Blog 37! Home after a busy but rewarding week!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and you enjoyed halloween and bonfire night.

As you can probably tell from the title of this week blog I've had a good week and I am writing from home in little old Lichfield. After a busy week last week and coming out with a fairly poor story overall, I was determined to put as much if not more effort in this week and find a really good story. Lucky I did and my week was spend producing a great local story about a women who runs her own business in Carlton, Nottingham. I found the rewarding side of journalism from my experience this week, being able to share a genuinely lovely story which deserves to be heard.

I also had my first Fly FM news meeting this week which was exciting, it is due to start broadcasting again soon so keep your eyes peeled for my news slots and be sure to tune in.

The media has officially gone into christmas mode. I was listening to Scott Mills on BBC radio 1 the other day and he played 'All I want for Christmas', in my opinion christmas songs should not be played till at least December.

This weekend is set to be a good one. I am planning on meeting friends and seeing family before heading back off to Nottingham on Sunday for another week of story finding. It is unbelievable to think I have been at University for 8 weeks and I am already thinking about coming back for christmas. Time has flown by, but I feel very settled up in Nottingham, slowly getting to grips with where everything is. I have always been terrible when it comes to remembering where I am going.

Speaking of christmas, I am looking forward to it more than ever this year as I will be nice to be home, get some money behind me and spend time with friends from home. I think being away makes time with family more special and you realise what you take for granted. The main thing I am looking forward to is having my double bed back for a month.

Enough of me, time to see what's in the headlines:


  • The playstation 4 system is due for release on the 29th November, which means I only have to wait 21 days until I get my hands on it. (Exiting news for gamers) 
  • The chairwomen of Ofsted has said that two year old's should start school in order to improve their chances. Now in my opinion when you're two you should not be worrying about your 'chances', that age is all about having fun and enjoying your very early years. Leave it to the four year old's to go to school. 

That's all from me this week now just time for song of the week! It's monster by Rihanna and Eminem

I'll be back soon
