Once again the studious pupil!

But I’m moving up in the world.


Why hello again blog. Oh how I have missed you. It has bee a fine holiday away from you but I am eager to get stuck in where things left off.

It’s my first day in Diploma of Public Relations after finishing my Cert IV in Public Relations and it feels like I’ve never left. Difference is this time the pressure is on. I will need to push myself to be more self motivated ;) With only one day of class a week I run the risk of deciding to prioritise work over my studies. That’s ok I will just have to suffer a few more late nights clasping onto the Jelly babies and V in front of my lap top crying because “I just don’t get it.”

I am still working as a waitress but am currently undergoing a slight change in location. Victoria Station (aka my home) has closed down and will become an Italian restaurant. Change is always a good thing right? Well now I have been transferred to (A)lure. So no huge change there I guess. I’ll just have to grit my teeth and hope it doesn’t interfere with my school work too much.

As far as school goes; this semester of TAFE will, hopefully, inspire me to commit to a career path that I can get excited about. Ultimately, I plan to go to university and complete my studies of Public Relations with a Bachelor in Communication or something along similar lines. I would expect that the Diploma in PR course will prepare me for working in the world of Public Relations enough to feel comfortable to go out there without the University degree and chances are I will change my goals halfway thought the course and find some work experience that intrigues me enough to stay there for a few years. I am looking forward to working with such a close group of creative minds. I think that we will be able to develop some good campaigns and produce some successful projects. We should be able to collaborate with a study group at least once a week, so I won’t be left too much to my own devices. It’s some inspiring stuff.

Given that I can keep my school and work life in order, at some point in my life I’d like to be one of those corporate women that sticks their noses up at other people because she knows that she has made it. I like to think I am a little nicer than that and that I’d still give most people my time, but I would love to have that deep down knowledge that I’ve made it. Plus I love wearing all the sleek and professional corporate outfits. Do I see this happening over the next year? Probably not. But I would like to at least have my foot in the door to one of the places that will get me there. By next year I’ll probably still be working at Alure and starting Uni. If not I think that I would be an excellent Public Relations assistant in a big office building somewhere, on the track to success. Because you can only see that you are on your way to success-ville is by looking down at all of those people in fancy suits, sitting and their desks while marching your way to the top of the corporate ladder wearing a stylish and elegant power suit (a good salary doesn’t hurt either).
