Enter blog #17868634834!
Oh yes, ANOTHER little slice of the web with my name and photo plastered all over it, just what the world needs.!Well, the world can shut its' collective mouth, since this one is actually essential. Whereas I can happily never update on MySpace, LiveJournal, 1up, or HG, here I am required to update. It's homework! (I know the correct terminology would be 'an assignment', but let's face it. 'Homework' has more comedy potential.)
To be honest, it is a great idea. Keeping a log of your work is always a good idea. And, when that work is for a module entitled 'Creative Technologies', then it just makes sense to do it in the form of a blog. So, I shall just have to remember to update this thing after every lecture, after every workshop, and then also at seemingly random times in between.
First things first, I shall share my impressions of what turned out to be my first ever lecture at University. I have to say, things did not start out all that well. When 188 students try to cram into a lecture theatre that has seating for 150, then things are bound to go wrong. What was an expected 2-hour lecture turned into a 1-hour lecture, which was then repeated for the benefit of the 35 souls unlucky enough to not find room to sit. Happily, I got into the room early enough to be in the first group.
So, sitting through my first lecture was reason to be nervous. I pictured the lecturer to be some dry, old, and boring Professor. How wrong I was. What I got instead was a guy who seems ... interesting. And, when I got an assignment as broad in scope as "Set up a blog", I realised that I am exactly where I am supposed to be! If ever there was a medium that I was born to broadcast in, it is this one.
So, here we are. As things stand, I am on the verge of potentially the most exciting 3 years of my life. Now that the teething problems that my high-speed application and enrolment process caused are sorted out, and I am able to not only find my assignments but also retrieve my email and timetable, then I feel it is safe to say ...
BRING ON THE WORK!
