Finished my last (likely ever) University exam yesterday. Feels so good to wake up today and not have it hanging over me like a cloud. I'm like you now, eunoia, it's job-hunting time I guess
Hi Lemex, Almost a year for me and I'm dancing with joy! Good for you-it feels good doesn't it? Congrats to both of us--wheeee!
Not only would I like to see Farage in No.10, I'd like Screaming Lord Sutch to be his Chancellor. At least the disaster formerly known as England would at least regain a little of it's much famed ironic humour. And yes, I do know the 3rd Earl of Harrow passed away 14 years ago. It would still make an improvement.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Just received an offer from the University of Sunderland to do a post-compulsory teaching program!
This September, there is the one condition that I am approved by Criminal Records Check and pass a Medical clearance. Considering I'm basically a fit and healthy, if slightly lazy, 20 something, and I have both forms of CRB check already, I'm more than just a little confident.
That's pretty facile. Everybody wants what they have (unless it's a horrible disease). What if you want everything you have and you still aren't happy?
I'm happy because I got great news at my MRI follow up appointment! No changes at all! No tumor recurrence and no structural changes of my spine! I'm also excited because I finally found modified exercises to help keep my spine in good shape that don't make me feel like I'm going to die when I do them. It feels good to feel like I have some control over my future spine health.
I will be spending the weekend in a little cabin rented on the water's edge on a lovely beach in Jobos, Puerto Rico. When God takes a vacation, that's where s/he goes.
Woohoo! That's wonderful! Stay healthy and keep monitoring yourself - tumors can be sneaky. Best of luck!
Thank you! Definitely! The good news is that my doctors said I'd notice something was wrong before it would even show up on a scan since the nervous system is so sensitive to change. Learning to appreciate my body for what it's brought me through and getting in touch with it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. It gives me much more peace of mind to feel like I can trust my instincts and trust my body to tell me if something is off!
Just heard today I've been shortlisted for interview for a paralegal job at a good solicitor firm. I am happy but NERVOUS as hell thinking about it. Might need to drink a whiskey or a few beer before going into it just to settle any anxiety.
Congratulations! But make sure you don't smell like alcohol when you go for the interview - that might cost you the job right there.
Hi everyone. Turns out I passed up on the alcohol and settled for a redbull instead haha I can't believe it but I GOT THE JOB. I was really nervous in the interview, I was hyperventilating beforehand (I mean wtf.. Lol) Nerves nearly got the better of me but I think they appreciated my honesty. I didn't overstate my abilities. I'm over the moon tbh. Thanks for the well wishes though!
Well, Red Bull does give you wings. Congratulations on getting the job. That's awesome news. When do you start?
Thanks man. I start next Monday. It's low wage but that's to be expected I suppose having just finished university. I just can't understand how I got so lucky. I'd resolved myself to months of unemployment after college. I thought I'd blew the interview too, went blank on one partic question, but they must have saw something in me. I told them about my fascination with fiction and writing lol I saw two girls going in to the interview before me and they were so well dressed etc. They looked like real lawyers compared to me.
Tons of comp time ~happy~ How I got it, character camp.. UGH.. Was fun though. Planning on a vacation ~Happy~
