Having a Mad Men moment
Today, in my second last week of my undergraduate studies, I got some exciting news: I was accepted into a Masters of Communication (Advertising).

Copyright/copyleft/copywrong
So Media Law this semester has taught me many, many things I probably should have known before entering into this whole blogging thing.

An Open Letter to Alannah Hill
