Boring news from the nail biter (Natty)

I have started biting my nails again.

This really annoys me because it took me three very dedicated months to kick the habit in the first place and then after just two weeks at uni I’m stressing out enough over work to like, totally ruin my french manicure ya know? Haha, I am being purposefully blonde just in case I was about to inspire any hateful comments about ‘real issues’ etc etc.. But seriously… I am slightly annoyed.

The work load is getting bigger and bigger and it (stupidly) only hit me today that just because the pages in my eco history tute reading manual say ‘week 3 reading’ above them, doesn’t mean that trying to do it all on Monday night of week 3, when it’s due by Tuesday, is going to be possible. So yeah, time management is not proving to be my strongest asset so far this week.

Otherwise though this week has started well 🙂 I contacted Farrago about doing an article for the upcoming 3rd edition so am really excited about that but keep having to force myself away from my journalistic desires (ooer) to get my uni work done first. Have been worrying this week about how I’m going to (hopefully) launch my journalism career. A lot of the big papers etc offer the majority of their internships to Media and Comms students so it’s going to be harder to get in on one just by doing the BA. Still, I spoke to the careers advice team (who were very lovely btw) who suggested that, unless I wanted to switch course (which I couldn’t do until next year apparantly?), I’m best just working really hard and showing ‘drive and commitment’ with lots of extra curricular experience. Hmmm…. so, any future journalists out there, think carefully about the BA vs BA Media and Comms when you’re choosing your uni course.

Anywho, I’m off to the city to see ‘He’s just not that into you’, again. Has anyone else seen it? I think it’s FANTASTIC, but unfortunately it does mean that I can’t stay and finish my blog… I’m sure you are all totally devastated. Not. Sorry, I will be more interesting next time.. I hope.

Love, Natty x
