Throw You In At The Deep End

Well this is an interesting one for me, to write a letter to my self like most things since I’ve been at university is some thing I wouldn’t have even thought about. Due to some form of mix up I didn’t receive any tasks that were to be completed over the summer, one of these tasks was to write a letter to my self.

In light of what has happened I decided that of course I would still completed the letter but reflect on the course so far as well as what I hope to get from it. 

The best way to describe how I feel about CCM and my life so far is quite simply so far, so good. Maybe most students often feel this at the start of their degree, a sort of quite before the storm as I do fully expect to be over whelmed with a mass amount of work shortly if the last year I spent at university is any indication. 

As for the future or at least my future I’m not really sure what I truly want, however out of CCM I want to gain better grasp on what drives the media and how. Obviously being who I am I think I’ve got it all figured out so hopefully this might actually make me more aware if that makes any sense. Truly what I would love to get out of this in the long run is be able to direct television or movies, whether this ambition will hang around or fade away like others is still to be seen. 

Writing this letter has been a very weird experience for me and although it’s simply putting my thoughts out on a page it’s strange to see it all in writing. It’s going to be interesting in a year’s time to look back at this and see if I still feel the same and if I still find my self as funny as I do know or will I look back and cringe, stay safe.

This Could Be the Beginning

Well hello Nic, what have you got yourself in for. Your predictions regarding storm were right, somewhat out of nowhere a flood of work came rolling in around term 2, although you struggled to keep your head above water, you stuck with it this time, fought the ergs to jump ship and now it’s paying off in the last term of year.

When again looking at your predictions I believe you have at least a foot hold or jumping off point from which to continue although I would suggest that you do you very best to not go further down the road of cynical media hating bastard as that will do no good for any instead focus on what the potential for true greatness there is within the world of media.

It’s great to see that however cynical you may have become you have not lost what drives you which is apparent within you Inspiration page as well as this you manage to dive write into aspects of production you never thought possible most specifically editing and actually enjoyed it more then you thought possible, considering in essence your sat in a basement with no natural light staring at an computer screen.

And hey you found that you have a lot more confidence and patience with people from amount of group work you’ve been doing which is great, definitely if you intend on staying in this profession both of which are virtues, so there’s 2 in the win column.

In answer to the last question of the previous letter, yes, yes you still crack yourself up whether anyone else laughs or not. Ultimately do your best to be open minded, find the truth in any situation and continue to surround yourself with good friends and you can’t go wrong.

Bring on Year 2
