So this is it, I guess. A relatively pain-free beginning to a brand-spanking-new part of my life. There were a few sheepish exchanges in the hallway as people double-double-checked that they were, in fact, in building 9. It was almost a little overwhelming; but just like that, the workshop and my media degree had begun.

After playing the usual get-to-know-you games (which is something I love, and honestly a real pull point to begin a degree, or anything for that matter), Jasmine introduced our first assessment, conveniently worth a whopping 0%, just to ease us in. Immediately the ideas were flying, and these aren’t profound ideas by any means but they’re a start.

I guess it was just refreshing to know that my brain still knows how to work, beyond taking someone’s coffee order.

Through the use of this blog, we’ve been given a tool to document our learning process throughout our degree. Personally, I am so glad for the opportunity to write. To write about the creative process, about our constraints and influences, about the flaws we notice in our work, about our interaction with the course.

Just glad to flex those keyboard tapping muscles because it feels as if it’s been a long time since they’ve been put to proper use.
