I found this image for infidelity. It took me a while to understand what it was supposed to mean and what relevance it had to the debate. But i now understand it....Do You? Feel free to mail me if you have any questions about it, or the point I'm trying to make by using it.

I couldn't really find any good images for 'masturbation'. Well, when i say i couldnt find any good images, i dont mean i couldn't...well...you know...suitable...erm...not pornographic...i wanted something relevent. Thats what i'm trying to say. I could have just put some porn up for the men (and women..if they're that way inclined) to gasp at, but decided instead to put a link in to a site which sums everything i want to add on the subject up in a short article. The Masturbation Page
Wow, i've finally found out how to get my pictures viewed. How in touch with technology am i? This is the image i wanted to attach to my 'Smoking' blog. I think its good because it depicts what you get with smoking. I beleive everyone has the right to choose but I know i'd be thinking of quitting if i saw this image.
Don't worry, it's not disgusting. Just the hard facts! Thats me all over, a man of substance!

I've really enjoyed reading 'Jemmas' blog all the way through and her entry about 'Panic Blogging' couldn't be more true. Everyone has indeed realised that the shit has hit the fan and its marking week! None more so than me. What the hell have I been doing for the past three months?
*Just as a side note: Is that really how you spell your name, 'Jemma'. Never heard it like that before....interesting.

This is my blog that finally gives me a chance to say what i think about the course and wraps everything up in a nice package. I've just turned 19, I'm studying 'Creative and Professional Writing and Film Studies' for my combined degree. Thats all the boring facts out the way!
Firstly, the 'Bad' points. I beleive that the course is very laxidasical and doesn't run strict enough guidelines about assignments and work in general. There have been many times 'ive felt i dont really know what im supposed to be doing. I dont mean to an extreme extent, but perhaps maybe the course was a little too easy going. Thats really all i can think of. I know thats a little disapointing seeing as we've almost been conditioned to be cold blooded, ruthless people over the course of the module.
I really enjoyed the field trip we took to Alton Towers. I know that sounds a really obvious point but it really pulled many of us together as a group and i know i cemented one frinedship out of that outing. I also like the idea that we are all tied together by these, 'blogs' and to be able to constantly come back and write our thoughts on lectures and the issues discussed is something quite different. I like how the course relies a lot on the students being free thinkers and encourages independent thinking, and in that respect has made this my most stimulating course.
The issues we've dealt with could have gone horribly wrong and left many people offended and shocked, but i have to say i've been mightily impressed. When i heard we were going to be having a lecture on, 'Masturbation' i didn't really know what to expect, but Mark (I can call him that, because we're all mature free-thinkers) dealt with the topic with a pinch of salt and everyone had a good laugh and put their own 'unique' views forward. I also have to mention the lecture on, 'Smoking'. I have to admit i've forgot the man who took the lecture but he was hilarious, (in a bumbling Hugh Grant sort of way). The thing that encapsulated the whole course perfectly though, has to be the screening of, 'Kids'. I really didn't think much could shock me, but that film did. To see people actually get up and leave through disgust, was something i'd never seen in a cinema before. Good work 'Being Bad'!
I really liked all the lecturers on the module. Kevin, was a little scary the first time i saw him but turned out to be very nice and extremely helpful. Mark constantly made me laugh, though sometimes when he wasn't trying to! But he explained blogs to me, when i had no idea what to do, so i'm in his debt. What can i say about Jackie, having had her for nearly all my modules, i have to credit her for being so laid back but still being an excellent lecturer. She's extremely funny and her talks are always something special, and she's always approachable.
I think i've done enough sucking up, so i'll move on!
I would definately recommend the course to any first year students as it introduces you to everything thats expected of you at University. Things such as independent working and thinking, as well as not really being too tough on the workload front. I don't think i'll bother with the follow up course, because i don't think lectures should be as fun as these have been, but i suppose i could persuaded.
I really enjoyed the fact that the course drew on a number of subjects and skills and asked you to incorporate them into this one module. It was also interesting to meet people studying different subjects and modules and seeing what they thought about different issues.
Finally, I'd like to emphasise how much i've enjoyed the course and believe it has helped me get started on the long road towards my degree.
