Happy Days :-D

Too much has been happening, but in a good way! Since having completed my course and handed everything in I have been working for the enquiry unit, it has been a rather busy period recently, preparing for the university clearing, and appointing people to work which involves testing them and interviewing candidates, everyone in the office is working incredibly hard! Phones have been busy, which is an always a good thing, makes the day go that much faster and gives me a feel of what clearing will be like this year.

Up until recently clearing has always taken place at the main campus, also known as the Maritime campus. The office was based in a lab on the fourth floor which resembled a loft, a tad bit spooky from the stories I have heard! This year we have had a shake up, we will all be working at the Avery Hill campus in a spacious lab on the ground floor. I am actually quite familiar with this particular lab because I have spent good 3 years there, so for me working there will be rather nice and familiar, excluding the commute that I will have to make every day and the early wake ups.

I would just like to remind readers that the enquiry unit number has changed, it is now 0208 331 9000, if you have any questions about a particular course, fee’s and finance, clearing or anything else then please give us a call, we will be happy to assist you.

After waiting patiently for my results, it is good news. I have passed with a 2.1 yayyyy! This means I have a higher chance of studying a postgraduate certificate in teaching or a graduate teaching programme, which will officially allow me to be a primary school teacher. Exciting times indeed!!  I will be taking a year out to gain some relevant work experience and then back to university for me.  I look forward to my graduation ceremony, which will be taking place in October.



Since I have finished university, all I have been doing is getting fatter (shamefully) I have eaten out many times to celebrate birthdays, finishing university etc in the company of friends. Although my scales may say otherwise, it has been a good few weeks, dining out and eating yummy food! Now to celebrate my results, my mother cutely suggested we have a take away (nothing out of the ordinary) as sweet as my mother is, she hardly expresses these kind of emotions hence this little suggestion made it that extra special. My sister in law bought me a chocolate fudge cake with scoops of white vanilla ice cream, and my other sister in law suggested we go out for some fruit cocktails! (Fruit cocktails because I don’t drink alcohol) I am looking forward to the crazy shenanigans! 

In addition to this, I am trying to convince my father to insure me on his BMW heehee! The insurance will cost a BOMB! He insists he buys me a new car instead, because I can get cheaper insurance and a brand new car for the cost of the BMW insurance under my name. I am not too fussed which car I am insured on, but the BMW would sure be nice! However, when I did a search on an insurance quote, out of 120 NOBODY would like to insure me due to my age and the engine size, great! I will settle for a Peugeot, or perhaps a Smart car J

One shall write to you very soon, ciao for now xxx
