I suppose over christmas I got settled back into a routine of working and enjoying myself and got to admit I didn't give college much thought. But at the end of last week when Steve started sending the emails around of things we needed to do I started looking forward to going back. Then when I started thinking about college I started thinking about what grade I might have got in the Back To Basics assignment and was hoping not to recieve an email from Steve telling me to clear off the course.
I was quite glad when I got into college on Wednesday that no one had left the course and all seemed just as keen as me to get stuck back into college life. When we came back from break our results was up on the wall, luckily this time I passed. I really felt like I had deserved this as I did a hell of a lot of work on the assignment and changed my working and social hours a lot to help my college work, so I was very happy that my hard work paid off and I can just go from strength to strength now. If I had got a referal this time I don't know what I would have done as I did put a lot of effort in.
Steve told us he would be giving us a little talk about Dreamweaver after dinner which I was really looking forward to. I have tried Dreamweaver before but having used the F word (Frontpage) to design websites in the past it always seemed difficult to pick up. After a quick call from Dean telling me how to set up an FTP on Dreamweaver (Thanks for that Dean) I got my index page on my space the Tuesday night and was looking forward to learning more on Dreamweaver from Steve.
Steve gave a great talk on Dreamweaver the things I found difficult before was quickly explained and the Wednesday night I was using it to design a new personal site in which I found it so much easier and more proffesional then Frontpage just by using it for a couple of hours. I know have a favourite toy.
I'm looking forward to working in my new feedback group also, I have got along with Dean since the first day and has already helped me out a lot on this course and his feedback is very useful as he has designed plenty of websites and knows what clients want. Never really had chance to chat with Drew but the signs look promising when setting up some tasks for our self study this week. I feel like I have already done more then 8 hours of self study this week just by learning Dreamweaver from home and long may it continue.

Are you going to tell us your URL so we can take look at your site?
Well, I wasn't going to until it was finished but since you asked its www.letmebetheone.co.uk a lot needs doing to it but its good learning how to use Dreamweaver. Feedback welcomed.
I share your feelings about having everyone back, it keeps that morale going that we had last year.
On another note, if you need any more of a hand with Dreamweaver just pop me a mail, I'm sure I can spare a bit of time.
