In our lesson with Mark on Monday we continued to delve deeper into the interview techniques we need in order to create a good assignment and be a good interviewer in future job roles. We learnt about the top 13 rules that his friend, a journalist, has always stuck to and these tips helped me when analysing the interviews for my assignment. We also learnt about conducting our own interviews and what to think about when writing and asking questions.
On Wednesday I began the day by twisting my ankle and badly spraining it but I powered through and headed off to college with a strong pain in my left leg. We once again began a lesson with Mark on industry skills, I was unable to fully attend this lesson however as I needed to help Kelly with a problem she was facing and has now thankfully resolved thanks to the help of not only Mark and Phil but me and my boyfriend Harry and everyone else who gave kelly any advice. I then continued the rest of the day with my photography lesson with Mark Epton who seemed a little annoyed at mine and kelly's late appearance but it was nothing that we could help. In the photography lesson, we focused on aperture and practised this through taking photos of chess pieces and changing the F-stop on the camera. Finally, on Wednesday we had a lesson with Rob where we got to learn about the great joy of internet acronyms and just how useful they were (really not much use at all in my opinion) and it once again made me wonder why I was staying until 5:30 on a Wednesday to learn about what seems to be completely pointless content.
As I woke up at 5:30 in the morning Thursday I rolled out of my bed and looked at myself in my mirror as I do every day and noticed something slightly different about my face, it was extremely swollen and I could only describe it as looking like a hamster or a marshmallow after showing my mum she sent me back to bed and later that day when I went to the doctors I was kindly told that I had a mild case of the mumps and couldn't attend college until it had cleared because its a dangerous and contagious illness. Most people would be thrilled by this news but I was extremely annoyed I couldn't attend college for the rest of the week and so for the whole of Thursday and Friday sat in my bedroom with a very sore throat and swollen hamster face instead of learning at college.
A pretty crazy week if you ask me.
