It will all just be intro stuff… or at least that’s what I thought.

This is my first blog post and unfortunately it is filled with regret and guilt after the first couple weeks of this course.

Being extremely excited about friends from home coming to visit I decided that it would be ‘no big deal’ for me to miss the first workshop and second lecture, or first ‘un-lecture,’ for Networked media. After attending week two’s workshop I soon realised that what I assumed would all be introduction to course and how the workshops would work was, in fact, filled with enormous amounts of knowledge that I will now never know to the extent of my peers.

This experience has now educated me to know how important attendance is and has driven me to create my first blog post sharing this experience.

In the scheme of things, this personal disaster that has left me feeling very behind in this course, is not that bad. With the help of other students’ blog posts I have been able to gain a general understanding of what I missed. But as I said before, I will now never have as greater understanding of the knowledge consumed in the time I missed form this course.

And that is something I will always regret.
