Crikey! Two Posts in One Week!

It's been a very productive day today and thought that I shouldn't lose my flow before I go home... Yes! That's right! I'M STILL IN THE NEWSROOM! Amazing!
Well this morning started with an over-active organisational gland! Got out of bed a bit late and the day didn't look too promising, but upon finding that my Audiences & Genres group weren't meeting until 12 I took the extra hour to get well and truly ready for the day. I spoke to my future landlord and organised the next step in the process and answered some emails.
Upon arriving at college I realised that because of the early hour and the prospect of getting carried away with work I decided to goto admissions first to get my notice of enrollment for my UN internship application. It was then straight off to the office to see Jason about my feature that still hadn't materialised out of the million or so foggy thoughts in my brain.
Jason and I decided that a three-pronged approach was called for with decending levels of challenge. The first option was a Cornish skew on the impact of Gordon Brown's premiership which was discarded because of the difficulty of getting reasonable quotes from London. The second option was a response to a recent documentary about the rural decline seen in Britain and specifically the closure of a Cornish school. The third option was a re-working of an article in the current issue of the music magazine; an expose of the lack of local support for Cornish music talent.
I decided that the second option was the most likely and got to work deciding who to call and what to ask. At One o'clock Adrian's design lectures started and I forced myself into magazine mode and finished my feature on 'Green College Falmouth?' and then set to trying to finish my news story about the Climate Change Conference. At Four, prompted by a swift reply from Royal Mail Group, I realised that I should really start getting quotes for this Rural Decline article and rang Cornwall County Council.
And so, here I am at one of the faceless, Bowie-esq computers in the Newsroom looking forward to hugging Katy and eating some good grub!
A good evening to you dear void, speak to you soon!

FINALLY GOT THE PROOFS!!!

WOW!!
Walking back from the radio station this morning and just popped in to check my post... and there it was!!! The Brown Package I have been waiting for!
Grrr,Grrr! Magazine took a HUGE leap forward with the proofs contained in that buff envelope!
The reason why it's taken so long to get to this stage is that I really wasn't happy with the quality of the first version. I'd learned so much about design and the like between finishing the first version and getting it to print that I felt I could do so much more with the material and needed to bring a lot of it up to date!
So NOT LONG NOW!! I've given the go ahead to print and should have it on shelves in a week or so!!!!

SO EXCITING!!!
