My Experience at the DSR (Part 4) - The End

This is it, it is finally over.

Last week I had my final day at the DSR but I have been putting this post off for a while due to the assignment.  I figured what better time to post this than on my last ever day of uni.

I had an amazing time doing my work experience at the Department of Sport and Recreation and it is fitting that it was the culmination of four years of study (I know, it was meant to just be three... shhh).

In a way I feel like I have come full circle, finishing university just as I started it - delirious from lack of sleep and putting the finishing touches on my report before I go hand it in.  Who knew formatting would take so much work!

I learned a lot at the DSR and loved every minute of it.

A large amount of the work was putting out media releases but I enjoy writing and (bizarrely for someone who dislikes work) actually had fun doing it.

There were some pretty amazing and unique experiences along the way.  One of the recent highlights was attending the stadium update and seeing the premier and minister for sport and recreation addressing a room crowded with media. I got to see the Eagles President make an address (yay) as well as the Dockers CEO (boo). It was a fun day and I am glad to have experienced it.

I'll keep this one short and end it here.  Thankyou to everyone who left a comment over the last few months.

I hope everyone enjoyed their experience as much as I did!
