First week in school

Well. It's over (I mean the first week), so I should probably write something about it.
The school here is quite different then in Slovenia. For instance. The main goal of your study here in NZ is to create something that will help you get a job. So if you want to get a job in animation field your product should be good animation that you could show as your portfolio when you are applying for a job.
This is way different then in Slovenia. The goal there is for you to reach certain degree of knowledge when you get out of the school.
Both types of education are good by they differ quite a lot. The NZ system is much more competitive and forces you not to disclose everything that you have done by now.
However people are still happy to share knowledge of how did they achieve something,
It is really relaxed school and everyone is very kind.
We already have some assignments that we have to do this week. The school doesn't force to do much, you only have to do as much as it's necessary to pass. Every additional work is up to you. But students here are very hardworking and they want to do as much work as they can. Well, most of them at least.
This is probably because the fees here are not cheep. And if you pay for your education (it is still free in Slovenia) you will want to get out as much as you can.
