A week feels like a lifetime

at the current pace my world is moving. I have something very exciting/terrifying to announce: as of last week, I am the PR bitch/publicist for the Lansdowne!

This has all happened very fast. I applied for a bartender position on Gumtree last Thursday night, got a call on Friday morning to come in for a interview later that day, the boss actually read my resume (people do that these days?..) and offered me the opportunity to do their PR shizz and be part of some big plans, and I’ll do some bartending shifts so I can save up some more $$$ during the mid semester uni break. 

I still can’t fathom that someone would give me a job I didn’t even apply for. That shit CRAY! Usually I have to beg people to give me jobs! I feel privileged to be part of something that has both a student focus and a live music focus so I feel like I can do a good job on that angle; I’m just nervous  I might have overextended myself when I go back to university in July.

On top of uni, I'll still be interning at the Roundhouse, interning one day a week at the Music Network and now publicist-ing at the Lansdowne too. Phew. I need to work out how to manage all of these, I will probably have to do uni part time this semester until I get into the swing of things.

The Lansdowne is a bit of an institution in Sydney for poor students and musos who are just starting out. Two kinds of people I am very familiar with. So I think this is a great fit for all parties involved. Wish me luck!
