Week 1 Tutorial: 10-12

And here we begin. At 10:41am on a (out of the blue) sunny Thursday, nineteen old and new students begin their initial commencement of the world that is 'the blog'. Everyone types keenly, but does anyone know of what is the right thing to be writing. So here goes this fresh new blog "journo"s first impressive blog attempt. (Wish me luck).

Our tutor, Chris, gave us a bit of a spiel this morning RE: communication today. And he's right. As a true myspace addict - almost worthy of Myspace Annonymous - communications are incredibley rapid and technological - which do affect the ways in which we communicate with others. Or perhaps, ways in which we don't communicate with others - well, if communication can be seen as per the traditional aspects. You know, when I was much younger my mother would always yell at my sister and I for spending so long on the phone. And then times changed, and I stopped using the phone, and instead, got on the internet. And apparently this still annoyed my mother. Go figure? Perhaps it was that the internet option arrived somewhere around the same time as the mobile phone option arrived - and my new communication skills in the field of highly impressive MSN Messenger and the even more impressive rate of knots at which I could text, meant spending a bit more of my hard earned $4.95/hour KFC wages than anticipated.

This blog also marks my first semester of my first year at Griffith University. I have already tried the First year thing - well part time, and externally, but in a Bachelor of Business, it just didn't seem to interest me a whole lot. But I am positive that this First Year here, will work out just fine.

To be honest this course was chosen as a pre-requisite for alot of the majors that I want to do in 2nd and 3rd year. So theoretically I didn't have a choice. And I was perplexed as to why I had to do it. On Sunday I turned 20 - and my Dad, bought me a book on Careers in Public Relations, and I have read a bit - and now I see where the internet - actually - not just internet - BUT EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE OF COMMUNICATION - comes into it. And now I want to know everything. And oh dear, do I need to work on writing much better!

Anyway, welcome to 'Got Blog?' - enjoy the ride.
