It's all over...so what now?

The last week has been one of great change.

Wednesday saw me sitting my first ever 'real job' interview away from the university.  Without exhausting you with extensive details, I can honestly say that the whole interview appeared to try and delve into my very soul with such ridiculous questions as 'No-one can maintain popularity with everyone; describe a time in which you have been unpopular and have reconciled the situation' and 'what is the worst job experience you've ever had'.  For some reason I felt it was within my duty to answer each and ever question in depth, which in hindsight I should have gone 'to be honest, really can't think of a time'.  And so with that I was inevitably waiting for a fail, and so I got, the next day, via First Class post.  And so yet another job rejection.

Friday started off at 7.30am for graduation.  The whole ceremony, alongside me accidently forgetting my receipt for my robes (and not needing it anyway), spilling purple nail varnish all over my hands (and hence facing the prospect of shaking the Chancellor Bill Bryson's hand and staining it) and dropping toothpaste down my new black top (becoming a potent blemish in all photos), was rather surreal.  I don't know which was the most bizarre scenario; whether it was a man dressed like a town crier making us whoop and 'ogg' and mexican wave to try and get us in the mood, or whether it was walking on stage in utter silence, or walking out to a standing ovation.  But no matter how surreal it was, it signified one thing, the end of my education career.  And nothing sealed this fact more than moving out of my home for the last three years and moving back into my family home.

So now I'm sat on my bed, watching Top Gear, writing this in some vain attempt to try and make myself of some creative use.  And this is where I must say that I am very much likely to become a prolific blogger.  But as a blogger I have established a number of goals.  Those which have been highlighted in previous blogs about getting over the parental insecurity issue, the getting a job and reaching my first £10 000.  But also new one's such as fully exploring the UK and losing the weight I have steadily gained over the last few years (3 stone just at university!).

So here's to day one of freedom, alas day two and three will be consumed by work back at my college, but passed that, what will happen is fully attributable to fate.
