Technical Production

So I’m currently enrolled in a VET course, called technical production (The guys there call it 'tech pro'). This is basically just the first step to becoming a sound engineer. We learn about how sound is created and how it works, and we record sounds. That’s basically just in a nutshell what we do, there is a fair amount of work squished into our weekly sessions. 

I do this program at an all boys school, and yes being the only girl there is extremely terrifying.. well it was, I’m not so scared anymore as I’ve learnt they’re more scared of me than I am of them. When I walk  into the school each week I do receive a few cat calls, on one occasion I was asked to marry someone and every single week they seem to think it's necessary to remind me that i'm a female.. as if I wasn't aware, but anyway, I feel much more relaxed once I get into the class room as I’ve made friends with a great deal of the students in my class. They’re the ones who told me that the boys are more scared of me than I am of them.

Last week in class we were given an assignment on the copyright legislation in the music industry. Well I was given it last week, because I was away the week before. My friends have had the assignment for 2 weeks and it was due today. I worked hard on the weekend to finish off the assignment to hand it in today, even though I was given an extra week to account for the week I missed. I did this because I know I won’t be able to attend class next week, and I like to get homework out of the way as soon as possible. 

Last night, my best friend at VET sent me a message on Facebook asking me to send him a photo of the assignment sheet as he’d lost it. Which indicated to me he probably hadn’t started. Then about half an hour later, he asked me to send him a picture of the first few answers, as he knew I’d already finished. I did it because we’re friends and I didn’t mind. But then, an hour later he asks me to send him the answers to the rest of the assignment so that he could hand it in on time, as he knew I still had a week so I didn’t need to stress. 

I am not one who generally gives my answers out to people because it annoys me. It’s like if I have to time to put effort into the assignment, I’m sure you can manage it too. I didn’t know how to say no to him. So I sort of just didn’t reply to his message, and I was slightly nervous about attending class today to see him. 

I guess the whole point of this blog post was to see if any of you are like me and get frustrated when people are too lazy to do work and just copy yours instead.

Yours truely,
