hello, 2009.
could you be any busier?
my schedule is as follows:
tuesday: 11am-1pm Career Prep
1pm-2pm Journalism Then & Now (lec)
3pm-6pm Photography & the Real
weds: 9am-10am Journalism Then & Now (sem)
thursday: 1pm-3pm Genre & Cultural Context (scrn)
3pm-4pm Genre & Cultural Context (lec)
4pm-6pm Genre & Cultural Context (sem)
friday: 9am-1pm World Cinemas
i'm not entirely sure i can handle two 9am starts a week, plus two days of all-day lectures until 6pm. one of them is all in the same room! this is insanity. why do i bite off more than i can chew? i could have forgone one of these modules, but no. i must do the absolute maximum. i suppose the upside is, it means i have room to fail one module. i think.
on top of this of course i have work, which actually isn't looking too busy.... they certainly aren't doing their utmost to pull acts in. maybe there'll be a steady influx as time goes on but for now the calendar is looking pretty spread out. odd. i need to find some work experience this year though, so it's kind of okay. i'm wondering whether it's acceptable to ask someone i worked with last month as a contact for this. we met in an awkward circumstance, and only worked together once after that. he's one of the VIPs in a rather large merch company, which also happens to be one of slipstream's rivals. part of me is thinking, if you don't ask, you don't get; and i should be taking advantage of every contact i manage to make in this business. the other side is wondering whether it is socially acceptable to do so, or merely incredibly embarrassing.
aside from getting work experience, i suppose my 'resolutions' will be to...
1. lose weight. an ever-present goal
2. try and pay off overdraft before loan comes in (not entirely possible as it goes); control finances better.
3. try and save enough for trip to AUSTRAAALIAAA!
4. attend lectures, research, learn, and start essays at least 48 hours before they are due.
i hope i manage it all.
