As predicted my website has turned into another never-updated-feature-of-my-life. Albeit, as always, I have an excuse: us journo students are forever busy. End of term was a mad rush to meet deadlines amidst my usual dilemma of computers crashing on me hours before deadline and my other clumsy antics.
When I launched my site, with the champagne flowing, I had the brilliant idea of revamping it all over spring break. What we didn’t realise was our exams were straight after our break and typically two and a half weeks of my holiday have already vanished – so maybe you’ll have to wait until mid-August when I plan to finally have free time.
Between recharging my batteries, chugging cups of tea, painting, reading, travelling up and down the country, and trying to walk in heels without looking drunk (failed), I have perhaps done one piece of ‘work’…
It was for UACES-Thomson Reuters ‘Reporting Europe’ award. They commissioned us to make a film from some footage, profiling the nominated candidates. You can watch it below. It’s not the most exciting piece, but when we were only given some audio with matching pictures and the odd video clip, it doesn’t seem so bad.
Anyway, I need to go and pack a suitcase again as I plan to escape the world of work for a whole week and hit the water.
Oh, and if you didn’t know – David Rennie won the award.
