There were no classes after Tuesday last week as most of the year level were away on the marae trip Unfortunately I missed out on this, as I stayed back to be available to the Beijing Film Academy students. Although we had finished shooting by the time the marae began, I'm still glad I stayed behind as I was able to save myself a bit of stress by having time to tie up loose ends, such as sending thankyou gifts to our interviewees, repaying petrol and phone debts, and making sure the BFA students copied the footage to their hard drive before going. The bonus was that I was also able to go to the Sounds In The Sun music festival, which was brilliant!
This week brings the first of many classes. I'm particularly looking forward to Doco Research & History. It's quite exciting to realise that we will have a whole semester to explore the genre and research a topic, rather than the very short and shallow research that I've been able to do in the past. The week also brings the first Creative Industries and Business Faculty Academic Committee meeting, which I am both looking forward to and dreading. I am about to discover whether I will ave a great opportunity to bring change this year, or whether I am just going to be sitting through many hours of boredom. I really hope it's the former, as I will be missing an emerging technologies class in order to be there.
