Desgree Show, finishing the course, etc.

The course finished last week. One year was so quick! For the last project, we made an iPhone application called “Alight”. Alight is an application to allow users to associate their small ideas in daily life with particular location, so that they will have more chanced to develop them further. I was in charge of interface design. I know iPhone is not small as mobile phone, but still designing menu for small screen was good learning for me. We used 50inch plasma TV for the degree show, so I had to edit some footages (which I hadn’t done for a […]

Course Start

The course started from last Monday.  The first week was induction…introduction of the course,  introducing each other, tour of the school etc… Reading the syllabus, I felt sure that I would never get bored for the year. Every lecture looks interesting, they are exactly what I wanted to study  (= skills and information I need). The schedule is online,  and can check it lively and it looks we can use course wiki as well. Outside the school, the group on facebook was created and everyone is online! Ummm…the world is getting so convenient now…. The presentation each member gave using website contents was so interesting as […]

How different we are.

So, I’m attending the language class at the moment prior to the main course which starts in October. I had been told that all students would be Asian. But actually we are such a multi-cultural class. Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Brazilian, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Colonbian, Spanish, Estonian, Dutch…I am only Japanese in the class. It’s fun, but all communication is only English…sigh. Well but the class is really fun. We can share variety of stories from variety of countries. The subjects are different as well such as fashion, fine art, graphic design, media, product design etc. Naturally everyone looks to get […]

Enrollment

Enrollment??? Sounds like rolling around… It means registering to the university??? Anyway, the language course started at 28th July, but the first day was not something like “announcement of classes”, but actually only for enrollment. (That’s rather surprising as it’s not like this in Japan.) I went to UAL in Bond Street. It should have finished in 10mins or so because what I needed to do was only handing in papers… but there were few people compared to the number of students. Everything goes slowly in England. After that, I also went to the Japanese consulate in Piccadilly. I went […]

Elephant & Castle (Day 5)

The fifth day. Finally checking out from the hotel, I went to the hall of residence. The area I will live in is just 5 mins away from the university. Which means, I don’t need to spend much money for transport! And I can oversleep in the morning! Yes! I was told that the area was a bit dodgy… but actually I was so surprised that there are so many people from other countries. Is it really the U.K. here? Well, that’s not a problem…but I didn’t like the scenery so much…and there is a big round-about just in front […]
