Interning, Networking, and Fourth-Wall Breaking

According to my previous post title, it was Monday when I last posted. A fair bit has happened since then. I had a bit of a rubbish day Tuesday, female troubles interrupting my first day interning at the university library (pain and such), but I eventually recovered enough to go to my first UPAD session of the new year which was pretty alright (Brechtian style performing) Got pulled into a group of guys who broke the fourth wall with a re-take of the Star Wars prequels (which I know practically nothing about). Joined in on a pub quiz with my good friend Mark Jones at James Street Vaults (unfortunately came 5th) and ended the night tired but happier than before.

Yesterday I was completing odd tasks (emails, creating LinkedIn profile, etc.) before I even got onto reading the necessary material in preparation for my Gothic module in a fortnight or so. Fortunately, I got my hands on a tub of cookie dough ice cream and a copy of Suicide Squad on DVD so that was my Wednesday night.

And now I'm here, having successfully completed not only a full day of library interning, but also my first Networking Evening as part of the Exploring Your Future in Arts and Humanities week which I have been unable to attend the majority of due to aforementioned interning. But it was so useful: I picked up tips on writing, ways to get noticed, and potential offers for future employment. Sweet! When you've had a bit of wine and a few canapes, you do really open up. I have my fingers crossed for future luck. And shall see you again soon.
