To Begin at the Beggining - of BAPP

A few days ago I embarked on my adventure to higher education. Taking part in my first skype call as a student of Middlesex University on their BA (Hons) Professional Practice in Arts. While sat armed with pen in hand ready to take as many notes as possible and ears open ready to absorb all the information, I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the vast amounts of information I needed to take in. However, whilst I felt nervous and a bit confused at times, the skype call was unbelievably helpful and I'm sure I'm not the first (and not the last) person to feel this way. Both of the module leaders were so helpful and helped me to turn the nerves into excitement for what lies ahead. Along with the talk with the tutors and the other students, I have printed off and began to read through the handbook for module 1 and the reader. Whilst this has consisted of having to re-read in several places, I have found that making notes and jotting down ideas as I go, has helped me to understand more and encouraged me to start the first module since the skype session.

Blogging isn't necessarily new to me. I had to have several blogs for my media A Level but in a much different format. However I believe the intentions behind this blog and my previous ones are the same - to discover, reflect and share my thoughts and work.

So that is my first blog and I'm sure there will be many more to follow! I look forward to reading about everyone else's and sharing our experience of the course.
