Week Seven Text Blog Post Entry Five -My Break

I obtained a lot of time to study in my break. Indeed, I needed some extra time to cover my past lectures. As I commenced the course 2 weeks late, it was difficult for me to cath up with my class appropriately. In addition, I was not able to adjust myself with my classmates due to my limited knowledge relating to this course. For this reason, that study break was very important for me and it really helped me a lot. I managed to make the most use of time in my break. Since the break, I have been able to maintain regularity with my course. Furthermore, April 14, was our 'National New Year's Day'(we call it 'Bengali New Year's Day' or 'Pahela Baisakh'). We all Bangalees who are living in Auckland gathered together on that day at a Hall behind Mount Roskill Community Library and celebrated our 'National Day' lively.

Last but not least, I would like to leave a comment about my break- "it was great".

Oral Blog Entry-A Diploma lecture 1 (week 5 Finances & Budgeting)

On March 27, Annette who came from the Unitec Student Funding centre gave us a lecture about how we can manage and arrange our finanaces during our study period.

At first she told us, we have to create a budget to manage money and list income & expenses so that we can adjust our budget. After that she described us how we can increase our income such as student loan, awards, scholarships, grants & job. Then she gave us some tips to reduce our expenses for instance student banking packages, avoid using credit card, student discounts, buy second-hand textbooks etc.

To conclude, i would like to leave a comment on Annette's lecture that I got full useful information about how to manage and arrange my fund in the right way from "her lecture".
