Plots, Ideas, Thinking Aloud
Hello Flist, I've been a bit silent recently, have been working on lovely school work (Heimat, Heimat usw), and spending time with the parentals.
Anyway I have been day dreaming and plotting and researching and plans for that vast expanse of Post Graduation known as 'Real Life' is looming.
I'm tempted to stay in Nottingham, I know the town, they have a Remploy agency and I can partly use the Uni societies to aide my social life.
Before I do this however I want to go on a cross country gallavant in Canada. My best friend from home is in Vancouver and I want to see my pals in Montreal too. If I have enough money for the Air Fare then I want to Greyhound(ISIC card FTW) and couch surf between Mtl and Vancouver via the Calgary Stampede. This would mean missing the graduate ceremoney though :P
OTOH I'm tempted to try and get a foot in the door at the BBC in London by doing work experience in the News section of the World Service or Radio 4, I seem to be just the kind of person they want. This however means finding stupidly cheap accomodation in London for about a month as the experience is unpaid. Of course it could mean that I get a job in London, then I'd be able to pay rent at least. You have to have the BBC work experience to apply for the jobs at the BBC. I could possibly stay with my uncle in Reading but I'm not sure if its too far to commute:/
If i could mix the two and do radio in Nottingham I would, but Radio Nottingham wants people who know the issues and events of the town/county well and I don't really know stuff like that.
Anyway I am unsure. I might go for the work experience just for the fun of it and then move to Nottingham, or I might get addicted and stay in London or hate it and scuttle back to Notts :P Who knows.
Further on I'd like to apply for an Msc in Creative non fiction Writing or train to become a Conservator (preferably of Natural History artifacts).
