This is the End, My Friends

Wow, so here it is: my actual last post of the semester. Huh.

In all, I'd say I'm definitely happy with how my podcast turned out (and kind of ridiculously proud that I managed to wrestle Audacity into submission... I know, doesn't seem like a hard thing to do since it's supposed to be the Microsoft Word of recording software, but me and technology don't often get along, so I take my victories where I can get them). Probably if I had had the time to go back and do something differently, it would've been to try and sound a bit more lively in the podcast recording. I think I was so caught up in concentrating on enunciating all my words properly and speaking slow enough that it wouldn't all mesh together when played back that I didn't pay enough attention to my tone. I don't think it was too bad, but it probably could've stood to have a bit more pep in it.

One piece of advice for the newbies coming in: DO NOT PROCRASTINATE IN THIS COURSE. If it's the same next year as this year, there is a lot that needs to go into this final podcast, for the whole process. Research and nail down your topic early, figure out how to use the software as soon as possible, and tackle it head on. Just, keep on top of things from the get-go, and you'll do fine.

So I guess this is it for me, then - best of luck to everyone finishing up, and adios. It's certainly been an experience.
