About me:

My first memory of school is walking into my classroom on the first day of prep, clutching my parents as they led me in.

I learn/work best when under pressure, at the last minute. I also work better when listening to certain types of music, mostly instrumental/drone type of stuff that helps me get into a certain zone, while not distracting me too much.

My worst trait is I get very frustrated when stressed. Even though I tend to work better under pressure, I can often annoy people around me.

My best trait is: I've spent about ten minutes trying to think of an answer to this question, but for some reason I cannot think of a single thing.

 I often wonder what people around me are thinking.

The last possession I would ever give up is my Guitar. I spend the majority of my time playing it, and I would honestly feel a little lost about it.

This term I am looking forward to going on trails in the city

An image I would put on a post card for Melbourne is: A photo of one of my favourite stores, the Music Swop Shop.

 If I could sit next to any Melbourne person on a tram: I don't actually know many famous people from Melbourne, so I guess I would choose one of my friends.

 If I could invite any three people to have dinner with me, I would invite Elliott Smith, because I think he is a musical genius who died much too young, Friedrich Nietzsche, because I think he would be absolutely fascinating, and Phil Elverum, because I am a huge fan of his music, and I would love to talk about how he created some of the sounds on his music.

Describe Melbourne in three words: Fun, Fashionable, and Vibrant

    Maybe your best trait is modesty? Or you are probably being too hard on yourself. Great to read this and get to know you a little more, Aleksei. Remember to include more images in your posts in the future to engage readers with multimedia.

My statement was: Video games are purely for entertainment, they are not art. Our group disagreed with the statement. Our first point was the video game, "Minecraft". In it, the player can create whatever they want out of the wide array of materials and pieces that the game offers. Many sculptures and works of art have been created inside the game, and it offers a creative outlet to many players. The second piece of evidence we decided on was the graphics in the video game "Crisis 3". A lot of effort and imagination has gone into designing the landscapes and models, and they could all stand alone as art pieces if displayed. Our third point was the game "The Witness", a game that follows a detailed narrative, with a beautiful message. All art has meaning, and good art has a message. Many games, such as "The Witness", and many more, have strong stories, meanings, and messages. Our counter argument was that when video games were first creat...
