The wrap up, and a peak into term 2

So here I am, at the end of my 1st term in the New Media Design Program at BCIT. So far it’s been a great experience and I don’t have much to gripe about. But allow me to gripe for just a moment or so. Even though only a small part of this course requires getting projects printed, I am a little shocked that BCIT doesn’t provide a color printer for us to use. Thousands of dollars later and we still have to go out and spend money elsewhere to get something printed? Seems kinda silly to me… Anyhow I am lucky enough to have a girlfriend who works for a printing company, so conveniently she can “hook me up”.

Looking back on the first term

Its been an interesting couple of months here at BCIT. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t learned anything in this first term. Although not all of the classes have been, well, incredibly stimulating, I’d have to say that I enjoyed all of them equally at one point or another. The most noticeable thing I’ve gotten out of this first term has been re-teaching my brain how to learn and soak in new information. Its been years since i was last in school and it’s truly refreshing to be challenging my mind again.

Term 2, oh boy!

Aside from all the hype about term 2 and how intense it is, I am really looking forward to it. If it isn’t hard, then I don’t expect to get anything out of it. I know I’m gonna be pulling my hair out somewhere down the line, but how bad can it really be? Audio, Video, Illustrator, flash.. This is the good stuff as far as I’m concerned. Bring it on BCIT!
