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! I feel my motivation levels slipping before my eyes, and my drive to complete homework and smash out assignments is completely gone. I feel myself shifting into the habit of […]
Read more "blog #29: all aboard the drain train"Today’s lecture really threw me for a loop, I understood quite little of everything that was discussed… and having a look over Brief 4, I can only add to that confusion. The use of stringent media terms made today’s lecture turn into one big blur. I tried my hardest to understand the key concepts discussed, […]
Read more "blog #25: confucius say"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.

My friends from Adelaide have flown to Melbourne to visit me for the weekend and I have to make the trip with them to drop them off at the airport. Their plane leaves at 1520 hours (like my aviation lingo?), with their […]
Read more "blog #16: FOMO"It’s hard to think that in the not to distant past, there was no such thing as the Internet. Computers, mobile phones, tablets – everything these days is just another platform to get in touch with people via the world wide web. Today, however, the Internet and I had a hiccup in our long and […]
Read more "blog #15: pain in my web"Today’s tutorial was purely focused on our Brief 1, our self-portraits. Today we spoke on each individual table talking about our own media artefacts. We were asked to put on 1 of 4 different hats as we passed judgement, criticism and positivity on everyone’s work. The hat feedback system, as founded by De Bono, is […]
