Week 3

Its week 3 and I feel like O week was yesterday, time flies in uni. The further I get in to the semester the more the work load seems to multiply. In networked media production this week I was told that I have until week 7 to make my own website, I felt like puking the very moment michael said it. But the more the lecture went on the less sick I felt and the more pumped I was to show the world what I could make with html and css. I want to create a page that shows the amazing memories and life long friends that I made during my exchange to Exeter, PA in The USA. I want it to be used and seen as a thank you page to The Rotary Youth Exchange Program. I also want it to be shown as an example of an exchange that they can show any one that is interested in becoming an Exchange student.

My first couple weeks

In the first lecture I was told that I was going to have to do a blog for my Multi Media Production class. The first thing that came to mind when Michael Honey my lecturer said blog was eharmony. Like eharmony I thought the only people who blogged were single desperate old people. Apparently all ages do it and you don’t just write about what you had for dinner or tell the world that you like long walks on the beach, you can share your opinions and discuss view points to the rest of the world.

My first 2 weeks at Canberra university have gone by quicker than you can say http://yamasakitatsuya.blogspot.com/. Im my first lecture I was shown the course outline and how the internet works by the representation of ants. I’m not that much of a tech wizz so Michaels interpretation of the internet through ants helped me out a lot. I was also told that the internet has many faults and that it was thought of well before 1991 by a man named Vannevar Bush in 1945.

I have just finished my first full week at University. In week I was informed of how the internet was affecting other industries, different ways that plagiarism can be stopped and different types of blogs. The course gets pretty into the technical side of things and when I first entered the class it felt a little intimidating with words such as band width and disintermediation thrown at you but if Michael keeps describing things as clearly as he does I think I will be alright.
