I'm not going to lie to you, this semester has been tough in terms of work. I don't know why, because it's not like I've had LOADS to do. I think it's probably due to the fact that things have taken a lot more effort than I expected, and thanks to my ever changing mind, I'm never able to feel comfortable with an idea. This came into effect this semester when I kept changing my ideas on types of news stories to do.
Today was the hand-in for my last Theory and Practice assignment. These assignments have been great fun, because they've meant going out there and getting a story, which is exactly the type of job I want to go into. But to say they've been easy would be telling a lie, because they haven't. I've had to send loads of emails, speak to loads of people and even go to places where I didn't think I'd end up. But this isn't me complaining, it's me actually reflecting on how worthwhile all this has been.
The final assignment meant putting together a news feature, which probably required the most hard work out of the three assignments given. I did in total six interviews, some taking a lot of time to arrange, and writing the feature took over a week and a half. But today at 3pm, I handed it in complete.
To hand that assignment in was a big relief, and a big weight off my shoulders. Now, only two assignments left to finish, and an exam on Monday, and then it's time for...you guessed it...CHRISTMAS!
