Random Pictures.

I chose this picture to describe university life. It's basically uni kids walking out of uni while carrying books and bags. That's pretty much what you do in uni.
Nothing says more about summer than the sun, the beach, the surf and the sand!
Unconventional? Yeah, I think so.

I chose a picture of a newspaper article from the Sydney Morning Herald because the newspaper is all about the news. It was the first way in which people could read about the news, before the television and internet. Although there are newer ways of getting the news, the newspaper is still here to stay.
The robot picture is for the "High-tech" theme. Whenever I think about the future, I'll think about how it will be run by robots and machines. This particular robot can actually do things that humans are capable of doing so it's pretty hightech!
The above picture is for the theme "Friends". It is actually a picture that my friend sent me online and it was a during a picnic they had a few weeks ago. I chose it because they are my friends and the picture looks friendly!

the internet was down so i'll do this task another time.

it's how we do it.

MSN Messenger is who I am. I realised that I can't operate without it.
That's how I've been keeping contact with my friends.

I've been travelling a lot since I was young moving from state to state, country to country so MSN is the cheapest way of communicating with my friends. We chat almost everyday and we update each other on the smallest things that might not mean anything to anyone. That's how we keep the relationship going even though we're miles a apart. Chatting about a simple thing like a haircut just makes it feel like we still live close by.

Sometimes there's that thing called a time difference. Sometimes I've got to go to bed and they're awake and vice versa so we keep each other updated with a blog. My friends have been blogging since 5 years ago and that's also a way to keep in touch when we've not chatted for a long time or we feel like we have to blog about it so that we can get the point across better.

I love Skype. I'ts like being able to talk on the phone for hours and hours and hours and not have to pay for it. Great eh. That's how I keep in touch with my family usually and it can also hold video calls which is awesome. If we're too lazy to chat, my friends and I will usually just Skype the whole night till 5am or somewhere around there.

Myspace and Friendster are great websites to know friend who know friends and you be creative coz you can design how the world view you.

Alright that's it for now. =)

oh yeah and it's my birthday today. woohoo.

the one where you introduce yourself.

So this will be the 4th time I've started a blog over the last 6 years. I think this is my third blogger one. Prior to this blogging was just a casual thing where I'll write whatever I want and it's usually about what happened in my life or my thoughts on specific issues and stuff that interests me.

This one is a different kind of blog because it's for Uni. I really didn't expect to be learning about blogging in Uni because I've learned about it 6 years ago but it was explained by the tutor just now so I'll just go along with it.

I did a year of Foundation Studies last year in Sydney and now I'm in Griffith Uni in Gold Coast. Why did I move from Sydney to Gold Coast? Simply because my parents bought a house here and I'm supposed to take care of it. Uni's been great and my subjects are pretty fun.

I'm turning 19 exactly next week which means I'm a Pisces. Music is my ultimate passion and I listen to every genre and I like them all the same. It ranges from indie to rock to r&b to jazz to dance music. I've just learned to like dance music last year actually because most of the clubs you go in Australia play dance music and so I'm pretty used to it now.

I'm doing a Bachelor of Communications and I hope to major in Communication and Media Studies and Marketing. I actually wanted to do a degree in business and major in Accounting or something like that but after I worked for a month as a Trainee for this Accounting and finance department, there was no way I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life. Oh yeah, and I don't like math as well so that explains why I'm not doing Accounting and Finance. Although Marketing is actually a business subject, it doesn't actually require a lot of mathematical knowledge as it's a pretty creative subject so that's why I'm doing it.

I've always been interested in the media. I think it's funny how people are so very easily influenced by the media and that includes me. These influences range from body image, music and other trivial things that we might not even think about. I actually wanna work in the media so that I can influence how people think and change the world. Yes, change the world.

I'm doing 3 subjects for this semester. One of them is a 20 Credit Point subject. The subjects are New Communications Tech, Marketing and Creative Arts Practice. All 3 of them are really interesting subjects and the lecturers and tutors are great.

This blogging task is actually for New Commn Tech and it's a prerequisite for my major next year. We'll be covering Photoshop in this course too and that'll be fun. They will also be screening heaps of movies that are really interesting and out of the ordinary like La Jetee that we saw today. The whole concept of using pictures to make a movie is really refreshing and the plot was intriguing as well.

In Marketing, we have heaps of projects to do which I think is great because it's practical and we'll learn a lot. There's this project coming up where we have to try and market Westfield Shopping Centre to the growing number of foreign people in Australia.

Lastly, in Creative Arts Prac, we learn about 3 different creative arts areas. They are Writing, Theatre and Contemporary Art. It's a really creative and fun subject because it challenges you to be creative and yet practical.

I think that's enough introduction for today.

'till the next tutorial.
