hello little bloggers, I certainly had a ripper last night but I am all set to work in my group with all my power and dedication. I must say, this module is rather intriguing, especially after jumping the bandwagon of bloggin. Thank you. I enjoy that we can express our thoughts here. So I will:
People, this is our last term, can you believe it? All those wonderful 3 years of our student life fleeeeeeeew by, didn't they? What do you feel when you come into the university building? What are your thoughts when you are climbing the stairs to get to the lecture rooms? Do you feel as if it was almost yesterday when we first got here? I sure feel that way. It is a great feeling, it is not the red wine talking from last night , I promise.
Oh, and here is something that I found in my reading: “In late modernity, we are increasingly engaged in forms of social interaction which are becoming intensely reflexive and open – ended. In this respect, technologies such as the internet are serving to increase the capacity for both reciprocal and non - reciprocal communication.” (Slevin : 2000) Blogging is a playground for writers that exist in a place we call cyberspace: regardless of their location, the practitioners and participants of blogging meet within a digital communication network. Cyberspace here is being used as a synonym for the Internet, which exceeds geographical boundaries, flows freely and unites people from all over the world. Daily, hundreds of sites are being updated to the latest information. If nothing else, weblogs are about personal publishing – people sharing what’s in their gut and backing it up with facts or persuasion.
So last year, eh? Take it by the scruff of the neck, enjoy the remaining time and give it your best. Do you have ants in your pants? Then thats a good thing.

Actually blogging takes place in a section of cyberspace known as the blogosphere which is a sub-set of cyberspace. According to Wikipedia the blogosphere might be seen as an online community or a social network - spooky stuff!
