Haiku's are fun.

I have a busy few weeks coming up. Tomorrow I am spending the day at the new Crown Woods college to do a "Day in the Life" article for SENine as well as watching a chess tournament for 5-11 year olds on Thursday afternoon and going to a poetry reading at a Primary school on Thursday night. God I am going to learn so much, maybe I will be inspired to write a haiku about board games.

Today I'll beat you,
At your thrilling chess board games...
Check Mate. Children cry.

I have a gift, I can literally do anything, from now on I will do a haiku for every blog post.

Next week I then have my weeks work experience at the News Shopper. I am looking forward to actually spending a few days learning about what I have commited myself to for seemingly the rest of my life. I think after having a look at the shorthand alphabet yesterday I need some encouragment. I don't know what to wear as all my "smart clothes" don't fit as I put on about 30 stone over exam times (I blame stress and easily attainable bacon turnovers). I don't want to buy new clothes as I would hope after Slimming World has done it's magic they would be too big. Maybe I will wear what I wore at Glastonbury?

In August I have a 'Behind the Scenes' day at the Daily Mirror, which my kindly Uncle won for me at an auction.

It is the 5th of July in the year 2011 and to be honest it is not a good time to be becoming a journalist. Today's headlines include BBC News making almost 400 of their journalists redundent while at the same time News International being brought down to it's knees due to the phone hacking scandal hitting it's peak now that News of the World has been accused of hacking Milly Dowler's phone after she disappeared. Disgusting. That is not the kind of journalist I want to be. I'd like to succeed while at the same time being able to sleep at night.

Phone hacker's scandal,
Gives journalists a bad rep...
I will not succumb.

(See, I'm a bloody poetic genius. I am going to blow those kids out of the water on Thursday and stamp on all their poetic dreams MUAHAHAHAHAHA!)
