Or at least it's supposed to be...
Since I broke up from University for the summer I haven't had a weekday to rest. A placement at my local commercial radio station on the news team was excellent and I learned a huge amount from both the production and technical sides.
I have recently completed a one week work ex placement with a newspaper just outside my hometown and did I lot of work for them. I re-wrote a few press releases but was busy ringing schools in the area mostly re: school leaving parties. Today, I got a phone call from a relative telling me I had a byline in the paper, top news so now I can prove more substantially that therest of the articles I did actually were written by me.
Other good news saw me pass NCTJ Law Paper one which I am delighted about because I thought there was no chance in me passing but was brought down to earth after failing paper 2.
As a member of Facebook, the social networking site, this article by reporter Tom Rawstorne got me on their this afternoon removing a few of my details. Although the old addage "It won't happen to me" especially with all the other members gets you a tad complacent. As risky as it may be though, I am going to keep mine, while in all honesty I don't really need it.
This is a link written by an unknown journalist to the latest news on the flooding with several other stories with links on the page. Where I live has not been flooded despite some heavy rain but I can't imagine what it must feel like for the relatives of people killed by the floods. Materialistic things are hard enough to take when you find your house flooded and possesions lost but too loose loved ones must be very hard.
I am going to leave now as I have shared enough thoughts on this blog.
I am off to get rid of my blocked nose, sore throat, headache and varying temperature - stupid cold.
