Blog of the Week

Guess that would be one of the problems of modern technology then? The site has been down for a bit now and all our blogs have been unaccessible. Just goes to show if we rely on something too heavily and it crashes... as the guy said in the Future Lecture on Thursday.

Anyways, monday was the day of health and Safety questions which we had to do on WEB CT (or E-Learn as its now known) and thankfully it all went just fine while Shorthand was picking up the pace towards the test on Friday.

Tuesday shorthand again was reviewing and preparing for the test while the afternoon class was called off.

Wednesday = enough said. Nothing to do with journalism but any football fan will know what I am referring to so lets not dwell on that subject.

I also rang a placement contact with non of the suggestions on the list near me only to find the person I need to speak to is off ill so a follow up phone call is needed.





Thursday, our busiest day, saw Delwyn look over the feature ideas, tell us the deadline and explain more about the work ex placements we have to do which are coming up in a month or so. In Quark we got a very useful handbook guide with the shortcuts and I am sure most of us will find that we are needing it when we have to design the pages. The guest lecture for Future of Journalism ended the day on a high note as well with some thought provoking content delivered in a relaxed atmosphere, I have to admit I've never thought of my phone as a journalistic tool.





Friday was the day of the Shorthand test and we all wait with baited breath until Monday to see if we move up or down or stay in the same place.


It also saw the "lively" debate in PA on our monarchy and quite a few people had things to say re: that subject and I'm sure it will be raised again in feature classes.



Saturday, England lost the Rugby :( but before that I have now made notes from quite a few books for my Future Assignment and will start writing that very soon...



Sunday saw me work on my feature, refresh my memory with Shorthand (just on the VERY remote chance I go up a group) and watch Lewis Hamilton lose in the Grand Prix.



Hopefully next time I blog the week England or anyone representing the country will not be doing anything. Football, Rubgy and Lewis Hamilton all lost and I am sure other sports suffered the same fate.
