"He keeps ooooohing down my ear, Gem!!"
It's that time of year again. Everyone's pissed off and thinking "shit, we only have a few months of uni left before we go spilling out into the real world and saturating the unemployed-with-degree market". Yup, it is that crappy. Shamefully, I had a cunning plan that would get me away from this post-uni misfortune, but due to lack of communication on pretty much everyone's part except mine, it doesn't seem to be working out. Kirsty from Keele uni called me last weekend;"Hello Kim, we still haven't heard from your referee, thought you might want to give him a kick up the arse to sort it out..."
"Oh, right, sure, I'll get on it"
"Well thing is, there are only two places left on the course you want... so you better get going, sharpish."
"...oh..."
So not only am I fucked if the guy doesn't hurry up, I'm probably screwed for the interview anyway cos I'll manage to bugger it up somehow on the day. So my back up plan... meh, I haven't got much of a clue. I'll probably end up applying for next year instead, staying in Birmingham, getting some more teaching experience and working. I just don't really want it to come to that!
In other news, there's been a lot of social issues raising their ugly heads lately. People who hate my friends, people who are blaming me for their social inadequacies, people who hate him, who hates her, who despises her, who secretly has a crush on him, who doesn't know she exists. You know, the usual. But you know what, I don't hate anybody! But I'm not going to waste effort on people who are just going to do the whole two faced bitching thing. Hate each other all you like, but keep me the fuck out of it. And certainly don't go bitching to my boyfriend and filling his head with crap that isn't true. Luckily Dave has more sense than to listen to things like that anyway.
Today I'm venturing back to uni for the first time. Would have gone yesterday but I felt like crap and I've lost my timetable. Today it's Women and Power in Politics, so I can't really not go - it might actually help me get my dissertation started. Then I have a lovely 9am meeting tomorro where I get to listen to everyone else talking about how fantastically they're doing with their dissertations... much fun.
I had the most amazing two weeks off work, to do coursework and exams, so amazing in fact that I don't want to go back. I went back friday but decided I was too ill to do sunday and last night. For once it is genuine though - Dave had a throat infection and I reckon I caught it off him, and I'm still coughing my lungs out as I type this. Anyway, long and short is I'm gonna look for a new job, and even Simon and Patrick wont be able to persuade me to stay if I do find one.
Right, the George Foreman is calling me to come make some cheese toasties, so I bid thee farewell for now.
