Three months in…

I’m long past the point of counting how long i’ve been in Birmingham doing my Internship and will never be counting down the days until it ends, but i do know that this week will mark three months since i’ve been here. So, what have a learnt so far? I’ve been doing a lot of Sidekicking or Co-presenting and become more confident in presenting and a lot of my Internship offers me the chance to find out about Birmingham, meet new people and learn more about myself as well as gain experience in the media which i have been constantly doing.

Last week I was at the annual Grapevine festival, which i have done every year for the last three years working on the Radio station Grapevine FM. The difference this year was that I wasn’t going to Grapevine because i was part of the church but because I was working for Mike as part of my internship. It was a great weekend but a long hard weekend of work too. Most of my weekend was spent working between midday and midnight creating features for the late show by going around the campsite and interviewing people and then co-presenting on the late-show between 10pm and 12pm.

Outside of my Internship i am still doing temporary work around Birmingham to make some money, although I have a job interview for an Events Co-Ordinator at ASDA in Halesowen in the middle of September and an interview to work in the box office at Symphony Hall tomorrow, so although I feel like it’s taken a long time to get to this point, things are starting to settle down. Hopefully this time next month I will be in one of these jobs
