Summer clean out
I am seriously becoming obsessed with the musical, ‘Wicked’. I saw it twice in London and bought the soundtrack and have made ring tones out of several of the songs. My favourites are ‘The Wizard and I’ and ‘Defying Gravity’, but I also made a ‘Dancing through life’ and ‘Popular’ ring tones. I’m thinking about popping down to Melbourne to see it but I really can’t take any more time off tutoring so I might have to wait till July...sigh. It’s just such a good show, but I don’t know if I’ll like it as much with Australian accents because it kind of takes away the magic of it unfolding in an alternate world.....and besides everything sounds better in British accents, lol.
I had a job interview yesterday which went O.K but I could have answered one of the questions a little better. It was for an R.E teaching job so they asked me a few questions of the Doctrines of the Catholic Church which is always a pain in the arse and they gave me scenarios about divorce and crap and all you can say is “support the teachings of the Catholic Church”. I seriously doubt I will get the job unless they are super desperate. They haven’t called back yet either way which is a little worrying as the job starts Monday and there are lessons to prepare. They should ring and tell me that I haven’t got it out of courtesy so that I can start my relaxing first school term doing casual teaching and tutoring.
I’ve begun cleaning out my room which usually only happens when I have more important things to do or worry about....like a job interview. I’m really proud of myself because I’ve managed to throw away some Harry Potter related items (just the crap stuff I bought at the height of my obsession). It doesn’t mean that I am over Harry Potter because that simply isn’t true, but I think spending 2 months overseas (1 month alone) made me grow up a bit (tiny bit) and it made me realise that I live a pretty juvenile life, not just in my interests but also in the way I perceive myself. For instance one of my school friends got married whilst I was overseas and at first I thought, “We’re still too young”. However, I am 22 going on 23 and have never had a relationship, lol which is just getting sad now I think. I really think that I need to grow up a bit...a lot.
