The Revision Rush

So last week I received my exam timetable. I also got the hand-in dates for all of my coursework projects confirmed. Guess what. They’re all in the same 2 week block. THIS two week block to be precise. Whereas most of my friends have their exams spread over three or four weeks, giving them time to do project work and revision, everything about mine means that I’ll be trying to revise whilst doing coursework as well. Hopefully, I’ll get it done.

I’ve made a plan and it gives me just about enough time to get everything done to an adequate standard, but we’ll see how it goes.

Does anyone else have an abundance of deadlines to be meeting soon?

BEDA: Day 24 – I don’t get drunk, but I don’t care!!

Good afternoon,

Firstly, a huge thank you to those who visited yesterday, we haven’t such a high number of views in a while, so its much appreciated!

Yesterday night I spent, with fellow blog partner Rob, a good amount of time down at the pub. Drinks and banter, cannot be beaten by a long shot. (Except exceptional circumstances, you know who you are!)

Its the first time I’ve been out for a drink in a while, and probably the first time ever when I could look at myself and think that drinking wasn’t a complete waste of my time or money!

It seems my life has finally been turned the right way up. Thank god for that.

What makes this even better is when I get to work and have all the amazing people there. The team is so strong and I cannot help but love every minute, especially when my break coincides with an awesome person so I can have a good catch up and a chinwag, talk about life.

I’m just putting all my problems aside with money for the time being because I really couldnt care much about them. Pay is coming out soon and I know I can easily sort it all out.

 

Such fun!

BEDA: Day 23 – How to make someone smile.

Good morning all, Monday has returned and its the start of a new working week.

Life is going from strength to strength at the moment, new friends, new job, less to worry about.

So I thought I’d make someone from work smile this morning.

I arrived into Newbury at about 8:10, straight to McDonalds, one Cappuccino to go, two sweeteners.

Walk to the car park, wait for her to arrive.

Offer the perfect coffee and a smile. Get hugged and walk her to work.

Smile, hug, get called cute, and head home.

 

I know I might be in someone’s good books today :)

 

Well, It wasn't as perfect as this, but you get the idea!

BEDA: Day 21/22 – BEODA……

It appears that my posting habit has dropped off slightly due to the excitement around the new store opening in Newbury.

So, bring on BEODA – Blog Every Other Day in August.

Yes, you wont get your fill of Rob and I every day now, hopefully that will build a bit of tension for you all waiting for the next post.

 

Work is better than amazing, its fantastic, wonderful, and honestly I feel better than I ever have done before.

I did explain why in my previous post, but it gets better day by day.

 

My holiday has finally been planned! I’m taking a road trip to Rome no less!

Via Monaco and Firenze.

 

I can’t wait!

 

Now who to go with…..?

BEDA: Day 19/20 – Work is Amazing

You know what?

Im glad I have my job at John Lewis. Temporary contract or not, I love it there and I never want another job ever.

The department looks amazing, its absolutely perfect. It really couldn’t be better!

Also, I have turned literally into the walking technology reference guide.

Question after question from my fellow partners today, each one answered in less that 30 seconds. Oh yeah.

 

Plus, there is one completely amazing person who works there who has made my days much better there.

She’s caring and supportive. She makes me laugh and she’s just, wow.

I can’t believe how lucky I am for her to step into my life right now.

She’s the reason, after all I’ve been through over that past 5 months, I’ve learnt to smile once again.\

Justins Job and New Icons!

So today was the grand opening of John Lewis At Home in Newbury and the first day of Justin’s new job in store. Let’s hope it’s better for him than his previous employment history!

I popped along to the opening of the store and I was first struck by the fact that they had employed a band to play at the front of the shop where customers would be greeted by live music.

The band that greeted you upon entry to the store.

Looking around, the shop was packed full of everything you’d expect. Kitchenware, towels, bedding etc. Everything you could want was provided and there was an especially large display of London 2012 Olympic merchandise.

But possibly the best area in the store was the electronics department, staffed by our very own Justin! Unfortunately he was far too busy to notice me, but he looked very professional whilst talking his customers through the benefits of different electrical systems.

Justin, looking professional with a customer.

The other thing I’ve done with my day is to create some new “Blavatars” or Blog Icons for both Running Jump and Eat, Sleep, Procrastinate – my second blog. You can check these out in the left hand side of your adress bar and most likely in the Reader, if you follow the blogs, which I reccomend you do!

Have a nice weekend!

Where Have You Been?

Well, this IS awkward. Not two. Posts after saying I neglected blogging, I once again neglected blogging. I wish I had an excuse…

So things that I’ve been doing are many and varied and rest assured you’ll hear about them soon. I mean I can’t let justin struggle on through holding this blog up by himself any longer. We’d never get views! ;)

So here we go: a final attempt at blogging on a more regular(ish) schedule. I’m nervous about having interesting things to talk about but I guess I’ll have to do it.
