And so it begins.
While Uni actually started last week for me, this is my first actual piece of work I have done for Uni so far. Crazy isn’t it. The interesting thing is that many people do this in their free time for themselves, so this can harldy be called work, lol.
The main aspect of this blog is to pass my New Comm Tech course, but that dosen’t mean that we cannot have fun along the way now does it!
So I’ll get the boring part out of the way for you now. Bascially I have to say what I learn’t in New Comm Tech (now to be reffered to as NCT) each week. Well, I will start with my first lecture (which was actually last week, but meh, I’ll update you guys anyways).
I met Prof. Stephen Stockwell and he ran through the outline of the course and what we will be doing for the next 13 weeks. I was told about the assesments I will have to do and the structure of the course. The course itself seems pretty interesting, and as I said to a friend in the lecture, this hands down looks like it will be the best course I take in this 1st semester.
The assesments that I will have to do are actually not that bad, one being this very blog, updated every week. The other two being a 1000 word essay about one of the topics from the lectures and finally a 100 multiple choice exam in the last week.
Now, when I heard that the exam will be ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE (!!!!) I rejoyced as multiple choice (imo) is the easiest form of question to not only answer, but study for! Each week there will be a new topic to go through in the lecture and then in the Comp Lab, with week 1’s being simply an outline in the lecture, and then the creation of this blog in the Comp Lab.
After the lecture I was left to ponder why we have to write a blog for University, but soon decided to just go with it. So come Monday I showed up at my 1st Comp Lab interested to see what would go about and how much work this blog will be, and as it turns out it will be pretty simple to update each week. But I suppose the fact that I do know what I am doing when it comes to the internet can’t hurt.
In the Comp Lab I met my tutor, Jules Sholer who seems like a laid back, easy to get along with guy (flattery should get me some better marks *nudge*, lol). Well, thats basically it for the NCT part of the blog, the 1st week was pretty basic, but I suppose that is so that we are not overwhelmed with everything.
So, what else happened this week you ask, as I know you are all hanging on my every word now that I told you all about the wonderful world of Griffith!
Well, the final week of the NRL trials commenced with my team the Sydney Roosters playing an almost full strenght squad for their final hit out before the Rd. 1 match vs. rivals South Sydney. Fullback Anthony Minichiello and lock Braith Anasta made comebacks from injuries suffered last season, in Mino’s case he hadn’t played since May 2006, so to make his comeback was a very welcome occurance indeed.
I am happy to report that the outcome of the match was a win for the Roosters 30-22 over Parramatta and a very promising return for Mino and Anasta, bring on Round 1 (March 19).
So bascially that is my week, though I did forget to mention that I did go home almost everynight and play Xbox Live, other than Saturday night when I went out with my mates for a few (*many*) drinks. It was tip top. :)
