I cannot believe that our BTech year is almost year and in the past two weeks we have had many "last lectures" and although it is sad to say goodbye, it is time to go out into the real world.
I have learned so much on my journey and met so many interesting people but everything has to come to an end at some point. Just as one door closes, another will be opened and the learning begins again.
I have enjoyed everything about this year and now we have come to not only the last lecture but the very last media studies blog.
Farewell everyone...

My favourite Cat in the Hat book is...
The Cat in the Hat: The Fish tale, I think it is so cute and amusing at the same time. The story tells the tale of a fussy, rule obeying fish who is the classic comic foil to the unrestrained Cat.
In the story the fish explains his experiences and day with the Cat in the Hat. I really enjoyed this story and they way in which it was conveyed - you could allow your imagination to run wild and the possibilities would be endless.

Why I have conversations?
I have conversations because I love talking, talking and more talking. I enjoy listening to other people as well because we have such diverse people in this world. I have conversations with my friends when I miss them, am troubled or simply just an exchange of interesting facts.
I have conversatiosn with my parents because they are wise and knowledgable about a great deal of topics and issues.
I think we would not be able to function without some form of conversation wheather it is via email, facebook, twitter, face to face or over the telephone.

One week to go
I really can’t believe that in just one week my Tech career will be over, it’s actually scary and exciting at the same time. I can’t believe how quickly 4 years has gone by, how I have matured and the learning that I have encountered. Now I stand at the cross over from student life to employee life and my learning begins once again. Closing one chapter and opening another to great opportunities and adventures. Here’s to 4 years of learning and a lifetime of working...laughs
My big fat BIG Dream
To be a successful business women and own an events company
To travel abroad and meet people of diverse cultures
To live a fulfilled life and help others whenever I am able to do so
Use my voice and create change in a world that is so corrupt
To believe in myself and continue to impart knowledge from others and experiences
To set goals and achieve them no matter how long it may take...
But most importantly to never stop dreaming big and thinking big because that is how dream are achieved.
Conventional is a good fallback position isn’t it?
I totally disagree, as conventional is a safe approach to situations and life, knowing exactly what is going to happen and when. I think this prevents us from growing as human beings and exceeding things beyond our expectations.
Change is very scary and many of us may feel like being in our comfort zones is the best option.
But what would life be like if we did not take risks and take that giant leap of faith. It is important to be the best person that you can be in life and use every opportunity in life to grow and gain as much knowledge as possible.
