Look, even the BBC says it's true! No £2000 fee for me! FUCKING DAAAAAANCEEEEER!

I'm a bit disappointed, but never mind. It's on to try at Glasgow now, so maybe it'll be second time lucky. At least I've got some experience with the interview process now so hopefully Glasgow will give me a go and interview me. *shrugs* I feel a little bit bummed, but I guess they know what they were looking for and it wasn't me.

The interview was ok. I'm not gonna say it was good or bad, because I genuinely can't be sure. It's hard to read what they're thinking. One of the interviewers said that I'm 'firey'.

The GTTR are processing it as we speak. Scary. I get a letter telling me that they've recieved it and then I can track its progress online. I so hope I get accepted somewhere. If I do, then this time next year I'll be on placements, and then the year after next at this time I'll actually BE a teacher, in a classroom, teaching English to ( Read more... )

Title says it all folks. My official name is now Miss Caroline Grieve, BA. How bizarre. I had so much fun swooshing around in my robes. I think I know how Harry Potter feels now. After the great ticket debunkle it all worked out in the end, and it was a sunny day ( Read more... )

They were good. My Lit and the Environment was really good, actually. So that means I am officially OFFICIALLY graduating. How frightening ( Read more... )
