Following The Yellow Brick Road

HALLELUJAH!!

It might nearly be March, which means it might have taken me a whole 2 months to finally get inspiration for a blog in 2015 but better late than never. And, it’s a positive one.

Well, at least I felt 100% positive and empowered yesterday when I thought I’d write this but I got super busy and never got time.

Anyway, yesterday my career path was kinda unblurred (is that a word?) a little and my eyes opened and I made a conscious decision with where I wanna go after uni.

So I’m currently studying television production in Brighton and it’s a foundation course which, at this present minute I am so happy it finishes this year.

January modules and feedback and lack of submitting modules getting no feedback and a big fat capped mark which was seriously not my fault has definitely disrupted my flow. I can finally see the end of living in Hastings which means I can go home to my family and friends who are positive influences. I can see a short term plan of getting out of my mammoth overdraft debt.

I’m not there yet but I’m getting there. I can see the closure and this time I’m running towards it.

I have been so busy with my documentary and my summer project (which will be revealed really soon and I want you to support it because it’s gonna be ace) and finding work placement and my OB production. There’s loads. My last post of 2014 said I was going to concentrate on where I wanna go in my life and I’m doing it. I’m creating my own doors to open and that is the best part.

So anyway, all of that was probably just babble but you loved it. Shush.

So yeah, although I’m studying television, I have been unclear about what part of television I want to go into if any. Or if I want to go into a more general area of the media. I just had so many ideas that I didn’t know what to choose or what ideas would work. But at least I had ideas.

We had a talk from a guest lecturer yesterday. Lucy Greenwell, an audio producer who has worked for The Guardian and the BBC as an audio producer told us how she got into the industry, the projects she has worked on, the experiences and the stories she told.

She told real peoples stories. She gave the best advice. She basically made me want her job.

And I’m gonna make sure I get something like it! I’m so determined.

For Lent, I have decided that instead of giving up something, I’m gonna do something. My challenge is to do some form of exercise everyday. I’m also trying to eat healthier, which is difficult. It is making me a lot happier knowing I’m doing something good and I’m pushing myself the little bit extra. No pain no gain bitches.

 I’m actually really into this exercising malarkey but I’m not gonna scream about it everyday.

Note to Katie Hopkins: Healthy eating isn't hard to do because I’m a lazy buggar and just want to eat chicken nuggets and chocolate all day. It’s hard because the amount of healthy food I can buy on my student budget is literally less than half of the fatty foods I could buy. Therefore, all the obese people you are hating on are obese because they are poor and can’t afford to feed their families sustainable meals on a wage that is less than the living wage. Not everybody can make a career out of spouting horrible offensive BS. XO.

So to round off. I started this blog post with high expectations of writing something interesting. Got half way through and realised I was fully blabbering, decided I was going to carry on telling you all about how great my life is becoming and noticed you probably don’t care, then ended abruptly. Like this.
