New Kid on the Block

Ooh hello there. My name is Niomi and as you can probably guess, I'm new to this whole blogging process. It seems OK so far but before I started, I felt a little bit like this:

When I eventually grow up, I would quite like to be a Journalist. Now, for a wannabe Journalist, I really should have started a blog ages ago (I was actually told to get with the programme), but it's better late than never I suppose. To be fair, I'm not totally behind with the times, I do have a Twitter and Facebook account of which you more than welcome to have a look at. 


I'm currently a trainee at the Catch 22 Academy and I'm enjoying it very much, although when I started I felt a little like this:

I've met some really nice people and the tutors are really good. (You have to excuse my simplistic writing, I find it hard to write intelligently under pressure, especially with 'Vogue' playing on the radio) And before you say it, I know Journalists are supposed to work under pressure, but that's the reason I'm here silly! To learn how to be a proper Journalist! (Amongst other things) I am learning many things as it happens, these include writing shortcuts, court reporting and most prominently, figuring out how to use Macs of which usually makes me feel like this:

Now this is only my first blog post and I'm learning and improving my skills every day I'm at Catch 22. I think I'm doing quite well, but only time will tell. I'm working very hard to get at least a Merit at the end of this course, so wish me luck! And if I do pass, I'll probably feel a little something like this:

Look out for my next post. Who knows how I'll be feeling then!

Love Niomi xxx
