Live broadcasting and Business cards

Last week I gave this thing of transforming into a role a lot of thoughts. Today I realized that there is only one thing that does it. And that is, to borrow a quota from a famous movie “ Wax on Wax off”.  Three days of 12 hours radio broadcasting and around 10 reports from the construction area at Skeppsbron, including interviews, has made me into a reporter. 

In the early morning when broadcasting live at the studio, giving the listeners the results of the 8th leg in the race, Ericsson 4 finished first at 04.25 closed follow by Puma and GreenDragon. This gave Eriksson a third win and they are in the overall lead. On Sunday they sail towards Sandhamn and then awaits in-port race to Stockholm. Well, that was a sidetrack. Back to the studio where I were on my way to leave when a deliver came for me. I know this will sound silly but when opening the box and watched my very own business cards in black and white; whit my name on, titled as journalist, my mail and blog- address , a feeling most properly described as a rush through my body appeared. Now it is for real. It was two-sided, on one hand I felt happiness, a relief that I am on the right track and on the other hand I got scared it felt huge. I know that it actually is the smallest thing in the world, a natural thing and that I could, in theory, have done these even before I was a journalist but for me it is a sign post.
