Shattered.... Massive understantement. 2 nights not loads of sleep owell it was a good gig. Was singing karaoke last night which was hilarious!! The best fun in a while. Realised ive been well too miserable recently and people have been noticing! :s I don't mean to be but what with job hunting and shed loads of uni work I've just been really tired. I know what the problem is thou. My life isn't structured in you g from one thing to the next ad not focusing on any thing. I need to focus my energy on one thing and it will be sorted which is why I'm so glazed at them moment.
It's also been confirmed that the bar I work at is closing in two days time. Great tines not :(

Happy as Larry
Well after working a 13 hour day I didn't really feel like posting. so here i am now all refreshed after a really good nights sleep :) got up this morning and sewed a button onto my trousers :) how cool am I and yes mum I managed to sew a button onto something.... well there's always a first time for something haha !!
on a lighter note last night at work was hilarious, worked with two great people. there was one girl in and i think she may have been feeling the early summer happiness because she kept declaring her underling love for me :s and told me I was well fit and gorgeous, flattered I am really but just laughable that she doesn't know the truth hehe ;)
Got an academic conference tomorrow so need to keep working on my Paper, did some last night when i got in but felt so tired so had to sleep. should probably stop writing on this.
oh on the job front i have an email at work so i will go and read that and let you know what it says :)

Offers on the table
Well... I just realised I haven't actually put anything about the stage I am at thus far. obviously i'm not going to name any of the companies and I want it to be noted that I realise that the calibre for graduates is extremely high now. especially with the current job market.
So starting at the beginning I applied for one job and failed on the comprehension round. They gave me 30 minutes to answer 40 questions (really???)
The second job applied for was a big department story apparently its of great importance to understand Eiensteins (sorry if that's spelt wrong :s) theory of relativity for a department store, I just couldn't remember the text.... as if in real life you wouldn't just have it in front of you :s
Have got a job offer working in quite possibly the coolest bar ever. just I wouldn't be able to afford to live anywhere near it and wouldn't be able to commute.... this decision is pending as its an awesome opportunity.
Currently awaiting to hear back from about 5 potential employers fingers crossed xx

Day One
I should probably start by telling you a bit about myself. I am a 21 year old, pretty average guy. I don't suppose many people will even care to read this. But I am going to write this anyway. I am currently in my third year of study at The University of Lincoln. I am studying for a Management degree. To be honest my degree is AWESOME!!!! (and yes the use of capitals was completely necessary) My tutors are pretty cool.... and my Diss tutor is amazing :) no doubt there will be more on her greatness in the future.
I am hoping to graduate from uni with a 2:1 but a 1st is not too far off the horizon hopefully :) Either would be an achievement in my eyes considering that I work 3 jobs (more on that to come (and yes i did just say i have 3 jobs)) I work at a lovely little bar in the centre of Lincoln and have had some amazing nights there. I also work in a clothes shop and everyone there is great too. I also work for my uni, that's cool too cause i get to work with kids who have the potential to go to uni and its fantastic telling them how good it all is :)
Wow I can waffle. Right employment number one.... Retail shop assistant/sunday manager at same shop :) is pretty cool. Employment numero two.... duty manager at the bar sadly this is closing down :( but.....you see prospective employers.... bags of management potential (I joke but in all seriousness I have a full CV and I feel that by demonstrating my thoughts via blog then I may get heard by someone :) )
One last note...... Consider this The Julie and Julia of Graduate job hunting :) a day by day step by step real life account of the struggles that a graduate may or may not go through to find a job :)
