The Results Are In

So we got out media autobiographies back in the last lecture. I had figured this class would be difficult but a barely passing mark on my writing was hard to take. It makes you wonder why they tell you that you are a “great writer” in high school. I definitely think we are all babied in high school, and one of the greatest things to get used to in university is realizing you are among a lot of really intelligent people. You instantly become “average”, and standing out is a lot harder to do. I guess I’m just trying to find my place in all of this still.

All my other classes have been surprisingly good, but this one is still kind of hard to get used to. It is definitely very different from my other classes, since the teachers are more laid back and enjoy explaining every detail about an assignment. I think Mark wants us to learn how to do a lot on our own, and find our own way to do things. He said we could write a letter to him explaining our media autobiography and possibly change our marks, but I honestly have no idea what I would say. I feel the best thing I can do is work harder on the rest of the work for this course, especially the semiotics paper.
