So where were we?
On the last episode of Tales From The Bat Cave………
Dan promised to post more!
Now for the thrilling conclusion.
……..Well yes ok so I lied somewhat in so much as my posting has all but dissapeared recently but I do have some excuses!
Firstly, as my last post elluded too I have started producing a weekly baseball podcast which can be found here and you’d be surprised to know how long it takes to put together! However despite the fact it takes me a day or two to write, record, edit and publish I’m loving the experience and it’s great to finally produce something on a sport I love.
Secondly we’ve had quite a few assesments here in Falmouth over the past few weeks. I’ve completed a politics exam, a TV news assesment, and interview and two way assesments in the past three weeks so that’s been quite distracting for me.
I’ve also been plotting my MA, which is now going to be a look at the Thames Valley Bisons baseball team (MA Blog may or may not follow). I’ve been lucky enough to be assigned Rob Walker as my tutor, who you may have seen bobbing around in a boat during last years Olympics and I’m looking forward to having some advice from a man who’s started at the same place I am to now become a national tv sports reporter.
Reading FC and the Arizona Diamondbacks are also swallowing up large chunks of my attention. Reading had all but convinced me they didn’t want to get promoted only to somehow still be in with a chance as we head into the final game of the season. Meanwhile despite a dissapointing start for the D-Backs it’s great to be able to tune in every night to catch some baseball. The one downside of the aforementioned baseball is that it’s usually a 3am start…. so the bags under my eyes may have gotten a little bigger recently.
But mostly I will confess that I’ve just been spending as much time with my friends here as I can. My course is over in just four weeks now and it’s sad to think I won’t be seeing a lot of the people I’ve got so close to here for weeks or months.
Before I leave Falmouth I have a couple more exams and have to finish my portfolio of audio/visual presentation work to be assessed. The I’m totally free to work on my MA and need to have it finished by September 11th. Before September though I have four weeks worth of work experience with Sky Sports so I’ll be experiencing the London commute for the first time in my life (wish me luck…)
Anyway, that’s a very quick review of all that I’ve been up too recently. I won’t make a promise I’ll update more as that doen’t seem to work very well but I’ll promise to try.
Until next time.
