I haven't really posted much lately, as I was busy getting ready to go to college. I moved into the dorms on Saturday (too bad, because I really wanted to go to the Sunset Junction!). I finally got my computer up and running. :D

In about an hour, I'm meeting with my advisor so that I can pick my classes and register. I start classes on Thursday. :o

Anyone else start college this year?

By the way, I'm now at the University of San Francisco and majoring in Media Studies!

Over the next year I am taking a few calsses to upgrade my highschool(I should have payed attention to classes other than film). Then next fall I will be taking film at Simon Faser school of contemporary arts(The best film school in western Canada)

I'm starting junior college. I'm scared. My classes start on Monday.

Don't complain Evil. I have three AP classes this year... in a row! And Geometry then Chemistry first thing in the morning. It blows. But my Chemistry teacher was in Riding Giants. So she literally rides giants. Good times.

I'm starting on the 31st.
can't wait!
I love to learn, hate the people I learn with.
I'm doing some basics at a city college
then I'm going to transfer to UCSD
major= Visual arts-media

seems most of us like media

Are any of you media students going to be going into film(unless it is film. Here media arts and film are 2 totally different things)

No I'm more for Photography...
but Media arts is a bit of computer arts, and mainly film and photography...
but most of them you pick one of the 3 that you'll do most
mine is photography.
I want to be a photographer badly
did I help?

here, the smart people say it better





Visual Arts (Media) B.A. Major at UCSD

With a visual arts foundation, the program is designed for students who want to become creative videomakers, filmmakers, photographers and computer artists, encouraging the hybridity of media. The curriculum combines hands-on experience of making artwith practical and theoretical criticism, provides historical, social and aesthetic backgrounds for the understanding of modern media, and emphasizes creativity, versatility and intelligence over technical specializations. It should allow students to go on to more specialized graduate programs in the media arts, to seek careers in film, television, computing or photography, or to develop as independent artists.

I have just done my first year at college and come out with an e in philosophy, which is a minimal pass, and 2 u's for photography and art. (u is ungraded, cos it was bollocks) i was pretty pissed off!! everything is structured really differently in the uk tho, we don't live in at college. i guess college in the US is pretty similar to university in the UK.

In the US you don't have to live at college. A lot do, at the univeristys, but it's not needed, just a lot cheaper.
