Well hello there readers! I'm sorry for the longer delay than usual between posts, I've been super busy what with finishing school for the summer and other things which I will tell you about now: on with the show!
Cast your minds all the way back to...well that failed, I can't even remember what day it is! A couple of weeks ago? Anyway, I was so nervous about my French speaking test and the awkward situation of being in a room that smells of stale coffee with my French teacher holding a bright yellow recording device in my face. Well that happened, but my actual speech went really well! I forgot a bit of it but I just carried on with what I could remember and I got an A!
After that was over, I felt so much more relaxed but I still had the mock interview to do before I could be properly excited about finishing school. Mine was at 9.25 in the morning which I was glad about so I could get it over and done with, but I had to miss part of my English assessment. I was supposed to be with interviewer number 9 but I ended up with number 13 (O.o) who was a guy from 'Turbo Technologies' called Frank.
He asked some really weird questions based on my application form, such as "Why such a large contrast between library work and legal work? "(the options I chose on my work experience form) I don't know, I'm just interested in them! I'd said that I liked reading on my form as well, and I told him that I liked reading classic stuff like Pride and Prejudice, but also sci-fi/fantasy as well, like The Lovely Bones, then he asked why such a large contrast between the two genres-how am I supposed to answer that, I just like those types of novel! The other questions were "What are your strengths/weaknesses?" and teamwork things, to which I lied through my teeth, mostly. I told one lie and then my whole life became one big lie and I sound like a compulsive liar (I'm not) so I'll shut up.
I got some really positive feedback overall though so I was pleased that it was finished! We had to dress up in the clothes that we'd actually go to an interview in, so I wore chinos and a blouse with heels that my mum lent to me, but they hurt my toes. I soldiered on though because I enjoyed strutting around!
The weekend after that, je suis allee au Durham avec ma mere, grandmere et soeur pour un jour! It was smaller than I was expecting and there were lots of drunk people wandering around because there was the Miner's Gala, but the cathedral was beautiful and I enjoyed having a walk around. I bought The Maccabees album and Bombay Bicycle Club's album for £10 from a scary woman in HMV, they are both really good! Especially The Maccabees, it's my kinda thing!
I had a relaxing Sunday at home after that, then there was just one more week of school to go! We found out our new form tutors for next year, mine is my History teacher who is hilarious but the form is full of chavs so I'll be sat alone in the corner, hiding. Yay. We also got our reports and grades, mine were a mixture of As and Bs so I'm pleased with that:-)
Enough chat about school, the rest of the week went without too many problems! On Friday we finished early so we got fish and chips and went to Ella's house, where we watched Tangled and started a whistling choir, as you do! Yesterday I watched Date Night which I hadn't seen before, but I found it really funny! I also ate too much pizza and chocolate but life's too short not to!
Today I went into Manchester to go shopping with Dad and Angie, pappa bought me a skirt to wear to Emily's birthday meal at TGI Friday's on Tuesday! I will post pics of that later on in the week, I'm really looking forward to it as we've bought her some cool presents and they do this gorgeous cake! Just hoping she's remembered to book the table...
