hi everyone..

so here is my first post. i guess i'll introduce myself to get things started: i'm alana, i'm third year this year (doing a ba, majoring in coms and minoring in political studies) and i'm originally from invercargill. haha but don't hold that against me! i wasn't in dunedin last semester so it's been kind of hard to get used to the whole student thing again, but so far i'm really enjoying my classes. i'm home for the weekend since i didn't feel like being all flu-ridden in my flat watching everybody else party! lame.

even though i've used blogger before, i found even linking everybody to my blog pretty nerve wracking - it's different to be assessed on a blog, when before i've only just kind of fumbled around trying to make my other blog look pretty (thats about as tech-savvy as i get i'm afraid). fingers crossed i managed to link everybody properly. i'm not the most technical person around so this paper might be a bit of a challenge for me, but i'll give it a go. so far so good - i hope anyway.

i was a bit sick last week and so missed our first seminar on thursday... not a good start i know! if anybody else could please fill me in on what i missed i'd really appreciate it?!

anyway i'm looking forward to meeting everybody... it's kind of weird to read other people's blogs without putting a face to the name first, but i spose thats what the internet is all about :)

feel free to comment me as well guys!
