Yikes!
I got an email from the guy at the Independent today and I'm slightly in a panic now. I really should start having a think. He said that he won't be there until wed but on the tues (23rd) i'll have to sit and think of some ideas for articles! ARGH! I can't even think of any ideas for my features article let alone for a real newspaper. My mind is complete blank! Maybe it'll kick into gear this weekend as I'm doing lots of reading for my journalism ethics essay. Maybe so.

Also I asked about dress code and told him that I usually wear jeans and a top and he said that would give a bad impression, but nonetheless it is smart/casual. Balls! I have no smart/casual clothes! EEEK! Looks like I'm off shopping on the weekend to smarten up my wardrobe!

I'm just in a stress cos I wanna do really well and make a good impression so that they remember me when I am looking for a job. This is a great opportunity for me and I really do not want to mess it up! STRESS!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll be absolutely fine I'm sure. Everyone who meets you falls instantly in love with you, you'll be adored and worshiped in no time, esp if you giggle ;)

And dress wise, I've never seen you look "casual" you're always stunning, but let's be honest, you just want an excuse to shop ;)

It's all a massive STRESS! But yes I suppose it is a fab excuse to shop. What clothes does smart/casual fall under?

Well I get away happily with cord jeans and a shirt, but here's it's more casual with a hint of smart if you feel like it. Trousers that aren't jeans, or a skirt, and a top that isn't a tshirt will normally be cool. I would say one of your lovely dresses, but it's winter so that would be silly. And a good jumper will hide a multitude of sinful tops ;).

So perhaps something that shows a hint of your wonderful bosom, and some black trousers that aren't denim?

hmmmm I think I need to go buy some clothes! I only have jeans and t-shirt type tops. I do have jumper dresses so I could put that over my black cords I suppose. Dammit! Stupid fashion stress when I should be concerned over the lack of story ideas!

First article: The importance of appearance in a supposedly accepting society.

You could not only address work dress codes, the psychology of why we perceive someone in a suit to be of greater intelect/importance/income/superiority to someone in jeans and ts, but also issues such as overpricing, sweat shops, cross dressing, school uniforms or the lack thereof, identity (hoodies, chavs etc). In fact, it could be a whole series of articles ;)

coolio, i'll have a think about that. I wanted to do an article about the wii, whether it's just making kids resigned to staying inside for good, cos the boxing game and tennis means you get quite a lot of exercise. I wanted to look at the positive and negatives of the console. Maybe? I DUNNO!

Yeah, that sounds like a good article too. I had an idea to set up an amusement gym a while back, with arcade games, but only ones that provided Cardio Vascular activitiy. ie lots of DDR machines, and some of those ones where the faster you pedal the better things are. And I'm sure I saw an article a few days ago where some guy had proven that things like Wii are actually improving the fitness of our children. And in a society where it's not always safe to let your children go play unsupervised, but also where parents are pressured into not being stay-at-home parents (ie financially pressured into full time work), it may be a suitable alternative?

I still like the clothes article though. Especially if you wrote it as Princess Fluffy ;)

you can already do that at fitness first! when my cousin used the great portland st one, on the exercise bikes it was a computer game, the faster you pedalled the better you did. I think it was space invaders. How cool is that? niiiiiiiiiiice
