the fingers of your thoughts are molding your face ceaselessly -

I realise while I may do well in school this will not carry over to my working life simply because of why I am doing well in school. I am good at making revision notes and can write good essays after like, extensive research and time spent neatly structuring my argument and points and searching for evidence. but this also means that I won't do as well during the exams because I don't have the luxury of time and elegance, and even more so that I am horrible doing things on the fly. so when I am, say, rushing out an article before offstone or trying to come up with questions on the spot for a newsmaker when the prepared questions turn out to have been irrelevant I won't be using these school skills.

and I tend to go deep rather than wide when I am covering a topic, the former to the latter's expense, but right journalists are supposed to have insane general knowledge because they have to cover a wide range of stuff (until you carve out a niche for yourself anyway, and even then. haha I can hear one of my editors' voice booming MASTER OF ALL TRADES!! MASTER OF ALL TRADES!!) anyway the point is, I am horrible off the cuff!! ): maybe this means I am better at editorials and like, economist-type content & analysis articles but haha that is and probably will stay far beyond my level. gwargh this will have to be fixed
