Uh, no, I'm not daydreaming about The Trilogy this time.

It seems that a lot of people in the class are thinking hard about what a career in journalism really means. It's hard to avoid it when all of the facts are floating around this classroom.

Anyway, I was talking to a college friend yesterday. He casually told me that he's sending a programme proposal into a local radio station.

I had to do a double take.

Had we just switched bodies? Surely I'm the one who's pursuing a media career? He's never expressed any interest in radio before (besides his near psychotic devotion to Terry Wogan. I like the guy too, but getting down on my hands and knees to painstakingly tune in BBC Radio 2 every morning is a little excessive.), so why does he need an hour of weekly airtime?

Obviously I wish him the best (is he reading this? Dunno, better play it safe.), but it makes me wonder why I'm spending this extra year in college.
