Hello! My name is Luchia Bennett, I'm 18 years old and come from Bristol, England. Currently in my first year at UWIC studying Media Studies with Visual Cultures. I've been living here for just under a month now in Evelian Court a particular halls of residence for UWIC (one of the closer ones to Landaff campus which is where media is stationed). I feel I have already fit in quite well with my flatmates and class as well as having kept a good time management regime, so all is well. Phew!
The course so far is exactly what I expected which is great and because I have been taught media studies from GCSE up to A level which has helped a great deal because at the moment I know all the terminology, theorists and their concepts making it rather simple for me.
My course is made up by three lectures Andrea Williams, Cath Davies and Ashley Morgan. Each lecture will teach us a specific module, which as it stands Andrea is teaching us 'Constructing Meaning: An Introduction' Cath's is 'Introduction to Theory' and finally Ash's module is 'Being Academic'. All the modules mentioned I am really learning from especially Ashley's because it is helping us write and do things in the correct academic manner.
The main reason i've come to univerisity is to expand my knowledge of the media and all its aspects. Leading me closer to the possibility of getting a job within advertising, something i've always aspired to do. Another reason for being here is for the experience and the chance to do things I would not usually have the opportunities too, so bring it on!
Peace x
