me acting candid - this photo is my own property
My name is James Sandelance, I'm a 20 year old Creative Digital Media Student in TU Dublin Blachardstown. My hobbies include (but are not limited to):
- Photography
- Film
- Travelling
- Cooking
- Attending Music Festivals
- And, of course, Multimedia
I have just started my second year of my course and I'm excited for what is to come.
Lat year I mostly enjoyed Digital Photography, Studio Photography & Image Production and Storytelling and Narrative. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the other modules, but those were my favourites. This year I hope to improve my coding skills as I felt like due to workload, I didn't spend a fair amount of time trying to learn it. But this year there seems to be plenty of it to go around!
Like I said earlier, I enjoy cooking, I often cook dinner for the family as no one else in my house can cook very well (sorry not sorry dad). I like making Asian dishes and trying to come up with my own fusions. I like learning new things so I'm always trying out new recipes and tweaking them to my taste, unfortunately for my family I like spicy food and they do not, so some compromise is needed.
During the summer break I was lucky enough to travel to London with my dad and Berlin with 2 of my friends. I've always liked travelling and exploring new places, as well as learning about different cultures from around the world. I'm not the person to go on a drinking holiday with because you'll probably find me at the tourist information desk trying to find a museum or booking my friends on a bus tour.
My current career goals are limited as currently, I'm not very sure of what I would like to do, I have some ideas, maybe a designer, maybe a photographer. But sometimes think, why can't I do it all, which is optimistic, but when it comes to practicality, I know it's impossible to actually do everything. I know that I'm in a course that is in the area of what I'd like to do, so I better make my mind up soon.
In this module I'd like to improve my coding skills, learn how to create a somewhat decent game, and learn some new things I didn't know before. I tend to go into things without expectations and allow for each topic to either excite me or terrify me beyond belief. Overall I'm optimistic about my Introduction to Multimedia module and can't wait to see where the year takes me.
