Welcome to the 81st post on this blog and the first for two months. So happy christmas, happy new year and etc etc.
I still can't get my head around the fact that I finish Uni in around four months and then I am let out into the "real" world for a career. It doesn't seem right, I remember primary school, then secondary, then college, then Uni but soon... I have to start to plan out my life: one word = shit.
But I still have a few months to bask in the glow of being a student and its going to be a hard few months. Before christmas I handed in my portfolio and a 1,800 essay on the future of journalism and over christmas have already started work on my PA assignment and an online feature assignment. Shorthand is still coming along but has slowed down over xmas with me at 50 WAM, this is of course due to not having a 2 hour slot per day with it being hammered into my skull.
As part of the course when you go to UCLan you will do a placement in your third year. The first of mine was at a bi-weekly newspaper and I ended up with a lot of experience covering festive-related goings on but got a hatful of articles in the paper and three gold-tinted bylines!
I am now on my second placement at a local radio station on the news team (yes, I have been there before) so am getting content I wrote and clips of interviews I conducted on air. I am alos practicising reading our bulletins so I can compile a demo if needs be.
Outside of work, I went to the Oldham V Everton fa cup match and was loving it when Oldham got a shock one-nil win. Well worth the trip...just hope to beat Huddersfield in the next round!
Until I summon up the effort/desire/need to post anything on here all I have to say is have fun browsing the net, you never know what you might find ;)
