Once a Reader, Always a Reader



Not much is going on with me right now, but I am reading a really good book. It's a story within a story within a story...Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. My Tuesday night ended up being absolutely fantastic--Marty came with 3 of his friends, and 5 of my uni friends showed up. The steak was delicious, the beer refreshing and the company just what I needed. I hadn't laughed so hard for a while. Yesterday work at Infinity Property Agents was much better than it had been before (I'm getting sales experience in addition to providing administrative support), though I'm still looking around for other summer opportunities. My Audiovisual Production professor surprised me by offering to send my CV to her friend who works for ABC--I was quite honoured. I had mentioned to her after class one night that I was interested in broadcast journalism, and I've received the highest marks of all my classes in hers--high distinctions! I've also sent some e-mails around to community radio stations regarding summer work, and my second interview with Yamaha Music is next Tuesday! They called this week and invited me to proceed with the application (I had a phone interview a few weeks ago). Group interview next Tuesday; if I pass that, class observation, then private interview, then audition. Quite an extensive application process, but we'll see how it goes. I also applied for a job at the Sydney Opera House as a tour guide--how exciting would that be?!--and a few other positions in communications and marketing. Tomorrow Marty and I and some friends are going to the Hilltop Hoods concert--real Aussie hip hop! Interestingly, they've done work with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and toured the UK with a string quartet from Sydney. Classical traditions don't always have to be realised in an antiquated fashion! What do you think, is there a future for me here as keyboardist?
