The Final Hurdle!

It's been three and a half years! Today marked the first day of my last semester in college. The final hurdle has begun.

3 essays, 2 exams (hopefully only 1 - this has TBC), 1 presentation, my thesis and I am done.
Written down like that in a tiny sentence, it doesn't look like much - but as many of you will know, there will be a lot of blood, sweat and tears expensed before May 31st.

My thesis is based on Victorian Literature - which I am very excited about writing. This will be my very own piece of published, bound work. Of course this is the first year my college has decided to have us electronically submit the thesis - but I will bind it and have it on my shelf. To hopefully be the first of many published pieces...  

A gal can dream 'write'?

Contemplating Abroad

Well, it's finally here... I'm about to begin my final year of college, after three years studying part-time I'm simply itching to get into an internship next summer and spend some time doing what I love... Writing! And endless possibilities are popping into my head... So which destinations are on my list.

I would simply love to go to New York, and USIT have partnered with the US government to allow graduates entry into the US for 12 months to work! Wouldn't that be a dream to get back there - roll on 2015!

However as I finish college May 2014, I'm looking for some outage straight away! So I'm thinking initially London or Edinburgh as it's close enough to home if it doesn't work out (and for graduation in November).

My ideal is for an internship with Glamour Magazine which is based in London, but I've applied for several others also. From there I'd love to get into a publishing house - but we'll see how that pans out. I was accepted for an internship with Harmonia - publishers of Irish Tatler and U Magazine - last summer, but was unable to take it up at that point because I work full time. I'm hoping to take that up summer 2014 (Fingers crossed). I was also published in the 2013 readers issue of U magazine, which you can check out here.

So for now I continue to blog and dream of abroad. Stay tuned.
