(no subject)
Well hello there. Not done this for 63 weeks (count 'em), but I think 'tis time for an update.
Sooooooo, what's changed since the last time I ventured to these here shores?
Not very much, actually. Still working in t'shop, after six years (not counting the year at Asda), and two years after I graduated. Still searching for a uni-related job but not having much luck, applied for quite a few and heard nought back. But, hey, my time will come. I just wish it would hurry up.
Kept up the part-time uni studies as well, done three years in Spanish now, finished them with marks of 77, 81 and 72 in that order, including my best ever oral mark of 80 in level 2 (the year after final year... God, that seems so long ago now!) Also did level 5 German last year, which is broadly equivalent to degree level, and came out of that with 68%. Why could I not do that as a full-time student?!
Got a leaflet in with my results detailing course times etc. for next year. I'd like to go on and do level 4 and possibly level 5 in Spanish as well, but Angela (Spanish lecturer) mentioned in the last lecture of last year that level 4 may not run next year, although it is mentioned in the leaflet. Need to get in contact with her again and find out what's happening. It might be that the only thing to do would be to skip a level and go straight to level 5, which would be doable, but I presume would be rather more difficult than doing the two levels. Heh, I could be turning into a professional student, next year will be my sixth at uni!
I've become really interested in photography this year as well, ever since I got a digital camera last Christmas. Been everywhere from Newcastle to York, Whitby, Alnwick, Durham and Hexham among others taking photos (shameless plug alert: photos are online at www.flickr.com/photos/pwtf). Gonna see if I can take a part-time course in photography come September too.
Gonna be an usher very soon as well, my sister is getting spliced on August 1st (erk, next Friday!) and I've been recruited to usher along with the groom's cousin. Never been to a family wedding before so that could be an experience! Come 4pm next Friday (odd time for a wedding, I thought they were usually on Saturdays) that'll have changed though.
I think I'm all up to date now, I'll probably think of something later, in which case I'll stick it in here. Slightly sooner than 63 weeks' time though, honest!
