Docklands+Reflections

= Ashley's Reflection- = = ﻿ = = Charlie's Reflection- = ===My time in the CBD has been quite fun, with many excursions and activities to keep us occupied. Some of the really exciting excursions were: the visit we had to the Eureka Tower, the Botanic Gardens, going to the Ice House, the Crown Casino and the River Cruise on the Yarra River. I found these were great excursions because I had never been to most of them. They got us out of the daily routine of constant work. For the first two and a half weeks I was collecting notes on the history, attractions, docks and other dockland related facts. I was getting into a pretty good rhythm of approximately three pages of notes a day. When I finally started to write up the notes in my wiki pages I found it a lot easier than surfing the net for each topic as I was typing them. This was a new strategy for me because in the last wiki we had I was finding things out as I was typing it. This is very inefficient. We divided the pages equally, three each. I had finished my pages in the last week and Ashley wasn't far behind. Catching the train every day was a great experience for me because I never needed to use them previously. Mostly I had to figure out to use the system myself. If there was anything I could do differently it would probably be to go on more mini excursion to get more 'hands on' knowledge and to maybe use my time a bit more efficiently. It got quite stressful for me when I had to just sit in a chair with a laptop and work constantly; the breaks we had were a great relief. Over all I had a good time in the CBD, especially sharing it with friends and learning about the city.===
