Four Days?? My Weekend wasn't that busy!!!

I just don't understand it! I could have sworn there was supposed to be a couple of days of rest in between Friday and Monday! There's no way that I'm complaining about that fact but here I am now on.... Um.... TUESDAY!??? It can't be Tuesday already! There's just no way!! *checks watch* I swear technology is against me! Damn thing! It just can't be Tuesday! Oh well, until I manage to acquire the services of an atomic clock I think it's pointless to question the exact time and just get on with it!
Just had News Reporting; syllabus moving at a fair old lick BTW! We're into week three and now experimenting with interview technique. A great trick if you know how and something that I have been looking forward to all along. We were 'taken out of our comfort zones' and asked to pair up with someone that we haven't spent much time with. Having disappointed myself with a couple of my snap judgments of certain members of my peers, I chose Nick Shircore.
Nick is nothing like I believed him to be at the very beginning of the course. He is thoughtful, restrained and a genuinely nice guy (sorry mate! It was all me!). I want to say here and now that in the brief twenty minutes that we spent finding things out about each other I found someone that I can not only relate to and work with in the future, but someone that I would like to spend more time with in a social environment. I felt hugely vindicated after the experience because I had tried my hardest to shatter the old sage of first impressions counting double. I succeeded and feel that my liberal, laid-back approach is one that can gain momentum in any aspect of life. In a phrase: CHALLENGE THE ACCEPTED, QUESTION EVERYTHING! Who's to say that anyone who came before us had more valid ideas than us? The status-quo is something to be improved upon, not accepted as gospel! (I'm sure gospel will pop up once or twice in the future of this blog!)
Anyway, slightly bricking it this afternoon! I've got my first slot on the radio tomorrow; I'm hoping that It will go well and that it won't take me too long to ease into it and form my own style of show. Tune in tomorrow, (Wednesday) at 1100 and listen to me make a total fool of myself! ((Intranet page, Bottom left: RadioWave!)) But seriously guys, if there are any issues that you want to raise or any requests for music I'm all ears! I want to try and make my show as interactive as I possibly can! I think I'm aiming at a cross between Jo Whiley, Zane Lowe and Jeremy Vine! Sound impossible? I hope not!!!!!
