I have been quiet, haven´t I? Exams, start of the holidays and for the last month an internship at a local newspaper have been keeping me busy. I luckily did quite well in those exams, so seem to be on the way to get the grades I need for a masters in Scotland. Journalism is a fun job, but sooo tiring. Plus, since it´s a daily local newspaper, there is both time pressure and pressure to step on nobody´s toes too hard, because you will not get anywhere anymore if you piss off the wrong people. I guess there are drawbacks everywhere.
Leisurely, artsy writing ( or whatever) and photography have suffered, since I spend all day writing and photographing as a job and just want to do other stuff when I get home. *sigh*

:heart:

Woohoo
