Post 1. I have been inspiried.

Ok. So, sort of not so randomly side tracking off the lab session, I discovered a very brave blog on www.blogsearchengine.com . The title was "Garbage (Delete)" and the post was almost painstakingly simple, "This has potential".
But you're liking it too yes?
It's good that we're on the same page...tips and advice say that this level of understanding in our reader/writer relationship is healthy.
Although, it also says forebodeingly that communication is about relationships and not technology.
Hmmm anyway.

Things I figured out by myself about myself today.
Learning preferences = individual.
Feedback = constructive critisim ( I take quite unkindly to offence BUT I do have a nice and simple/stupid sense of humour thank you very much).
Oh...speaking of which...browsing through the infamous site above...I found a few words of wisdom from an experienced blogger about writing styles...he/she/it said "KISS...Keep It Simple,Stupid".
So, that is the attitude I am adapting to fuel the rantings, observations, opinions that I shall write about in this my new blogging career.

I will try my very best to be as informal as possible.
I will interchange between appearing biased and openminded because I just can't help myself.

I have just remembered that I have forgotten to implement the "inverted pyramid" technique that I learned today; Introduce a main point and then fill in the gaps later.
And scrolling back up I am realising that they're are too many long sentences and block passages of texts vs "simple and stupid" paragraphs that are easy on the eye.
Structure and presentation anyone?
Oops.

Last weeks news...this weeks blog.
I went to the Language exchange partner meeting organised by the LRA.
And met two shiny new German peoples.
I downloaded some more music from german artists on www.last.fm
Wow I'm like totally like oh my god like pimping that site.
I have succesfully in stages bought all my books for the new semester without reaching poverty and just in time for October.
And in all seriousness I shall commence readings asap.
My friend and fellow scholar watched a hillarious version of the Grimms Brother Hansel and Gretal in german in the lra. It wasn't a comedy but it was funny. We're studying the fairytales in two of our modules this semester so it was a helpful way to pass the time.

Labs over.
Over and out.
=)
