This is my first ever blog. I've always been a bit scared to start one and honestly i'm a bit of a technophobe. Actually I think technology is afraid of me. I was going to start a blog with my cousin but that fell through before it even began. I mourned that for about five seconds until I realised I don't need to wait for anyone and can start this myself. So Voila! here it is. I'm hoping the layout and presentation of this all will change over time, when I figure out how the hell I can actually do so. So in the meantime imagine this page to be a lot prettier. and Sparkly. Can't go wrong with sparkly.
I'm currently in no-where land.
Ok, that's not exactly true. I've finished my degree and managed to get a job at the same school my dad works at (not as a teacher) It's pretty much a glorified photocopier, or that's what I call it but I suppose as many people will tell me i'm lucky to get a job straight after leaving university. I suppose I felt a bit down about taking the job as the interviewers themselves (yes, plural, there were three) told me i was overqualified, which of course made me feel like I could have done better, maybe tried harder for something else. But in this economy it's not easy.
I don't want to work there at all but it's better than sitting at home and e-mailing CVs to companies that aren't even hiring.
My aspirations, hopes and dreams however seem to be never-ending. I have all these thoughts in my head and because I don't seem to be like a normal person one thought always leads to another completely unrelated thought. which is one of the reasons for this blog. An aspiration of mine and my dream job would be in publishing, preferably in the publicity sector in children's fiction. I did one internship at a certain publishing company and that was it. I knew what I wanted. But at the same time I don't know what I want. it's all very confusing and it's not easy. Life isn't all puppies and rainbows. it's hard and you need to work hard to get what you want. And then you need to work even harder to get what you need because what you want and need may not be the same things. See what I mean by confusing?
So this is the ultimate purpose of this blog. I plan write those thoughts, those pieces that contribute to my life in hope that maybe i can figure out what it's about and providing you with detailed and hopefully entertaining posts about what REALLY goes on in the mind of a twenty year old.
