Hi friends! Currently super relieved, having finished three assessments over two days!
I'll start with stuff I got back this week.
- ARTS1090 (media subject) // probably the worst subject on my timetable... but whatever lol. Did pretty good in this one, especially considering I thought I did an awful job on the assignment - felt like I handed in the worst thing ever. Yay for a distinction!
- ARTS1510 (German) // quite surprised with this one! This one was a five page portfolio. I knew I made a ton of mistakes, but I did put in a little more effort. One mark off a HD, but it's okay, there's two more portfolios I can improve on :-)
Assessments I did this week:
- INST1005 // this was done last week, but I felt like I submitted total trash. Apparently we're getting them back by the end of next week which is scary because I know I didn't do very well in this one.
- ARTS1510 (Wednesday) // listening test for German, which didn't go very well. I wasn't expecting spelling which was pretty much the lecturer reading out letters in German and then writing down the letters of a word. There's literally four different letters that sound like "ooh" so that was difficult. Fun fact: kangaroo = känguru
- MDIA1002 (today) // multiple choice quiz worth 20%. You know those questions where each question has answers that all sound right, and you have to pick the one that's the most correct? That was every single question in this test. Really not confident about this one.
- ARTS1090 (today) // this was an annotated bibliography for some journal articles (the journal articles are going to be in a literature review which is the next assessment). Once again, I felt like I submitted trash. I don't think I interpreted the articles correctly, and the whole bibliography wasn't written very well so like... I'll be glad to pass.
This week:
- Enrolment for next semester is coming up, so my friends and I were on bojangles for an hour (procrastination... what can I say) comparing timetables and trying to get in the same classes. Don't think we're going to be in a lot of the same classes next semester which is kinda sad but here's to meeting new people...?
- Exchange is also coming up in a year and a half (whaaaat) and I have to get everything together by the beginning of next year, so there's been a bit of researching for that.
- I've also been looking at the minor streams for International Studies (we start that next year), and I'm very split between Politics and International Relations or International Business. I like learning about politics, but I think it's going to be a very popular minor stream and I don't know if I like the idea of having a ton of people doing the same thing? As for International Business, I don't want to get let down studying business especially after I thought I was interested in business, which I did in year 11 and 12, but found it really dry and boring. I would like to do International Business, but there's just that voice in the back of my mind saying it's going to let me down again. But, I think it'll tie in nicely with Media :-) Also, the International Business minor is 30 credits, compared to 24 credits for the other minors so I don't know?? I've got about half a year to decide, but yeaaaaa very conflicted
Today: new notification for the last MDIA1002 assessment. It's another writing task, and we can choose whether we want to write a press release or news article. We have to base this off something related to UNSW, and I have no idea what I'm going to do because we actually have to interview people. As I'm already very socially awkward, I really don't know how this interviewing is going to go - I'm probably going to embarrass myself really badly lol. If anyone has suggestions for this task, please leave them below :-)
If you made it here, congrats!!!! You've gotten through a very long ramble.
Hope you have an awesome Friday and weekend,
