Yes, it is that time again when I publish the occasional post to share my thoughts on the world wide web looking at what I am doing nowadays.
The answer is revising for my final exam - which is 8 days away (eek!) and if I don't pass it second time around it's either re-take third year or quit Uni without graduating - hopefully it won't come to that. If I pass it may lead to me taking the NCTJ in PA and Newswriting in December(?) as I already have 90WAM shorthand and Law.
My holiday is only 10 days away so that will be a good break but I find out if I have passed my PA exam the day after I get back so I will be on edge them final few days of a lads holiday - not exactly what I had planned in the summer of 2008.
As I have been revising for my exam my job search has been put on hold and so has my Australia trip. Hopefully, if I pass then graduate then I can go to Australia early 2009 and get a job in journalism when I get back home.
However, I have not just been revising I am a sports writer for two websites - one where I focus on Football and one where I write about Cricket.
I am enjoying writing still but despite doing a newspaper route final year at University my attention has turned to radio at the moment as I am thoroughly enjoying covering a few events/news stories for a local community radio station and I have my own show which I present looking back at the week's news which is invaluable experience for me and I am also enjoying it which is what life is supposed to be about isn't it?!
On a side note having problems with Google Analytics - it is supposed to tell me how many visitors my blog has and where they are from etc etc and I used to have a decent sense of pride seeing this was being viewed sometimes in double figures per week! Alas, now it says no-one is visiting ever but the status still says it is receiving conversion goals but it could be a problem with the tracking code as I am not sure whether I am adding it correctly or not to the page. If anyone has any help please share or any other tracking software I can use, share it with me if you would be so kind.
Until (probably) after my exam/holiday and result of exam I bid everyone good day.
