So…here I am again. Filling you in on the life of one particular LPD student. This week has had us thinking about the future. The future of being in a career, hard to imagine but I guess I have to start thinking about it sometime, and I suppose now is a good time.

| MMU Careers Website |
We had a talk from the careers department in our lecture this week. Who knew our careers website contained so much?! I’ve made a few visits to the site since the talk, it has been very useful and I will definitely be making more use of it in the future. Apart from that I’ve been making progress on building up my portfolio and checking out the prospects website. I remember setting up an account on the website years ago but never really knew it would come in handy and it was interesting to see how my motivations, skills and desired careers had changed. As a result of all the career talks in the air at the moment my mind is now full of questions I’m asking myself. What I want to do? What I need to do? Can I actually do it? Will I want to do it in a couple of years’ time? What’s the best way to get there? Etc.
This week has also been pressured due to my project proposal having to be handed on Friday. My final year project is on Shock Advertising and anti-smoking campaigns, it’s really quite interesting to find out how adverts work and affect people, seeing as they’re absolutely everywhere in this modern day and age. So the majority of my time not in uni has been spent trying to perfect that…750 word count was nowhere near enough!! (Especially when my first draft contained nearly 1,300!!) Getting rid of words is not as easy as it sounds, but I always seem to have to do it when it comes to writing essay and reports…I guess I just have too much to say J
On the other side of my uni life, this Wednesday was the first football match of the season. With one of the games being cancelled due to the wonderful weather (not) we had the previous day, the whole of the 1st team went to support the 2nd team in Chester. Standing on the side-lines cheering on the girls felt good…it’s been a while. We ended up winning 5-0 (thanks to our supporting skills of course J )!! What better way to start the season?? Probably without the broken nose of a fresher in the first game of the season…OUCH.
Now at the end of the week and I’ve treated myself to a day of nothingness…well kind of, some work did manage to work its way into being done. After a night out with the girls and a week full of assignment-ing it has been well deserved, even if I do say myself. I wonder what academic antics I’ll get up to next week…
…watch this space…That is all.
