Environmental Journalism Part I

Hello bloggers and journalists,

Well, I've started this new module called "Environmental Journalism" a while ago. It made me think a lot while I was researching a bit for interesting topics. There is so much to write about and it is such an important message that needs to be out there. People need to be informed on the horrendous development of melting ice on the north pole. It is so sad. There's already a vast number of journalists who write about this specific issue that mankind has to deal with. I'm really happy that I get to take this class. It might help and form my later career. I really think this is the most important journalistic topic right now.

Last week's exam went well! I got a B+ which is totally great for me.

Well, the internship is getting closer and closer... I'm still very excited!

I hope to receive some interesting comments from you. Choose any topic!

For more, stay tuned until next week.

Yours,
Katy

Working and studying

Dear Journalism friends,

this has been quite a productive week for me. I'm almost finished with the Media Journalism Module. So I will be able to take the test this Friday! There is just a few more pages I need to read. Tomorrow, I will rest a bit and then on Friday is the big day.

I will officially start my internship on June 1. I'm really excited about it! I will keep a "blog diary" during this period of time, hopefully with daily updates (if I have enough time). That also means, I will be taking a week off from work (no big deal).

After Friday, I will start with a new module called "environmental journalism" which is really interesting as well. Not too thick and I think great to read! Lots of really interesting exercises, too.

What else is new? Well, I've been thinking about this whole "working and studying" thing a bit. People at work keep asking me about it (especially the question "How do you do it?"). It's not always easy, dependent on what the day is like, what my work schedule is and what kind of module I'm reading. But that's what makes it so interesting: You never know what you're gonna get (it's like a box of chocolates). But I know that it is something really special that I do for myself and no one else.

Any thoughts on that topic?

Stay tuned for next weeks entry.

Media Journalism

Hello friends and friends of Journalism,

Still very happy about how things are going for me right now. Media Journalism is really interesting and I'm about half way through the book now. I've been skipping a few of those exercises in between and just tried to solve them in my mind rather than writing it all down. Some exercises are really easy to solve for me so that shouldn't be a big deal for prep time for the exam.

My plan is to take the exam next week Friday, so I have about a week to finish the book. Let's see how that goes. Luckily, my weeks haven't been too busy.

Still really happy about the internship! I called them to find out that it's up to me when to start the internship, quote "You can come in any time". It's only going to be for a week, and that's okay. They seem really friendly on the phone. I think I might intern after this module is done. :)

Well, that is all for today. Since I have a terrible headache, I better get some rest, so I can study a bit more tonight.

Let me hear your thoughts on Media Journalism!

Happiness

Hello everyone,

I am so happy -- I received the results for my PR module and can't be any happier. Also, I got some answers back from PR agencies regarding an internship. I might be able to start one in September this year. Hooray! I've been jumping of joy in my apartment all day -- I hope my neighbors won't be upset.

I few days ago, I started a new module book, "Media Journalism". Since I had no idea what exactly Media Journalism entails, I decided to study this topic. So far, I've read a good amount of pages. It's an interesting and very current topic to be aware of. I'm glad to be reading this book. It's quite long with about 62 pages so it'll take be a few weeks to finish this time. Especially since my work schedule has gone a little mad this month. I hope it'll slow down during the summer months so I can study some more.

I'm really happy right now. Everything works so well, I'm getting fantastic grades, work flows and I will possibly be interning this fall! These studies brought me nothing but good things. :)

Stay tuned for next week's entry.

Yours,
Katy
