Didn't get the job. I'm going to have to start applying for jobs I don't want, then I won't be disappointed when they don't want me ( Read more... )

The interview went well. I think. I hope. I really really hope. But since it was only my second ever job interview, and I thought the first one went well until I didn't get that job, I'm probably not the best judge of these things. Gah. They should give jobs to the people that most want to work for the company (me, because they were so friendly and ( Read more... )

Hehe, I've got a job interview tomorrow, and only 500-800 more words of poetry to write for the Writing Project of Doom before I can make a start on the commentary! Though I've knackered my elbows again, and the WPoD is due in a week on Monday. Hm. Silver linings and clouds and all that.

Because my uni e-mail account, which I use for all official purposes, will expire when I, y'know, leave uni (gulp), I finally got round to setting up a googlemail account so I can start transferring everything over and can put an e-mail address on job applications that doesn't highlight more than absolutely necessary the fact that I'm still a ( Read more... )

Impulsively bought a CD in the Arts Centre yesterday, and it's brilliant. It's called Of Milkmaids and Architects and is by a folk-y singer called Martha Tilston. And I'm going to post the following lyrics from it, because they say something that I'd like to say today, but it'll take me a while to work out how:

Must be spring. I'm sitting here with my window open, listening to the birds sing, and I'm not wearing the entirity of the contents of my wardrobe, my heater isn't on full blast (and therefore isn't on at all), and I've not got icicles forming on the end of my nose. Makes a somewhat shocking change ( Read more... )

I'm not doing my seminar work for today. Well, I might give in and do half of it, but I'm going on strike for the rest. The stories he gave us to read were utterly pointless and I don't even know where his questions about them came from, let alone what the answers are. Plus, questions like "Is the story concerned to interrogate traditional gender ( Read more... )

Going home today! *dances* Sorted out all my Writing Project work last night and am actually feeling vaguely confident-ish about it now. (That's me jinxing it, right there!) Will go and hand the work in later for the meeting next week, and it'll be a nice weight off my mind ( Read more... )

Hm. The Guardian is stooping to Daily-Mail lows and publishing pointless articles that don't prove anything. I could have told you that people buy books that are recommended (ie. bestsellers) and ( Read more... )

Yay! *dances excitedly* I think I may just have come up with the perfect title for my Writing Project! Still not entirely sure we actually need to have a title, but I'm working on that assumption... anyway, I'm going to call it "Across the Borderline", which neatly covers my ridiculously diverse theme and also (in my mind at least - feel free to ( Read more... )
