So here we are, half way through the semester. I have to say I’m quite releived we’re on the home stretch.

I’d planned to do a lot more than I did during the mid-semester break, but as usual, this didn’t happen. Well, I did work every day, but homework wise I only managed to get through a few readings and this blog post.

One thing I did indulge in was the Australian series ‘Offspring’. For those who’ve seen this fantastic series, you’ll understand my solid commitment to this activity. It’s just so good! I actually feel like I know the Proudmans, intimately. Sad I know. However, it has inspired my thinking about life post-uni, which has been rather therapeutic because lately I’ve been so worried about what I’m going to do when I finish my degree at RMIT.

There’s a lot of talent behind ‘Offspring’, which has led me to thinking about how fantastic it would be to work in film and television. Over the break I did some research about this industry and how to get into it, and therefore ‘Offspring’ has opened up a whole other realm of possibilities for me. I feel quite reassured.

Perhaps when we think a little deeper about the things we enjoy, the things we do everyday, the normal, the seemingly unproductive things, we may be presented with ideas that lay the foundations of our futures. In a certain way I feel like the ‘Networked Media’ course encourages us to do this.

For those of you who’ve seen ‘Offspring’, here’s a little something to remind you of how great it is. For those who haven’t seen it, consider this an introduction to some very good quality Australian talent that you should definitely indulge in.
