The blogging community's collective favourite time of the year has come around again, Autumn! The weather is dipping meaning more chunky jumpers, scarves, hats and gloves. The trees are vibrant shades of reds and oranges and Halloween is just around the corner.
In the educational world, this means things are getting serious, we're not a newbie anymore, we have so much more knowledge already and we're so tired.
So far on my course (if anyone is interested) I have about 3 trees worth of notes for Media Law, I have done hours and hours of Shorthand, I've been in discussions about the ethics of journalism, learnt a lot about news writing and even more about multi-media.
We have been taught about filming, photography, voice recordings, both on mobile and the specialist equipment. I think I've learnt more in my four weeks of this course than I did in three years of my undergraduate degree.

I think, unfortunately the fun stuff is out the way, and now I'm moving on to the serious work, we're thinking about assessments more and more, which is terrifying, I feel like I've only just started.
How's everyone's educational year going so far?
Or are you missing/not missing education?
Thanks for reading,

Ps. Here's another picture from a multi media session, I haven't found any appropriate context to share this so here it is!
It feels like modern art
My partner studied journalism and I do NOT miss going over shorthand with him. Good luck and enjoy - I miss uni so much now I've left!

It's the most time consuming, frustrating thing to learn shorthand, I really hope it's worth it! x
