc. But alas, language like that has no place in that type of writing and it leads to me not really being in the same zone I can be in when writing things that I am more used to writing. I am constantly worried about messing up the referencing section and it just doesn't allow me to be as comfortable writing as I normally am.
