Reflection on a start

The end of the semester is in sight - finally. But with the joy of this fact and the almost reachable summer break, a tide schedule, short nights and smoking brains come along. It's almost the end of the semester - it's test and paper and final project time.

So for my Mcom63 class we ought to do a final media project. Gladly I found someone in class that shares the same interest and was willing to form a team with me. Thanks Tricia!
Starting off with this final project was not too hard so far. We decided on a topic pretty fast and since Tricia is a very passionate hockey fan (as I consider myself rather as a casual one), the ideas about content and the usage of different media came into our minds quite easy.
I guess the both of us want to create a fun project that's fun to watch and/or to participate in. I must say it's maybe not the most creative or most unique project ever - but I am convinced that with our content ideas, we will spark this thing and make it interesting.
Actually, I'm pretty excited about doing this. It's not a final project like in the other classes - it's actually a fun one (sorry to all my other instructors - nothing personal). So I don't think doing this is a waste of time, not at all! Even if the project itself will not be the greatest ever, it still will give me some good basic knowledge, I can gather some experience, learn something and actually show what I learned so far in class. And that's been quite a bit - I started off with only a clue of what's possible.

Compared to the in lab projects and assignments, the final one seems like a big firework of all we did so far. It's like puzzling: Gathering all the single parts, bring them together and we will get one picture of something bigger. I like that.

With Tricia as partner this teamwork has turned out working great so far. We divide up different tasks as we go along the project, add or remove ideas and just take one step after the other after each fulfilled job. So we will be working quite equally, splitting jobs according to talents and know how, time and possibilities. Actually it doesn't matter how much we spend on the thing - we just want to reach what we picture: An interesting, watch worthy, diverse media project.
