Dress to impress

Today I've spent the day trying to plan out my wardrobe and all my clothes so I have one less thing to think about this week.
<\br> The practise run to find the fastest route to work was pretty successful not only did i find out how long it will take I even managed to find a way so I wouldn't have to cross the busy traffic intersection. I'm getting really excited about the job now and feeling anxious about it too.
<\br> My clothes is now ironed and hung up in my wardrobe I've worked out the jewellery and accessories I'm wearing too...all that's left now is to wake up on time and hope I don't forget something. Wish me luck.

<\br> Lots of love

Things to do

It's gone past midnight and I'm watching the MTV music awards and can't believe I've missed most of these films...

I really need to go to the cinemas more often or pop down and rent a DVD for the weekend and catch up on all the films of the ast few year.

This all makes me realise the long list of all the things I want to do.

The list of things want to do just grows and grows I want to.....

• Go cinemas
• Spend the weekend lost in a book shop
• Learn Spanish
• Go Spain on holiday
• Use my camera more often
• Feature my photos on my blogs
• Write another novella
• Make a feature wall in my room either with pictures or lyrics
• Start my new job 
• Join the gym at work
• Study for my theory test
• Book my theory test
• Get a driving licence

 ....


You get what I mean the list is endless and just keeps growing.

Freaking out

It's not long til I finish my internship and it's beginning to sink in. I'm still struggling to get my head around it because its all been happening soo quickly. 

Tomorrow will be my trail run to see how long it will take me to get to work. 

Last time I tried to go to the head office I got lost and took twice as long to get there from the station...

It's rather strange how at work I'm pretty organised and plan and schedule really well. Its a complete different thing when it comes to my personal life. I'm messy and running late everyday so I need to try and fix up my life so I'm fully prepared to make the most of what's coming...

Leaving party

My last day at my current internship will be next Tuesday. 

Today was the beginning of the leaving build up. I've only just got home from the first onslaught of leaving does. 

Today was drinks with the guys in the office. We all went to the pub next door and had a few drinks. There was the intern who started same time as me but left last month and there was her replacement

What was really strange about the whole experience was that I was sitting in the exact same spot I sat in on my first day.


It's been 3 months and how time goes by...it was like a strange sense of de ja vu.

I'm really excited about the new job and will miss everyone here.

New job

Today I got a phonecall from the HR team about the assessment day I had on Friday and I got good news...

I got the role as an allocator...Okay okay its not exactly the same as 'The Devil Wears Prada' but I'm going to be the admin assistant for the merchandiser team at River Island.  

They said I got 39 out of 41 in the math test which is a 100% considering that I missed out the last 2 questions.

She asked why I was soo surprised about getting in (I honestly didn't believe I would get the role) I told her about how nervous I was and the way I had soo much more to say and felt like I didn't do my best.

Turns out the group assessment went well and I really was just being really hard on myself. I guess I'm just a perfectionist.

I'm so happy I got the job and now I get to fully reap the rewards and benefits I get from this job. I'm already browsing the online store so I can use my 50% off discount... 


Starting 10th of July I will have a new job, a new wardrobe a new start.Hopefully (I dont want to jinx it) my life will have a little bit of direction and I can get out of this funk.






Lots of love x


  

My own worst enemy

This whole job searching process has made me realise that I'm my own worst worst enemy...



I've always been hard on myself, but lately I've been getting worse, and going to interviews and being unsuccessful really isnt helping. 

For some reason I can't seem to be myself when I walk into that interview room and every time I walk out of the interview I hate myself and I'm disappointed with myself for not being able to do what I know I'm capable of.

Maybe I'm trying too hard or I'm stressing myself out by over thinking everything either way I'm doing everything in the interview I know I shouldn't.

Unsuccessful

Once again another rejection letter sitting in my inbox...

After an hour maths test, sitting in a room by myself plugging numbers into my calculator, I ended up getting another rejection letter. 

Tomorrow I've managed to be lucky enough to get throught to an assessment day with another retail store hopefully I will do better this time andmaybe break the chain of crappy news...

In the morning I plan to contact the HR guy and ask for some feedback as to what I did wrong...how far off was I from 100%...was it required for me to get 100% on the test to be considered for the role...all these things I want to know and hopefully they will help me improve and maybe even be successful next time round...



Lots of love
