From Little Things Big Things Grow....


I'm chilling out listening to Paul Kelly, trying to digest all that we have learnt in Cert IV today.

The lyrics of this protest song are not really relevant, but the title certainly reminded me of what we began today, in our PR journey.

Still coming down from the spills and relaxation of a long weekend, we were thrown right in to the thick of things today, but what an unexpected and amazing feeling!

Text books and lectures are all wonderful learning tools, but there is nothing like experience to really marry all the new ideas and skills we have begun to gain, from our first 4 weeks of this course.

Keith has secured a wonderful project for us, where we can begin to access our creative skills and experience the REAL world of public relations. We no longer have the nurturing classroom environment to protect us, this venture is very real and has serious expectations. It's an important role, that we all seem keen and enthusiastic to embrace.

I'm tired, but it's a good tired. My body is aching, my head is spinning, but I'm hungry to see what results we can achieve, when we all work together on this.

There's already a sense of unity and passion...from lunch time chatter to enthusiastic ideas shared on the train ride home. The Cert IV room is buzzing and we all get to be part of the action!
