Networking, by which I mean, socialising with new people

I’ve been doing a lot of, uh, networking recently. (Does it count as networking if you have fun and meet interesting people in unstructured environments? Of course!) It’s really quite excellent. Mostly facilitated by going to university and the power of the interweb. (Facebook is like a mashup of the two of these).

Benefits of being a student, cool stuff for free

Today, I also discovered an entrepreneurship programme, free for all King’s students:

Be inspired! is a student enterprise training programme co-ordinated by KCL Enterprises.

Result!

Remembering I’m at uni to work hard, of course

In amongst all these fabulous opportunities, I need to fit in studying too, of course. Much to my chagrin, one of my lecturers asked me about some reading (in advance of the due date I hasten to add) and I hadn’t done it yet. Woe, woe is me - am supposed to be impressing my tutors with my organised efficiency, not having them curse at me (literally) because I’m failing to live up to their (high!) expectations.

Sigh.

Unfortunately, all the time management skills in the world couldn’t create more space for everything I’ve got on at the moment, what with some personal stuff too.

Achievements, stuff I’ve done what I’m proud of, innit?

Still, I am relatively proud of my achievements so far. For example, the study forum I implemented will come in handy (eventually) and, in the meantime, all the updating of All Things Bright has impressed one of my fellow uni mates at least. (It’s nice to get some recognition). Plus, when I am an online celebrity, will be great to be able to say things like - ‘I’m so committed to blogging & to the Internet generally that I updated my site every other day for the past five years, even when I was in full-time education and had 15 000 words to write for my insightful, ground-breaking dissertation.

Business, they call it that because it’s all about being busy

The next thing to focus on (after that reading!) is my business, EthicalBeads.com; it’s not going to grow itself, after all. Anyway, I have that covered, as I’ll be attending those training sessions by KCL Enterprises.

I’m moving up in the world as we speak.
