Today was my first day of
university, such a scary but exciting day!
Finally I feel like I am studying something that I really want to, I now
feel as though I have more of a purpose in life – which is a satisfying feeling. I felt
very privileged and lucky to be sitting in my first ever Journalism lecture
this afternoon, as I know that so many people throughout the world would never
get this opportunity.
In this afternoons lecture Dr
Redman gave an overall introduction to JOUR1111, explaining upcoming assessment,
the course context and profile, and what we should expect in Introduction to
Journalism and Communication. Dr Redman
also took us through some inspiring quotes about journalists and by
journalists. I found this one particularly
inspiring:
'Journalism can never be silent: that
is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak
immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of
horror are still in the air.'
- Henry
Anatole Grunwald
After the lecture today I felt a
little bit less lost in this huge world of the University of Queensland, Dr
Redman seems very helpful. I am scared
but more importantly excited for what is to come throughout the semester!
