Finally, the big 30! Dirty thirty. Halfway to 60. Now that’s crazy. To me, writing blogs have never been a chore. I love doing them. Maybe my content isn’t exactly amazing, but I feel like I’m using this more as a general university life journal rather than a Media specific journal… but maybe that’s what it […]
Read more "blog #30: dirty thirty"8 weeks into my first year of life at RMIT University and it’s safe to say that I am 100%, completely, without a doubt… drained!

My Yiayia, grandma in Greek, suffered through the loss of her parents due to war and unfortunate circumstances, was forced […]
Read more "blog #23: lost in translation"Today’s tutorial was all about sound, noise and coverage. We discussed the 3 main types of sounds which included music, speech and sounds (as well as, unintentional noise). We also spoke about reverb which is created by multiple reflections naturally. For example, if you’re in a church or cathedral, the reverb can be 15 seconds […]
Read more "blog #22: hearing aid"Having absolutely no experience with cameras and recording, Elise, Steph, Gianna and I had a little information and planning session for Brief 3 where Elise also taught us how to function the Sony MC50 camera.
