Why do all good things come to an end? :'(

This whole week was really maddd hectic trying to put the final touches to our group website!!! At some stages I felt my arms would get arthritis and I saw those green dots flying about in the air from computer radiation, think it was damaging my braincells!!! Well Nigel didn't make it in on Monday, thanks to some trees being blown from the storm in all of the train tracks (and why is it everytime we have a slight drizzle of rain, the whole country panics and goes into major chaos??? lol) He managed to leave us a message on the wikipage though, so glad the gushing winds didn't break through windows and attack computers as well!!!

This course I have learnt so much about about myself and has made me want to think twice before I post stuff on the net, our group project is finally finished!!! We all texted eachother and facebooked eachother to get the work completed!!! See Facebook is useful!!! :P So a massive thank you to Karina who encouraged me to keep going at it and helpign whenever I was lost, Raquel who read through books and worked out what was rubbish and what made sense, Urvi who saved her work on my computer and it was missions trying to retrieve it back and Jess who was actually ill for while but still contributed good information. All our effort has now come to an end and many joyful moments of banging heads on keyboards but guess thats part of the learning process!!! lol

I think I've changed how I now see the internet as a whole, before I'd judge it through what I'd watch on telly, what I'd see in newspapers or what other people on the net would describe the intenet, but now I'm more varied and look at more websites and understand online communities much better. I don't think i would ever join something as extreme as Second Life well but I will always have a facebook and myspace for communicating better with everyone and always staying in touch with those friends I care about. I don't judge anyone who's formed online realtionships, hey, if it works, it works, that stereotype of them being geeks or social retards is completely unfair and it depends on circumstances. For now, all I know is the internet will continue o play a big part in our daily lives and it will eventually take over all forms of media possibly...or maybe i'm skipping ahead to a 100 years here.

I see Nigel's left us a personal video message which is sooooo cool, I think I'm gona make ne and freak out my friends too, I'm sad yet glad this course is over, its been a good journey full of hard work. Now I'm off to complete the rest of my uni course! Many thanks to Nigel the teacher who motivated us all!!!

See ya!!! Paps :)
