Fintio to JOUR1111

It has come to the end of my first semester at university. With having no expectations of how university life would be, I now know in order to succeed you must only take one week at a time and it is of the up most importance to ignore the fact that you (well I) still have seven semesters of this stressed and messed up study situation. I have never drowned in so much assessment and exams, sweated over the ridiculous amount of 'required readings' and spent all my precious money at a juice bar. I was not a Brisbane local, my town was Noosa, so when moving to a city and starting university I was constantly affected by those damn butterflies. My first JOUR1111 lecture was a lonely experience, walking into the massive lecture theatre, choosing the back seating as my preference and getting out my boo…oh that’s right, I forgot a book and pen on my first day of university…smooth Sam smooth. However after many lectures, assignment, tutorials and readings I feel comfortable with knowing what journalism is. I went though up’s and down’s wondering if journalism is the career for me, but from the week 12 lecture on ‘investigative journalism’ it excited and inspired me to pursue the tough industry of journalism.

Well until next time when you will be reading/listening to my reporting.
