Today mainly included a quick lecture about Equality and Diversity in media. This was surprisingly easy to understand, because they are things I have studied and considered before. However, something that really confused me was what I need to do for this module, which is a portfolio of work including worksheets we have done in the lectures, as well as a written account of how it affects and relates to our work. I also need to research topics discussed in lectures in my own time. Even though I did feel a bit unsure and worried about what I needed to do, I was very grateful that Neil calmly explained to me what I would need to do. This also made me think how well a situation like this was dealt with compared to in the past during my time at college. In the past, if a situation like this happened I would have probably left the room afterwards, as soon as I could, feeling very upset. I also feel that Neil, and my support Lynda understand me and get on with me better than ever, which I am also grateful for. It makes coming to college a lot easier and a lot more comfortable if you get on well with the people there. To be honest I feel that during my time at college, even though I can still be a bit shy and anxious sometimes, I've got on well with most people, both students and staff.
Other than this lecture, I didn't feel like a great deal was going on in this morning's lecture, so I wasn't too sure what I was supposed to do at this point. The other students seemed to be looking at using social media to promote their work, or maybe they were just not doing much, but I was just a bit unsure myself of what I was supposed to be doing. Towards the end of the morning Lynda showed me a jobs website, WM Jobs, that I have discussed with some careers advisors previously. I think that Lynda and lots of other people helping me with finding the next steps of what to do after college, as well as looking around myself during my time off college will be a great help to me, and I really appreciate this help. I think I will look at my career options in a lot more detail during my time off college these next couple of weeks, as well as catch up with college work I need to do.
