TASK 1a: Professional profile

I automatically put my profile up on my page when I created this blog late last year. I guess I'm so used to doing it for programs and employers, I had no idea that it would actually be one of our tasks. So what I'm interested in is how I can develop my profile, to do this I invite you all in a critical conversasion - Lets share profiles... Mine can be found on the right of this page, please read it and comment on anything you feel I can change and improve about it. Is it too chatty and informal? Is the joke at the end too much? Is it detailed enough or have I just skimmed over my theatre credits?

And my search for good profiles begins...

Academic - Rigorous and Systematic

At the end of the induction day we explored the word academic. Until now, this is a word I hadn't really thought about much, perhaps because I never thought I would be associated with such a word, or maybe because my work has been more practical based so far. Alan Durrant, threw the words vigorous and systematic on the table and this got me thinking. When I tried to explain the word rigorous, I sort of punch the air and show my muscles. With systematic I start moving my flat palm along, as if creating files with my hand. I then realise something about myself, I think and learn a certain way. When I think about an idea, it comes to my mind and I nearly always paint the picture of it infont of me with my hands and then begin to talk about it. Its like I feel the words rigorous and systematic and my body shapes that feeling, then I can start expressing it, just like a physical theatre drama exercise. This excites me, I'm learning about myself and they way I work best, with lots of Rigorous study and systematic written work, I look forward to becoming an academic.

The Journey begins tomorrow.

My BAPP journey takes off tomorrow. I haven't enrolled yet, think they might have forgotten me. I feel nervous and excited to learn and grow. I read the handbook for Module 1 last night, once I got over the initial shock of the language and tasks, I started feeling really pleased with the choice I have made to study on this particular course. I look forward to both gaining new skills and cementing the skills I already have. To celebrate the start of this academic voyage, I started my journal. I played with the idea of a voice journal, but decided I work best when it is in written form. So 10 am sharp tomorrow morning...
