It's been a long time since I posted in this blog, but it's been summer so I've been to busy to post, and at other times to bored to have anything decent to post about.
Anyway...
Earlier this month I did a week at a newspaper, my local The Whitehaven News. It was actually a lot of fun, and it was good experience which I was in total need of. I got a few things published (which I'll post links to at the bottom of the post) which my Dad is very excited about. Every time someone comes round, he gets the clippings out! But I've hidden them now, so he won't be able to find them next time :)
But it did make me realise that perhaps journalism is something I might want to go into. The original plan for uni was to actually do a journalism degree, but after freaking out in case I didn't want to be a journalist, I settled with the more useful and less scary English Language. But now I'm thinking I want a bit more experience in that field, so hopefully something will come up this year. I know I'm doing creative writing as one of my modules which may include some article type assignments, but truth be told, I'm just excited to get away from grammar for a bit! I still don't know what a transitive verb or an adverbial clause is. I mean, probably I could make a guess, but it will be no where technical enough for it to be right :D So that's why I'm excited for creative writing, there's a bit more freedom. And hopefully, there won't be too much, let's share with the rest of the group sessions.
So yeah, summer is coming to an end, less than a month until I'm back at uni (it's welcomed! I'm so bored with home now!). Oh, and as promised those articles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
