Another mixed few days, but I'll start with some good news:
I have an interview tomorrow for my dream job/scholarship at my first choice uni
Basically, even though Leeds have yet to decide whether they want me on their student list (despite dragging me in for a 3-hour meeting last year when they thought I wouldn't apply), I have an interview for a teaching assistantship tomorrow. Basically, if I got the assistantship, then I'd be teaching 4-6hours per week in the philosophy dept, and in exchange they'd pay me a livable salary and pay my tuition fees for my PhD. So it'd be training for my dream job AND I'd be able to afford to write my thesis.... So as you can imagine, I'm terrified >.<
Now for a quick rubbish bit:
Me & Joe have broken up
I did it last night. It was horrid and shit, but it was exactly the right thing to do. He was really understanding (which kind of made it worse), and he said he'd still like to be friends, although he wants some space for now (which is more than understandable). So yeah, that sucks but I also know it's for the best. So now I'm just going to try and focus on my career and my family & friends for a bit before bothering with anyone new. I need to get my head clear.
But let's finish on a wonderful note:
My Sadie's coming up!! She will be arriving into Sheffield this afternoon :3
For those of you who don't know: Sadie is my best friend from uni, we lived together from September 2008 til May 2011 and had a ball doing so. No cross words, no awkward silences - just non-stop fun, love, and support. She looked after me when me and my fiance broke up in October 2010, and even though we were living over 200 miles apart she was an absolute rock throughout the ultra shit family & boy dramas I had in late 2011 and early 2012. Sadly, the fact we both went back to our home towns after uni means we've gone from living together and being inseparable to only seeing each other roughly twice a year ...But that doesn't matter right now because she's coming over today! *boogies* So I'm running a few errands once I've come round: tidying and whatnot, then running a few errands in town before collecting her at the station. So excited
So yes. Swings and roundabouts!
Hope you guys are having a good April
