So I finally accepted my offer from Laurentian University in Sudbury. I will be attending for two years starting this fall, for a B.A. in Communication Studies. This excites me so much, because it makes me one step closer to getting the job I love. Sudbury is about 6 hours away from where I live, which is super scary for me, but also exciting. I'm hoping that being far away from home helps me with my independence and also helps me to concentrate and excel in my studies. I will miss everyone, but it's time for me to concentrate on myself. I will still be blogging and adding to my portfolio while I'm there (also hoping they have a newspaper or a radio station on campus!) so that I can participate in that sort of way. This summer holds lots of opportunity as well, I am going to be volunteering for Rogers TV Kitchener, and am actively searching for a paid position for the summer (University is not cheap!!). Wish me luck, and keep following my journey, I can assure you that it will be worth it.
I am just three short weeks away from graduating at Fanshawe as well, which is super exciting. I am leaving with a Diploma in Broadcast Journalism, and I really have had a great time. I have managed to make several connections and even more opportunities have come my way. For the next few weeks I will be reporting on the entertainment beat here in London. I have a strong passion for it, so I really want to end this year with a bang. Also, applying to tons of awards for RTDNA, Fanshawe and Laurentian. Busy busy few weeks ahead of me, but hey, I'm embracing it.
I have never been more determined.
