Dear LJ

I'm sorry for neglecting you. I didn't mean to, but I've just been so busy. But here's an update.

I guess I'll start by talking about work, as it's now an integral part of my life. I started 6 weeks ago now (can't believe it's that long - it's flown by!) It's actually great. I enjoy the work; it's interesting and challenging and I have to ( Read more... )

Thieved from leesa_perrie on the basis that a meme is a good way to ease back into LJ posting

THREE THINGS YOU WANT VERY BADLY AT THE ( Read more... )

Can't believe I have failed to LJ this but I totes got the job that I really really really wanted! I was desperate for it, got really depressed when I hadn't heard anything by the time I had expected to. Then they emailed to say that I would hear later than expected and so hope was alive again. Finally got a phone call from them while I was out, so ( Read more... )

So it's been an age since I last posted; been wallowing in a crazy world of rushing about, doing applications, going to interviews and generally being about ( Read more... )

So today was my first exam and it went ok. I hope I did enough to get the mark that I want (cryptic?!) It was an ok exam, though we only had one question of 15 on management buyouts which was literally 1/3 of the course, and that question was fairly ancillary to the general issues. That's annoying cos I'd done a lot of revision and practice qs on ( Read more... )

So today I finally started studying for my final finals that start next week (a week tomorrow to be precise) It was actually pretty good. Turns out I do remember a lot of the stuff we've done and so it's not going to be too much of a nightmare. I did about 3/4s of the stuff I wanted to do today but that was with slacking off for a 2 hour lunch with ( Read more... )

So it's official. A week of applications (and only managing to get out one "real" job application and 2 for temporary legal jobs) has demoralised me to the point of exhaustion and despair. I hate applying for these jobs so much, and it's a means to and end, hoops to jump thru and all that jazz. I'm really struggling at this point to tell myself to ( Read more... )

So here I am procrastinating merrily away. I really need to stop, but I just really am struggling with motivation for pushing onwards ( Read more... )

So I finished Community in a week. It's really good. Very excited that it's been picked up for another season! Woo. And in my obsession I have gotten my best mate Laura hooked and my brother (who is upset that I compared him to Abed - he loves a good pop culture reference ( Read more... )

I really want a shiny new E Pluribus Anus flag Userpic. Is that too much to ask? I would go hunting for one, but really I'm supposed to be prepping for class tomorrow so that I can get out of here before it rains because I was feeling foolhardy when I left my house yesterday and so don't have a jacket or even anything with long sleeves. Stupid 3/4 ( Read more... )
