I don't know whether lots is happening but i definitely feel like i don't have time to be idling away for the weeks to come. I started my internship and it's actually amazing. There's a job out there that is exactly what i want to do as a job. For the two days that i worked there this week i didn't even feel like it was work. I didn't even take my break because it just felt like me sitting down, chilling and writing some blog entries and essays about things. Given the things i have to write about aren't what i usually would write about, but this isn't even an issue. I like how i'm presented with these really novel things i have to elaborate on. I surprise myself at how much i can come up with!
I'm starting to learn that i really love Business. I love work and i love how when i go to work, all my feelings, emotions and baggage just get left at the door. Business is all about showing off your skills and your competency for me. I feel like as soon as i enter the doors of my internship office, everything is put on hold and for 8 hours i simply devote myself to showing how i can do everything and more for my bosses and managers. I love the objectivity of business. That it's only got a few goals and the main one is to take over the world and to be number 1. That's the goal of all businesses and i love that.

It's really scary / exciting when i have to work with ' clients ' and make happen what they want content wise for their blogs / webpages. It makes me feel really important when i think of the word, " Client " and the fact that my job is to deliver them what they want and need for their business, writing wise.  I'm finding that at my internship, i can also switch on and off the kind of writer that i have to be almost immediately. It's really easy. During real life, i'm one kind of writer and during work time i'm another. They intertwine sometimes but mostly, they are two separate identities. Other than that, i've been appointed as the features writer for Brisbane based journal Lyre. I'm pretty excited to start and i feel really good about it since my editor has made an exception for me because originally the advert said you had to be from Brisbane. It takes so long for things to happen. I wish things would happen quicker. If i had it my way, i'd have so much more things published in different journals already.
