=**Term 2**=

Week 1:
Today in the double, I learnt about how to opperate and learn what wikispace is about. By the end of the double I had gotten familiar with it.
 * Thursday 30/6/11**

Today I am thinking on what topic I'm going to do. I've decided to do this individually, as I will have to count on myself, because I will be independant, so I don't rely on others for help or doing my part of my work.
 * Week 2:**
 * Thursday 28/7/11**

Some of the topics I'm thinking on doing are:
 * Bullet for My Valentine (Band)
 * Avenge Sevenfold (Band)
 * A Day to Rememeber (Band)
 * World War 2
 * Gaming (Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas comparsion)

I'm yet to decide on what I'm going to do for a topic and I'm hoping I'll will make a decision by the end of the lesson. =**Term 3**= = = I was absent for the whole week due to the flu.
 * Week 3:**

I still had the flu pretty bad and so I was away for the whole of this week as well.
 * Week 4:**

After being away for two weeks I have finally came to a decision on what I'm going to do for a topic and that topic is a gaming topic and it's about a comparsion between to of the same games Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. I've changed my topic again to 'What Makes a Good Game" because it be easier than comparing just two games because you have to be in the mood to play the games and there are new games coming out every months. So it was easier just to do something that includes all games in general. I was away for most of the lesson this week, so I hardly got anything done. I figure how I was going to present my work. I'll do an essay explaining what makes a good game that I'll hand up to the teacher, with an demonstration of a few different games to show and as well different genres of games and how they are good games. This week I was gathering information from the internet and playing games and dropping down a few dot points on what is a good game blah blah. I'll put in the sources and dot points in next term when I have more information and an idea what is one. I was more doing other subjects work as I was falling behide in them, so I took time of this class just to catch up. As it was the last two weeks of school before end of term I was more lazy on doing work. I still found information but not much though. Forgot to take some notes down when I was playing games. Last week of term I did like absoulte no work because I was getting into holiday mode and planning stuff with mates and all that for the holidays.
