I haven't updated in so long! Since my last update I have -
Turned 21 -
Graduated
Been to paris -
Made ice cream with my new ice cream maker - (this is actually sorbet)
Visited Betty's in Harrogate for afternoon tea -
And also I have made lots and lots of blackberry jam with all the blackberries that are growing around here. There is such a good crop this year and it's not quite the peak of the season yet! I am going to make blackberry sorbet, blackberry pie, blackberry crumble bars and probably more jam too.
I also had a job interview on Thursday. I think that the interview went okay, but perhaps my lack of experience let me down as they asked me things like 'give me an example of a time you had to work to a tight budget' and 'give an example of a time you had to work to a specific target and did you acheive those results'. I gave decent examples, but they only related to my time at university. Ho hum. Also, they made me write a report at the end of it which I think may have let me down on it. BUT the day before I had my interview, my old tutor emailed me about some jobs at The Reader. The Reader is that organisation I had an interview at for an internship but didn't get it. Anyway, the job vacancy is more like what I want to do - working in the community doing reading groups, this one is for with young people in Knowsley mostly. So that would be a really good opportunity for me if I didn't get the other job. (TBH I would prefer the reader one because although it is less money, I would love to work for the reader because they are so passionate about literature whereas in the other interview, which was for a read for health officer, they didn't ask me ANYTHING about literature which was pretty crap. Also, it would be in Liverpool and then me and Scott could get our own place in Liverpool whilst he does his phd. Did I mention he's got a phd studentship?! Well he has, clever clogs. Finding a cure for some weird disease or something)
I've also been looking into librarianship masters, as I would love to work in a community library promoting literature. Applied for a few library graduate trainee jobs too but didn't hear anything back. Rubbish. Considering that a few weeks ago I was like omg what can I do? I now have lots of options available which is good (hopefully!).
Tomorrow I'm going to an ice cream farm in Cheshire, I love going into the countryside in Cheshire! There are so many good farms and pick your owns and stuff. Oh and it's 4 weeks til my sister's wedding! My dress is all sorted, I am getting rather excited about being a bridesmaid.
