Lets get the ball rolling...

WELL HELLO!!

Despite it being a couple of weeks ago since being down on campus for the induction day, it certainly has flown by and I must admit I am a little behind schedule for 'kick off' in to the first module! But fear not I WILL get to grips with this fabulous world of blogging, wikis (?) and what not. I will confess that I am a total novice at anything technological! A fine example of my ignorance to this is that we actually have a scart lead situation in our house... I know that this will sound ridiculous, but I intend my blog to be truthful to the very end (*sigh of shame as i begin to type*)... here it goes... Yes I would rather sit with a white noise background than attempt to change the scart lead from TV to DVD/digital box... ''HD what?? so not just my initials then?'' Yes, feel free to shake your head and laugh, I do deserve it!! Anything, other than emails and a little Facebook now and then, has not had my attention....not even the television, ha.
So, here I am attempting the very first blog. Please feel free to comment, criticise, leave helpful hints and have a good old giggle, I know I will.

WELCOME TO MY BLOGSPOT! :-)

Being down on campus was a wonderful opportunity to meet a few of you fellow BAPPer's and all course lecturers involved. I felt such a sense of relief that we were at the beginning of a new direction in our indivdual career paths, all different but with a fine overlap linking us all into each similar field.
Being a professional dancer for the last 4 years, I have already left the 'classroom' far behind by indulging im my true comfort zone of dance studios and the stage, leaving me now to find a balance of keeping up with rehearsals and touring with the constant eye and mind on the social media and modules for this course. This definitely fills me with anxiety. I am looking forward to speaking with the many of you that still are in the 'working' world too, im sure we will be much support for one another.

This first blog was a daunting task....''what will I write about?'', ''will it portray me in my true light?'', what happens if it is not groundbreaking statement?'' etc, yet I/we must remember that we are at the beginning of this learning curve, and we will develop a deeper understanding, and when it clicks into place im sure it will not be a challenging task but more of a joy to communicate in this way!

I for one am very much looking forward to that, and getting to know more of you and your thoughts!
