Week Nineteen - Start of the new Semester

The first day of the first semester seems to have been a quiet one with new students joining in and with the lecturers (Gordon and new lecturer, Paula Sime) explaining what is expected for the modules in this semester.  Today seems to have gone quickly too. 


Gordon's class asked us to find certain devices for a computer with a £600 budget, sounds easy, just a bit harder listing my findings.  I hope that I will understand Paula's module as it progresses through the semester. 


The timetable doesn't look too bad for us this week, I just hope that this week will be about finding out about the new modules. 


Lets hope that this week won't be too bad for us all. 


Wish us all luck.

Week Eighteen - Review of the Week and End of Semester 1

End of the week and the first semester - hard to believe and just crazy!


Yesterday was finished quickly with all the work for Stephen Duncan done and submitted.  And that I am happy of.  The Video Editing and Audio Editing classes have been fun to do, despite the group I was in pulling a disappearing act.  I thick that I could make my our videos if I give it a try. 


Just to double check with Graeme and then it will be the end of the semester before we return next week for the new semester and new classes (and new challenges for us).  And I have done all the work needed to do - Excellent!


It's just hard to believe that the semester is over already - it seems to have fly by so quickly.  I wonder how quick the next semester goes. 


Here's to the new semester


Wish us all luck

Week Eighteen - Approaching the end of Semester 1

The final week of Semester 1.  Hard to believe. 


Even harder to believe that is all the work has to be double-checked before being submitted in.  I just hope that the lecturers' paperwork with submitted work agrees with what I'm sure I submitted in for them. 


The new timetable doesn't look that much different with the old one (apart from Thursday). 


Lets hope that this week will work out well. 


Wish us all luck.

Week Seventeen - Review of the week

What a week! A white start to the week with a bigger number of students in the first class of the week than was perhaps expected by Gordon.  We must have been at least one or two people short.  Then there was that fire drill which caused us to go out into the snow and the final class to end early (there was only about four of us in the class with Graeme). 


Wednesday had less than Tuesday for weblogs and then Stephen's class in Video Editing and Audio Editing.  The video and audio recordings are all done, just the paperwork to finish up for next week before the timetable changes. 


Today is wet, wet, wet outside.  Raining cats and dogs might be the correct phrase for today.  This week feels like a quick one, but with a lot of work done slowly.  But I feel that the work done this week has been good. 


Lets hope that next week will be easier for all before our timetable changes. 


Wish all luck

Week Seventeen - White Start, Full House

Week Seventeen seems to have arrived quickly - with a white start of the day. 


Gordon seemed to be expecting less than usual due to the snowy weather that seems to have covered this corner of the Highlands.  I can image after the high winds at the end of last week - two trees fell onto Culloden Road outside Inverness near where I live.  One damaged a lamppost and the men cutting the trees had to wait till the power was off before they could start.  I was watching the cutting and removal of the other tree (the biggest of the two) and watched the bottom part of the truck right itself as it was being cut (I even got to stand in the middle of the road due to the road being closed between Drumossie's junction and Simpsons Garden Centre). 


Gordon has asked us all to use this week and next week to finish off any unfinished work that needs to done before the timetables change at the end of next week.  As far as I'm aware, both my works for Graeme is done.  Just need to check the paperwork for the Video and Audio classes for Stephen. 


Hopefully this week may fair better than last week. 


Wish us all luck

Week Sixteen - Review of the Returning Week

I just don't know how to put it.  Yesterday we were given some time off since Stephen isn't in, but we still have work to do (or at least I do for went over my video for the Video and Audio classes).  I am happy with my video however simple it may seem. 

Today, Graeme is at a meeting so we have the same thing as yesterday, so I'm doing a blog for Gordon and double checking everything over again. 

It was has been an interesting week returning to college, we've been hardly one might call being in, but it's a good way of getting back into the work.  Hopefully next week will be better. 

Wish us all luck

Week Sixteen - Back at College

Christmas and New Year seems to have past quickly as always every year - and it was fantastic and quiet. 


We're back at Longman for the new term and we have just three or four weeks till the timetable changes and we start the new one. 


I wonder what Gordon has planned for us.
