Somehow, this semester seems to have gone very fast but slowly at the same time. Seems ridiculous to say but thats how it has felt to me. Having almost completed the semester I can look back on what I have done and learnt over the past 12 weeks. I have completed numerous assignments, both individually and in groups, I have learnt how to used new equipment borrowed from the university, I have made video and audio recordings, and then edited that material.

Additionally, I have had to get use to the university style of learning which is very different from high school. This way of learning is much more independent as it is up to you how much we get out of it. If we don’t turn up to lectures or workshops, it’s on us to not fall behind. Being very self motivated myself, I haven’t found it too difficult to get use to this style of learning.

Finally, I have also become involved with RMITV. After submitting an application to be part of the crew for season 2 of The Leak, I have been asked to be a camera operator. I think this will be a great chance for me to improve my technical skills and to gain experience, as well as meet new people.

This semester has been a pretty good start to my university experience.
