Like living in the dark ages!

I have had a very busy festive period. In the run up to "the most wonderful time of year" I had a few university deadlines which saw me running around like a headless chicken for a few days.
I spent two weeks in early December on work placement at Lifestyle magazine based in Heaton in Newcastle. The fortnight was extremely exciting and enjoyable and reinforced my beliefs that I am taking the right path to my dream career.
During my time at Lifestyle I was lucky enough to be assigned a variety of writing pieces and received great feedback from staff. As I worked on the February edition you can expect a post all about working on the magazine then!
Despite being enjoyable it didn't leave much time for Christmas shopping - welcome to the real world!
On Monday I started a two week work placement with Accent Magazines based in Gosforth, Newcastle. All is going well so far.
Yesterday the Internet in the office was down making my research task very hard. It is scary how reliant we are upon technology these days (she says as she sits typing this post on her new iPad 2).
Being in the office of a magazine is a great experience which I am so glad I have had the opportunity to complete. It is just a shame that I have to go back to Uni - bring on the real world!
