If my nanna were sitting here next to me, she'd make the typical comment, "you make a terrible woman," - apparently we're supposed to be multi tasking wizards.
So now that I'm identifying publicity opportunities for not just my student placement location, Guide Dogs WA, but also at a non-profit I have just volunteered for, I'm having a bit of an existential crisis.

News that's too late to act on, news that's happening tomorrow, follow-up stories to write in my diary for August 2016.
It's why I have such an affinity for media relations, and why I took on the role of media coordinator voluntarily for my non-profit organisation.
But after a few weeks of juggling both roles, I've realised I can only really focus on one person/group/organisation's media effectively enough to do the job justice.
Sure, I can switch from thinking about one to the other, but it's like writing half an essay then opening a new Word doc to begin the next.
Therefore I'm coming to realise that I'm a one-company woman. Having one company I can devote time to, channel my creativity into, and generally work to improve is my kind of job.
In other words, I'd be pretty pitiful interning at a PR consultancy. I bow down to everyone who is handling their placement in the consultancy environment at the moment. You amaze me.
Have a good week, everyone!
