Title goes here

When I started this blog two years ago, I never thought I would, or could, go a week without posting. I took a week off here and there, but just noticed that I didn’t post once in the month of April – not even to celebrate the second birthday of the Earley Edition on April 9! For shame.

The time spent away has been good, and necessary. I’m posting now because I have four weeks to hand in my next piece of assessment, and the three weeks following that before my only exam this semester.

“Why, Dave,” I hear you say, “this surely does not sound like the workload of a full-time student. What gives?”

No, indeed it is not full-time. While refusing to concede that French may not be for me, I dropped my French class, leaving me with only two journalism subjects to do this semester.

So why the month-long hiatus? Mainly to focus on study, in particular the French, and complete the two assignments submitted in the last week. Having officially put all that behind me 90 minutes ago, I am feeling more at ease.

This return doesn’t mean I’ll be back at full-strength blogging – with daily posts or lengthy diatribes – but it does mean I’m back. As a hint towards the next major attraction at the Earley Edition, there may be a multitude of posts in about 37 days. My few readers will likely have little interest in the subject matter of those posts, but it will be purely for my gratification only. Till next time, and in anticipation, I bid you farewell as I head off to my Newsroom Operations lecture to hear what the editor of The Courier Mail, Brisbane’s only daily paper, has to say for himself.
