Your Gaze Completes Me

Starting Blog post at the second semester -a.k.a. the last one-.

This Blog will serve as a documentation of the Thesis making process.

So far (by Feb 4, 2025) not much has been done except for research, planning, idea-collecting, and 2-5% pre-draft prototyping. (According to schedule, I should be on 15%, uh-oh.) So as I've known and also have heard many times, in both the past and the present, this will fly through. So I wanted to document as well as I can.

So. I will attempt to drop everything here and log the process of the Thesis development.

Starting with: My first few decks.

The first Thesis Progress Deck, which I updated throughout the first semester of Thesis Prepping.

And the Lightning Presentation for the full cohort at the end of the first semester. I had a glass cup while presenting, because I got nervous and forgot to leave it at my seat.

And the first class of the second semester -current semester to the year I am writing this- where I shared about my mindset change over the winter break as I crashed pretty badly after the first semester of the second year. It was the most intense, as I fell very sick when I visited Korea to see my parents.

So many decks..! And finally, the one where I am live-updating my progress, plans, throughts, protypes, phases and all. Downloaded the version so that I can keep track of how this document evolves as well. Would be fun to see all of this in the future.

Additionally I also have the Notion Page where I am keeping myself more accountable.

This is the timeline I am trying to keep up to this semester:

And the intended Interaction Diagram:

All these info are found on the decks.

Alrighty, then here is to a fortunate last semester at ITP. (Hopefully not, as I plan to come back as a Resident.)
