Average Joe's life

Pluto has finished for the year now and on reflection I probably should have done more with, I have got 4 or 5 articles in the paper in a year which is pretty poor...
The LEP page hasn't worked out again, made more of an effort but not going to happen yet!
Still doing the odd shift for Match but as its the end of the season that is winding down
I am neck-deep in assignment work and deadlines. I handed in an assignment (which was produce a 5 page website on dreamweaver and a newspaper page on quark among many other things) last week and working on a 2,500 word assignment for Wednesday - currently done 2,000 words so progress is being made.
I got my one and only 70% = FIRST at University yesterday in my Archeology elective! I was amazed and absolutely delighted with that result as it pulls up my average for the year as well.
The NUJ oral history project has ran into several complications along the way but should be sent off today or definetly tomorrow as the audio file won't fit in an e-mail.
I have one assigment for wednesday (as I have said) one for Friday 11th May and two LAW exams on 17th (the course exam) and 31st (the NCTJ exam) which I am metaphorically crapping myself over as I am not at all confident of a good result in them.
I still do my radio show 9-11am on the student radio station and its still going fine.
My social life is very limited at the moment due to time and effort but Pro Evo and Champ Manager (where I have Preston in the Premiership) are keeping me sane!
As I nearing the end of my 2nd year I had to choose which route I wanted to specialise in and I went for Newspapers over broadcast which was a tough decision and one I am still unsure about...
I have a placement at my local radio station for two weeks in June and two 1 week placements at the MEN in August and another local paper back home which should give me another insight into the industry I want to spend my career in.

Think thats all for now folks, there's a lot going on in my life at the moment as you may be able to tell!
