Another day 1 :)

It's been 10 days since my last post. I kinda expected it from myself I guess. I knew tht once I'd come bak to chennai, my blog posts would drastically reduce. But oh well, here I am once again typing furiously at 20 minutes past midnight!

I've got news!! I'm working part time for a news website now. I approached them yesterday after some nudging from my Head of Department and guess wht? I got the job!! My first official job where I'm actually gonna be getting paid! I've imagined this day soo many times in my mind-telling people I've got an actual job and working for someone and doing something useful with my time! And now it's finally happening.

Its gonna be hectic though. I'll have to go for an assignment after college everyday for the first one month! And then, they'll decide if they want me to hang around, and I will have to decide if I do wanna hang around!

But still, its gonna be exciting, and pretty hectic with college too! I guess I'll be fighting with time to meet all my deadlines. I'm gonna be living a life of constant pressure and deadlines for the next one month. I wanted more to do, and I've got it now! I'm just hoping its what I want and tht I dont collapse under all the pressure ;) Nah kidding! Gonna be exciting and I'm looking forward to the stress and the tension. Will probably make me feel like a real journalist!

Today was my first assignment. Heritage Center and a Live Phobia Cure Event. It was pretty interesting and fun to attend. I wouldn't say I leant anything, cuz frankly, I dont think I did. But I did enjoy the way the host kept the crowd entertained and excited the whole 2 hours! He was interesting to listen to :)

And the best part? I met PRINCE today! He smiled at me and asked me where I was from and stuff like that! During the whole event, we met each others' eyes and smiled often- probably cuz we were among the very few press people there at that time! He was sweet! Totally unlike what I'd expected and what I'd heard about him! It was nice meeting him!

I'm done with ma report and I've mailed it to ma boss. Hope things go okay as its ma first assignment as such! Keeping ma fingers crossed :)
