Classes and Trips

Random Fact: "Boxing Day is celebrated the day after Christmas and it was originally used by the wealthy who would give their help gifts/food that was left from Christmas."

Here's all the work that I have due by the end of the semester: 4 papers, a presentation comparing "Friends" to "Two Pints of Lager", a 3 minute film, a television studio project, and now you can add producer of a radio show to the list. It sounds like a lot of work that is due within the next two weeks, but I think my groups and I can pull it off if we work together. This could be a problem in one of my classes, but I'm not going to worry about it.

These projects have been keeping me busy over the weekends, so I haven't got the chance to travel as much, but I hope to start traveling some more after all of this is over. I can no longer fly over to Ireland like I originally planned, but I might be able to go back to Edinburgh with a friend of mine. We have also talked about going to Middlesborough to help them prepare for a wedding in Scotland. I was invited to go, but it's on June 26th and my grandmother is making a long-distance trip to come see us before then, so I need to go home early. I haven't seen her in almost a decade, so I definitely need to make sure I get home by then.

Regardless of all the work being due almost the same week, I will admit that this has been the best semester ever. The classes were exciting and it wasn't just theory, but it actually taught me how to use the equipment and some of the skills needed in order to make a film, television news programme, and radio show. I can now take this experience with me and not feel like a stranger when I try to apply for a Master's or a job within the world of media.
