University Easter Update

Well it's the third week of the Easter holidays and it's weird to think I only have four more weeks left at university until that's it for another year and only one more year to go until the time comes for me to go out and find a job in the world of PR and Marketing.

I've started to think about dissertation topics but I'm keeping that one quiet until all proposals are submitted. But what I can say is it's very interesting, I'll be learning a whole new meaning to the words PR and Marketing and it's something that's hopefully contemporary enough for employers to consider giving me a job, oh, and it applies to a lot of companies/ agencies if they have retailers as clients.

So I've submitted pieces of coursework before the holidays but as of yet have no feedback from the but I have been spending some time each day going over this blog (as it is still part of an assignment) and also doing some research for another assignment due in May. I should really also crack on with some exam revision... the one thing I do not look forward to... exams! I don't know what it is- whether it's because you have to learn everything and under the immense pressure that I put on myself I tend to miss some things out or the fact that I'm so worked up that I'll not have enough time, or I'll completely miss the point of the questions... I'd take a 10,000 word essay over an exam any day for the record!

A week today I go back to university for the final four weeks (the last push)... it just doesn't feel real honestly. I've got plans for the summer mounting up already it should be amazing. I'm in the throws of arranging a selection of a couple of weeks work experience in multiple places in order to really rack up the places I can say I've been to. Although doing an internship for one company over the summer last year was great experience, I can't say I've had a variety of places I've been to just yet. I would like to go to a selection of PR, Marketing, creative, consultancy agencies and so on with different specialisms and types of clients to be able to say I know how each type of agency works.

In amongst that I have plans with friends, trips to the coast, days out with friends and family, a two week holiday to Tenerife, extra shifts at my part time job and I'm sure much more will be arranged in the coming weeks. Now is absolutely the time when I feel like everything just about falls into place!
