Today was hectic –first of all we had to research at least five story ideas and use them for our Internet magazine, called Don’t Know. It reminded me of the last time at this university, when we had to construct a web page in six weeks!
Like most people in the room, I didn’t have lunch, so there’s no point in me going to the gym today.
Thankfully the medication I’m on now stops the dizziness that’s been affecting my sight since we started this course, so now, I can at least see the keyboard in front of me properly, instead of guessing where the keys are.
And it couldn’t come a moment too soon as I realise I now must loose some weight – not to go crazy, just a couple of pounds and it’s for me as I do like to exercise and be reasonably healthy.
I also realise I must get rid of my current body moisturiser as it smells of chocolate, which is why I brought it as I love the smell but I think that’s contributing to how I am of late, both mentally and physically.
I admit I’ve looked at a few blogging sites and realise that articles regarding personal issues are really hot.
But rather than have me write solely on issues I think about, I’m more than happy to hear you tell me about an issue that’s either close to your heart or is something you want to get off your chest.
So let me hear your thoughts and I’ll see what I can come up with.

I'm in demand!
Hi to one and all
It’s been some time since I last visited my page.
I attended a course on stewarding, run by CES, which started out with a group of 150 men and women whittled to 30, due to the five mini exams we had to take and pass. At first we weren’t told that we were going to be tested but I got through and how I’m qualified to be a steward at concert and sporting events!
Last week Saturday (18 October) I was a steward at the QPR grounds when they played Nottingham Forest. QPR won 2-1 but the game was soured by the racist abuse from the ‘fans’ of the losing side towards the black male stewards – one was called an immigrant – and when they left, only three black supporters of Nottingham Forest were black; two were Asian. Some children were present with their parents but the majority were working class white men.
Then again, looking at how expensive it is to get a ticket to a Premier league match, it’s just as well they don’t support a team like Liverpool – when I went to this region in April, many Liverpudians support Everton, complaining they couldn’t get a ticket to see Liverpool FC. But I enjoyed myself in this city and visited the Liverpool FC museum.
Anyway, back to London, the work I admit and I’m glad that CES are keeping me busy with part-time work so I’m happy with that. I’m also really grateful to be back at the University of Westminster as journalism has changed so much from when I last studied here full-time in 1998-1999.
I’m studying to do broadcast journalism as I admit I get such a thrill in broadcasting but I’m also very glad that I’ve done print journalism and I’m very grateful for working at places such as the Wembley Observer and Pride magazine and was immensely proud to have articles displayed in its sister publication, The New Editor magazine.
I’m also learning how to enjoy simple but effective foods, such as hot dog sausages and beans – this really does taste nice!
I also had a recent e-mail from Capital City Academy, asking if I’d like to do some work with them again – I did some admin at former Willesden High School a few years ago – so it seems I’m in demand again!

Greetings!
Once again it’s me and I must admit to having a hard time just getting here!
