June 27 My Masters is over and I passed with meritOnly now what? The question every graduate asks themselves... usually too late in the day to actually come up with a convincing answer to any and all related questions put to them on results day. Now you've completed your studies what do you plan to do with the rest of your life? I don't know, did any of our parents know what they wanted to do when they finished school, do any of our parents know now what they want to do with the rest of their lives? While the results were still pending... while there was still some excuse keeping me on campus, still allowing me to claim, im a student I didn't have to tackle the big bad question... only now, I am a Master of Science and the security blanket has been taken away, now I have no choice but to seek out life after University.
Nick thinks that I am a not a Master of Science but a Mistress of Science based purely on my gender... he also thinks that I am not a bachelar of Science but a Spinster... I don't think that it reads like that on the certificate or my transcripts and Im not sure its very politically correct to call any woman a spinster in 2008 but he's not a big believer in politically correct phrasing, he believes in saying things as they are although this may not always be the best policy and may one day get him in trouble with the fairer sex. In his defense though, chivelry is not dead... he holds doors open... ladies first... and shouts at the other housemates when they swear in the presence of "delicate spirits" other wise known as girls. Richard, John and I don't believe we know any girls who could be described as "delicate spirits" buts its a nice idea!!
I've been thinking about what kind of marketing job I'd like to do, when I went for the interview for the Marketing assistant job with Swansea Council they asked me, why were you attracted to the local council? It made me think... I hadn't exactly prepared for the interview but I responded... I don't want to work for a money hungry company, one who treats customers as numbers... markets products that are not needed, or wanted and doesn't give anything back. Richard said to me this morning I'll probably end up marketing for a charity and most likely the BHF. Theresa called it my second home this morning. She was suprised to find me on msn... she said, what time are you going to your second home... without thinking i responded 1pm - 5pm. I caught myself too late!! I do seem to be there a lot lately, although I should be at work right now but im not needed so instead im writing this blog / note and then Im going to continue with the job of clearing up and clearing out my room before I move back home. Its only 3 weeks!!
I will be sad to leave Swansea, its a nice city an the people here are great... maybe I'll come back... when I have some money behind me, when I have some experience of office work / marketing work... finding a job will be easier and then I'll come back... Its a good plan but plans don't always work out. Maybe I'll work for the university... Student Recruitment? I am an abassador now, i like it, full time job with great pay and benefits!!
Watch this space! I have been enjoying the last few weeks, things seem to be coming to a close, acceptance of things ending but its all tinged with a hint of sadness, all the fun and activities, events, parties etc its all sorrounded by the knowledge that its all going to stop soon. End of an era, beginning of new one but I'll hold on to this era as long as possible thankyou very much.
