So here I am on the 18th April, sitting on a coach to my first day back at university from Bournemouth and the start of level 2. So I’m currently writing a blog using a word document. You might think that I’m doing this because the coach driver had problems powering the WiFi and power outlets on this coach this morning, which is true, but not the case. I have in fact been asked to write a blog reflecting on my education at a leading digital media and design university using a word document. Now I’ve been blogging for a very very long time, some of you who know me well will know my old weekly Weekend in Pictures blog posts and I’ve NEVER written a blog using a word document. For starters last time I checked a blog was something that can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection anywhere, so I’m guessing that the subject leaders are wanting me to host this word document on some kind of server somewhere, which is highly unlikely. Actually, what baffles me is why instead of waiting for Rave’s own in-house blogging system to be coded we didn’t just use an existing blogging system like WordPress? I’ve been using WordPress for years and I even used it to blog the documentation to go alongside my alevel media production last year so why we’re not using it really confuses me.

Also the idea of a blog is that it’s written with a mass audience in mind, which is why in posts like this one my writing style has been more open and welcoming to anyone to read. I’m now wondering why I’m even doing that. With this being a word document and all I should probably write this blog in a more closed ‘me, me, me’ way. Actually no, my biggest problem with this task is that fact that it’s called a ‘blog’. This is a diary. Check it in the dictionary. Let’s just call this a diary and stop making a ‘digital media’ university look stupid. I mean, I haven’t paid £3290 to hear a diary being called a blog. Rant, over.
