Next week on wednesday, its my last day of the school. in past one year, i work in hell and always bust myself to finished the work on time. it was a pretty good experience just like in the real world working. The work for me always needs good quality and on-time deliver. beside that means nothing. From the class i learned about team work and also the unexpect issue happened. i felt the stress for the deadline and the delay deliever work. it teach me always have a backup plan and find the solution right away. moving forward and don’t look back. cheers!!

Last week i had interview with teacher. that was a really good experience. i reallize when i talk to people, if i am not confident enough and my words will only speaking in my mouse which people can’t really hear what my words. To improve this disavantage is to practice what you are going to present and prepare completly. Sometime, i talked too fast without thinking that gives a negative effect because i did not think of the question properly and give a best response. Because of the interview experience, that let me know my mistake and i would be able to avoid next time.

The day before yesterday i received an email from the precticum guy. He send 6 packages of the photos around 76 pieces.
At the time i wasn’t rush, and thought i had time to finished it until next Monday.
Yesterday, i got a call from him said the work has to be done by tonight 12p.m. That was kind of impossible to finished work in shortly.
He said the client was in hurry so i have to get the work done before mid-night.
I made it. But i believe i can do better quality job if i have more time.

This Monday i had a interview with a freelancer in the coffeeshop. The interview was about an hour long and i was facing to the realistic situation. I found it stress because i was afrraid i wasnt good enough to work for him. We also discuss about how did i get into this program and how do i like about New Media. Last, he asked about what is my future plan in three years. I have never think of this question because im a just a freshman into the field, i realized i had to take sometime to think about this.

Today i started design my portfolio website. It took about half hour to come up the design concept and the organization of the site plan.I found it challenge on the first step “plan”. but after that just follow through the plan to build on the site. Therefore, i started working on my design and looking for sources. also, i applyed for preticum and it is a freelancer as i expected. I believe it would help me learn more about how the company run and the technique they use. they call me up for the interview next monday and i cannot wait.

Today, I had found a new way to build a website. It is an open source program call “Drupal”. It has build-in functions in there. As the Drupal developer, just has to customize the setting and its ready to launch it. I can say it is a big advantage for web developer to work on website. Normally, developers will hand coding on site, but Drupal is different. It could save lots of time on coding because it already coded. Drupal also can set up the user accessibility, which the customers can easily edit the basic function of the site. I believe the open source program will be the tred in media society. Now, i need more time to get hand on the program and improve my knowledge of Drupal as much as possible. It is a big achieve for my first day experience.
