Done done and done!


I am officially done my first semester, and boy am I glad! Those classes were really starting to get annoying. I mean, sure it's nice to be on the computer, it's an advanced way to learn and complete your work. But when you're on the computer for every single one of your classes, it gets to be annoying! You get tired of typing, you get tired starring at a screen all period and to be honest, I just wanted to write! So i'm definitely glad that I now get a break from computer classes. My second semester I have one computer class which is good enough for me!


So my exams were not too bad! I went into my Communications Technology exam in the 80's. I went into my International Business exam with a 81% and I went into my Business in the Digital Environment exam with an 80%. So it was quite obvious and a relief that I was 100% sure I was going to pass all of my classes. Like the exams were really going to be that hard.


For my Communications Technology exam, I had to do a presentation presenting my final project to my teacher and classmates. As I had mentioned in another one of my blogs, my Communications Technology final project was a digital portfolio done in Hyper Studio. I basically had to present myself as a graphics designer and show case my talents and show that I was able to include sound, animation and Photoshop elements to my slides. The presentation was fast and simple and then it was on to the written part. The written part however, no big deal, it was just a write up on what went well and what didn't go well while designing my portfolio! No studying, all my own opinions, one exam, done.


For my International Business exam, we actually had to study. Myself, I HATE studying. Especially when the subject is of no interest to me. I mean, you try sitting at your computer reading note after note about exporting and importing with other countries with trade barriers and policies. It's just not interesting for me! But that is what I had to do. With an Ice-Capp in my hand the night before, I sat at my computer and read over all of my notes. I'd say the exam was okay. A bit of the information that I had read stuck in my head and I was able to complete the exam. With fifty multiple choice questions, you would think it was simple. No. The written part, required so much writing. I thought my hand was going to fall off! I was so glad when I was finished! However the Tim Horton's muffins my teacher brought for us, made it not as bad.


For my final Business in the Digital Environment exam, (which was written today) it was again, a write up on what I had learned in the course and how I will use it in the future. Very simple. I'm glad I didn't have to do any studying this semester other than International Business!


With everything being finished, I am now looking forward to starting a new semester. :)
