So.

UQ hosts a journalism conference each year where 3 students are chosen to show off their work in the field.

Apparently, I am now one of these students.

Somehow I must've let it slip that I used to do a lot of drawing, and now one of the professors is doting on me, sending me all these papers on cartooning, letting me borrow his books on the subject, etc. (possibly while high) He wants me to present a case study to a bunch of interstate and international guests where I incoorporate live drawing via webcam into my show on JACRadio and some other stuff. Don't get me wrong, this is fucking awesome. He was particularly candid about how much attention the students get which could open up entire fucking career opportunities in both art AND journalism for me if I play my cards right.

And the conference is on during the semester I was planning to spend in the USA.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

What do I do ;_;

It never rains, it pours. You seem to currently being shat on and told that you have to like it.

Look on the bright side, you're going to get a career jump and save a pile of cash :) Have your banana and eat it too!

Bananas are a delicious source of potassium.

............................. X_X what an opportunity! Suz this is amazing!

Could you possibly reschedule your US thing? It would be fantastic to go there... but with career opportunities on both sides of the world, which one would you rather?

Side note: if you are still here next year I'd love to interview you/follow you for my documentary (assuming it gets up ;D) <3

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe I should figure out how to reschedule the US thing. I have no idea how I'm gonna do it. The hardest thing in the world right now seems to be pulling myself back from my dream of studying in NYC, especially after years of saving and all the stress I've been through to try and get accepted.

Your docco sounds cool... too bad I couldn't provide you with bacon-flavoured vodka from the US instead of my meager contribution. You'll just have to pickle the pig yourself.
