Finally, the exams are over.
Okay, it's been over a week since they were over, but I've been so busy doing nothing, that I didn't get around to updating. And it's not just this, I haven't updated my websites in ages either. Still, the sun is shining, I have no work to do and I'm going to the pictures tonight. Life is good.
I've been trying to find a job. I went to some employment agencies, and even got an interview, but so far no one wants me. I can't say I blame them, I'm not exactly qualified for anything and I've got no experience of anything but factory work (unless you count my paper round, that is). I'll have to get something though, because I need money, and, as much as I love sitting in the sun all day reading sci fi, sooner or later my mum's going to start yelling at me, and I really, really hate that. The sound just goes right through me, you know? It makes my eardrums feel like they're vibrating (which they are, I guess) and it feels unpleasant. I've told her this, but it just makes her yell more!
Anyway, no luck on the job front. Maybe I'm being too fussy, what do you think? I'm looking for an office job, if I tell them I'll do factory work I might end up with shift work, which I know I couldn't hack, or something where I have to stand up all day, which I just couldn't do (I've done it before - it wasn't fun). So I want something where I can sit down all day in from of a computer and just get on with it. I know I could do it, but unfortunately they don't. For one, they have no idea whether I can even find my way around a computer, after all, telling they can and putting 'website design' as one of my hobbies doesn’t exactly prove anything, and they all seem convinced that I'm going to quit after a few months to do something else. Hey, maybe I would, but I'm not planning on it. They all seem to think I'll be wanting to do something with my degree (which is what they all said, by the way) What exactly, I don't know. I don't think there’s a whole lot you can do with a European studies degree, though I'm probably wrong. I know I'm not good enough with my languages to do translation, so, what can I do. Nothing, apparently. Sigh.
Still, I'm not worried at the moment, as I said, the sun is shining (a rare thing in England!) and I'm going to go and enjoy it.
