Studying at TAFE!

So wow, I'm nearly half way through my TAFE course already! It's just gone SO fast! I am about two and a half weeks from finishing my first semester.


We have learnt a lot of interesting things so far. We get to play around with Photoshop and InDesign, cameras and video cameras. It's a lot of fun.


I must admit, I do struggle a little with Photoshop and InDesign though. I think it's just the fact that there are so many tools that you are able to use, but not one of them explain what they are actually used for! 


I'm not worried though, I know that I'll get the hang of it eventually. I'm a pretty fast learner and I'm always up for a challenge, so I know that it will be a great accomplishment once I do learn how to use them properly.

In our camera operations class, we have spent a few lessons filming short videos for our assignments. At first it was a little awkward having to act and come up with scripts etc, but now it's actually quite fun.

I am quite pleased with my results so far as well. For every assignment that I have handed in, I have been only 2 marks from getting a full score, apart from two assignments where I got four marks off, and five marks off. 

That's ok too though, it encourages me to study harder so that I can get full marks on my next assignment. It is my goal during this course to get no less than 5 marks off a total score for every assignment.

It is a little bit more full on that I thought it would be too. Every week we seem to have more and more assignments due. It is a lot of work, but I know that in the end it will all be worth it.

All that I need to remember is that I am working towards my goal of scoring my dream job, which gives me the motivation to put in the extra effort!
