Getting Started

Today i have created my first blog, this is very new to me. It is my second weeks at university at the AIB. Im feeling really motivated and cant wait to get started! 

First week over already.

We started the day by taking a quick scan test, this identified our learning style, this is useful for both ourselves and the tutors. The test also identified if we had any learning difficulties. From this i found i work best when I'm seeing and doing rather then listening and that i do not have any learning difficulties.

in the afternoon working in the groups we had worked in yesterday we had to design and make an outfit with given materials (picture shown above). We based the design on the merry-go-round we had seen at b'mth pier.  we all found this a very enjoyable task.

Orientation Brief Day

Today was a really good day for getting to know people as we worked in small groups. After the disappointment of a few members of the group not turning up we were all motivated to get on, answer the questions and find inspiration from the surroundings.  having an advantage me and another member of the group had as were were local we could help guide and lead the group, by doing this we all benefited. 

On completion of the quiz and after tacking photographs we then hit the shops!

The second day

Eager to attend after the good day i had yesterday, we were first welcomed by the principles talk, i felt very welcomed by him and the talk reassured me that the AIB was the place i wanted to be and how lucky i was to gain a place there.

During the day we had varies talks about different things at the institute and we the enrolled. What stuck out most to me about the day was watching the fashion show from the previous years graduating students. Having already seen the show live last june and the two previous shows before it still had the same effect on me as it did then. This gave a real eager motivation, knowing that hopefully my work will be shown on the catwalk in 2010, being the peck and most satisfying part of my fda. 

I'am looking forward to the group orientation as i hope i will get to know more people. 

First day at AIB

Arriving at AIB earlier today was very daunting, when meeting with a few familiar faces i had met at the summer study course this summer. This eased my nerves somewhat. 

When gathering together my first impression was how many people there were on the course. With so many new names and faces it is going to take a while to get to know everyone. 

Throughout the day i got to briefly  know a few people which made things easier and more comfortable.

Learning more about the course, the structure and subject areas has furthered my enthusiasm and i cant wait to get started!
