Guess what I did the for the first time today? Earned money! Okay, I didn't earn much but on Sunday it is enrolment day for CISM faculty and, as I was a student rep last year, I've been invited to help out at £7.50 an hour. Also, to help out with induction Monday through Wednesday! So, I go to a meeting today to find out when we meet up (be at uni

Technically you don't need to take lessons but I wouldn't want to learn from my parent's and it would still cost at least £190 with no lessons (just for the liscence and test fees) which I also didn't have enough money for lol.

Oh people like that piss me the fuck off! My parent's have very strong work ethics and I really want to work (I left college and tried for four years non-stop to get a job before I gave up and went back to education) but aside from not having transport, I froze up in all interviews I went to (shyness, though I'm less shy now I've been at uni for a year.)

The thing that really pissed me off is that my sister, who is four years older, is the best bull-shitter on the planet. Back in the day, she's changed now because she had a son, she would decide she wanted a job and gets multiple interviews within a week and then gets multiple job offers from those interviews. Then, when she went to work, would do no work at all and get fired, and get multiple interviews and multiple offers and so on and so on...

I'm the opposite, I'm shit at interviews but if I could find someone to give me a chance I'd work my socks off :(

Haha I'm nowhere near finished on my degree! I'm starting my second year in two weeks, if all goes to plan it will go 2010/11 at uni, 2011/12 at a placement (paid work experience with a company), 2012/13 final year at uni.

That all depends if I get a placement though.

Oops! My mistake!

That's AWESOME that you get paid work experience, though! For my degree I had to do about 9 months of placement (16 hrs/week) of UNPAID work. I know that I'm doing it as a learning experience, but still: once you factor in classes and your internship, there's not much time leftover for paid work, which I needed, because the US sucks when it comes to paying for school.

I want to smack your sister. (Sorry...) That sounds really irritating.

University is great for dispelling shyness! I was such a wallflower before I went away to college.

So, yay for you and moving forward! (I'm 28 and just now finishing my degree, so I completely understand!)

Oh, and please to join Team Drama comm???
