It was my Nana's 75th birthday at the weekend so we had a little party. I was in charge of the birthday cake (of course!). My Nana doesn't like things that are too sweet so i thought a carrot cake would be good. I cooked it all according to the recipe and then it came out SO FLAT! I was like uh. So my Mum made another layer by halving the recipe. Then she realised that I had used plain flour instead of self raising! Doh! But her layer didn't even rise much more (it is the top layer for reference). It did have a lighter texture but no-one could notice it when eating the cake. the icing was lovely too, orange cream cheese icing.
I finished off my dissertation that evening and handed it in yesterday. I forgot to take a photo of it like i said I would! I've been so sleepy the past few days though, so please excuse me. Infact, I may have a nap today. Only one exam left, on Friday. Wheeee. I also found a really good job to apply for in Manchester Council, my title would be 'book award officer'. Basically you arrange the Manchester book award among the libraries, which is a kid's book award. It helps to promote reading with kids in youth centres, libraries and schools. You also have to talk to publishers and authors, hold reading groups in the libraries, talk to the press, etc. Then arrange a big fancy event for 400 people, including kids, authors, librarians, etc. It sounds ACE basically. I'm not getting my hopes up too much but applying for it can't harm can it? I think i tick all the boxes but of course if there is someone internal or with more experience they'd get it... Other than that there are a few internships I'm applying for but nothing really as closely linked to literature as that.
Oh and yes, I got spotify! I am enjoying it lots at the moment but need new music recommendations to take advantage of it, so please, tell me what you're enjoying listening to at the moment and/or is good to revise to. Back to the revision now and a big cup of tea!
