Things are beginning to pull together in a rather satisfying way. Finishing exams two weeks ago and I have made one fleet trip, been electronically published, run around with a frisbee in the rain, learnt how to pour champagne, sat on a commitee and remembered what it's like to read fiction.
For further explanation on some of those points;
"been electronically published"...
happened right after exams and cheered me up during the post-exam next day anti-climax. But it was a nice little voicemail from the Geog Dept to ask for my consent on behalf of one of my lecturer's to publish a first year piece of work I did as a 'best example' on the academic journal GEES (Geography, Environment ... who really cares?). No doubt this feeling of intelligence will fade away when the exam results come back.
"ran around with a frisbee in the rain" was the University Women's Outdoor Nationals for ultimate frisbee; a fun weekend up in Cambridge playing some serious disc with 'Team London' (collectively students from Imperial, King's, Brunel and myself with UCL). Lot's of fun and we won the plate - but it did involve the longest point ever 45mins and our last game over-running by an hour.
"learnt how to pour champagne"
I got myself a student job - finally. It involved spending way too much time in Clapham, but I now work for High Society. Pretty much being catering staff, but they do a lot of high profile events so I can step up my game with the celebrity spotting.
As the job hunt continues on a more exciting note I have an interview for an internship with Medecins du Monde, a humanitarian aid organisation specialising in healthcare provision in francophone tropical tropical Africa.
That's all I want to write now, the highlights show is over.
Keep busy people
