This is pretty much the last week of teaching, lectures, tutorials, and, meeting people. As the clock reaches the last few minutes, students would line up around the classroom door to leave, and awkwardly looking at each other thinking of what to say as we all know we might not be seeing each other again next semester, particularly for school electives.

Personally, I would just smile and thank the tutor and carry on with my own way. If I do engaged with a conversation with a fellow course mate, would probably break into a conversation on how time passed so fast, and how the first semester of uni just flew by. When you’re actually in action while the semester is going on, you tend to wonder why does time pass so slowly and you can’t wait for the next break to happen so that you can enjoy your freedom, but when the last day of classes comes, you’ll think back and wonder where did all the time go and what have you managed to achieve over the period of the past few months.

I never felt more on top of the ball in this week’s lectorial, and for once I felt like I understood everything that the lecturer was saying. Only because, it was regarding the various studios that we will be attending next semester, and not something regarding media affordances with big words, theories, concepts and academic references. Don’t get me wrong, I try to understand and grasp the knowledge the lecturers are trying to convey to us during these weekly lectorials, but some times I find it a struggle to even just understand these theories and applying it into real life. I do question myself if I’ll ever apply this knowledge to my future job scope. Anyway, I digress, this week’s lectorial’s main focus was on the balloting and an extended announcement on attending a studio pitch that will be held on the 9th of June. I still have no clue what studios that I’ll be interested in, but I guess that studio pitching session should help ease my decision making when I come to it.

Come Wednesday, my weekly Media 1 workshop went on for the last time this semester. Our tutor was sweet enough to give out little bite sized candies like Maltesers and Sneakers. Just little gestures like this makes us, the students, feel like we actually matter and not just a body of people you come in to meet day in and day out. I would like to express my appreciation towards all the tutors, across all the courses I took this semester, and hope to see them again soon.
