The Penultimate Home Stretch

Hi all. As of writing this post, I am completing the first of the last 5 weeks of my second last semester of my final year in my degree/diploma.

Say that 5 times fast.

In any case, with the last part of this semester coming up, it’s really evident that time flies in this program. The past year and a chunk of my time in Creative Communications has been a blur — it all just seems to kind of melt together. Good times, bad times, stress times, hilarious times — it’s just one amorphous blob of formative experiences. A couple fun assignments will wrap up 2011 academically for me and it’ll be great — a nice bow to a marvelous year.

After I wrap up this semester, it’s off to a 3 week work placement, and I believe I’ve been placed in a corporate PR environment. I won’t let the hat off the cat just yet, but stay tuned to see just where I end up and how it’s going. I’m excited about it, and want to see how it compares to my vision of the working world. Probably something like Flushing Meadows from Simpsons, but less toilets. Maybe just the music from the scene (check it out below — sorry about the quality, YouTube has been taking down the best of clips these days).

That’s the story, morning glory. Tune in next week to for a review on how my standup set went at CreComedy night on November 7th at Rumor’s.

Till next time,

Mike

P.S. With some quick Google-fu, I was able to track down the song used in the scene. If any company takes over the world, I hope it’s them. So helpful.
