Get Your Geek On!

It’s official, it has been 34 hours since I last woke up! I haven’t begun to see things that aren’t there just yet however I am beginning to get extremely fatigued, anything more than light mental stimulus and I am getting confused. Bad news however is I am hungry and there is absolutely no food in the house.

Well I had begun writing this post yesterday evening, after spending the previous night in its entirety working on my multimedia project, as you can probably guess I fell asleep before I could finish that blog post. 34 hours is good effort for anyone, let alone someone who did it with aid of no caffeine what so ever!

So what is up with the title, I am sure your wondering what it was that I did to “Get my Geek on” well Ian my 209 Video lecturer used it in yesterdays lecture while explaining the harsh fact of university life that it isn’t the every night out drinking and all night parties that many think it is. That university life is actually about working towards getting a career in what you love doing, media is not the easy course that many prejudge it as being and the media industry is a very long way from being just a walk in the park! CCM (Communication, Culture & Media) is a very difficult course and involves a lot of hard work both practically with film production, graphic design, etc and academically with the extensive knowledge of culture and media theory, the science behind the many forms of communication and the skills and techniques used in lighting, editing, script writing, advertising, interface development, directing, camera working, logging and many, many, many other fields that are all taught under the CCM banner. Getting you geek on is about organising your life so you get your work done and enjoy going out, both can be accomplished without sacrificing the other it just takes skills

Well it’s midnight now and I have had so much work to do today that this blog post has remained open since 11am this morning, so without adding anymore to it I shall post. Good night.
