Week 7 at Swimming WA

This was my most difficult week yet. I knew I wasn't feeling 100% but did not want to let Claire or Swimming WA down.

Claire was awesome! I explained to her what was wrong and she immediately understood..ironically her mum had been hospitalised with the same thing!

There was a positive buzz in the office. WA's two Commonwealth Games swimmers were doing really well. It was great to feel like I was part of it.

I really enjoyed the work, so persevered. I had to firstly research the community newspapers, for articles relevant to swimming. With the Commonwealth Games, there were heaps!

I then had to put together a media release for an event coming up in November. Claire explained she had put together an ad schedule for newspapers like the Sunday Times, about a lunch they were hosting with Eamon Sullivan and Blair Evans. She wanted me to put together a new release to compliment the ads...easy :)

Then I was hit with a bombshell. Claire is leaving Swimming WA to go to a larger, better paying position with a high profile company. I was divided with excitement for her, and sadness because I have really enjoyed working with her. She has taught me sooo much!
