College is over!

It's finally the end of my college days! Ah so many memories, sadly not all of them good.
I had my last exam today, A2 English Lit which was utter pig crap, the most horrible exam I have ever had the displeasure of taking. I honestly believe that I will be damn lucky to come away with a C overall for this subject. Media? That was a piece of cake, whipping down 20 pages of glorious fact, I even asked for extra paper (which I was the only person to do so). See that's what I can do. Plain solid fact, and that's why I'm taking Journalism at Uni and not English because I don't do well with the analysing of fictitious pieces. Fact all the way please!
But yes, college has been an amazing part of my life, and possibly the best time in the whole of my 14 years in education. Not once in these two years have I been bullied or teased, not once have I lost my friends to evil people, not once have I had to do a subject I really hate. Life has been pretty sweet. I've had two boyfriends (admittedly the first was a jerk I should never have let it go on so long) and my current is the most amazing, wonderful guy ever and I hope our time together is long-lasting and true. We're planning on going to the same University (out of chance) so long may it continue!!

I know that I've learned lots about the subjects I took; how to analyse a text, media theorists, what makes a good advertising campaign, but what I've learned the most is how to be a good person. I know it's rather cliché but my tutors really have taught me a lot about life, out there in the real world where not everything is given to you on a plate and you have to really work towards your dreams because one day you will achieve your goals.
I recently went to a Chinese restaurant for my brother's birthday and in my fortune cookie, it said: "All of your hard work will soon be paid off"

I know that that day will be a good day, but it means that I will have achieved everything I set out to do. But now I know in my heart that I will never achieve everything, there will always be something more, a new goal to strive towards, whether it be getting a 1:1 at University, seeing my child's first day of school, promotion or settling down into retirement and seeing my grandchildren grow up

As they say, a woman's work is never done

Now I just have to wait til the 16th August to find out if all my hard work HAS paid off

Rejected...by McDonald's?!?

So I applied for a job at my local McDonald's cos I'm getting pretty desperate for a job now, and umm yeah I got rejected. By MaccyD's. Feeling pretty low right now
And it wasn't even a proper interview, it was a group interview with about twenty others, during which we had to question another person, ask them five more questions of our own and then 'report our findings to the group', it was ridiculous! However during the questioning section, they didn't tell us that we'd then have to report back. If I had known I would have sold myself a lot more and asked more relevant question than 'Do you have pets?'
So disappointed. And frustrated. I've had so many interviews and they've rejected me on the basis of I don't have any customer or retail experience. But how am I supposed to get retail experience if no one will employ me for not having any retail experience!!

I guess I'll try the supermarkets next...

I don't even eat McDonald's
