Media yanR

Hey everyone. It's week 12 and it's time to get down to business. Lots of assessment and not much time to do it in. There was no lecture this week for Network because last week was Michael's last one. This cleared up my tuesday afternoon for other activities. Looking at the amount of assessment due for me this week and the coming two weeks my tuesday afternoon activities will probably consist of working on assignments. Which is exactly what I have been doing all day today. Wednesday my beloved day off from uni and work was slaughtered by the fact that I have a Japanese assignment due tomorrow and an essay due in on friday. Now I am a procrastinator when it comes to actually doing assignments. Then there is a point every so often where I just buckle down and get heaps of work done. Today was that day. I achieved a lot in regards to my assignments. However this is also bad news because it means that I have not had time to start work on my Network Media task.

I have decided that for my Network media task I will be writing a story about a few friends who decide that its going to be a game night. However they are all very busy on the particular day with things such as work, uni, and one guy is even proposing to his girlfriend. However they make a pact that they will all meet up at the designated point in the evening. The story takes place jumping between their days and the hardships they face during the day trying to make the game night. It will be a comedy story (at least ill try to make it funny) and will span Canberra and surrounding areas. I am looking forward to making this story come to life in google maps. I like the idea of reading a book and getting sucked into a story while at the same time you can interactively get a picture of where the events are taking place and what it looks like. I thought about doing a datavisualization but decided that it would take up too much time to collect relevant statistics and turn it into something cool.

Seeing as it is the end of the term a lot of my lectures and tutorials have become mainly time to get assessment done. Which is good however my Japanese class is still going full steam ahead. I left this blog last night because I had other things to do and now I find myself sitting here not remembering what the hell I wanted to talk about. So I might leave it here for this week. I have an essay to write tonight that is due for friday and I am running off little sleep. Just gotta love the uni life ay.
