The Future Is Looking Bright...

I have spent the last few weeks seriously considering my future after university. It is such a scary idea that in a few weeks, I'll have finished university forever! Or until I save enough money to do my MA anyway!

During the course of my studies, it has become clear that the education system within this country needs to be improved. I strongly believe that we are losing so much potential from future generations because the education system is not right for them and focuses more on skills suitable for work rather than their natural skills and partially their interests. It is my wish to help, in any way possible, to adapt the system so it does successfully gain this potential and by doing so, we can create a stronger and more self-sufficient United Kingdom.

I want to help people, always have done and I think I can do that, no I know I can! I get so bored at work at the moment with all these ideas going through my head about ways the system could be improved but no one to suggest them too!

So the plan of action is to try and get into Parliament some how. Luckily, I can rely on my big sister to help me out with bits of it!

Easy As 1, 2, 3...

Sorry it's been a while!

I've finally got a full time job though!! Its in a lovely little bistro bar/restaurant near my sister (about 10 miles from my flat) and while I am now a kitchen porter (washing up basically), I'm hoping to get some shifts waiting on tables - the thing I'm good at and enjoy!

Driving lessons have been on hold for a couple of weeks but I should hopefully have one on Saturday! After passing my theory, I'm on a mission to get my full license even more and get a car of my own.

I've lost more weight which is always good :) I haven't been eating as great as I could have been, my shifts at work are a bit manic so sometimes I go a day with eating only a sandwich but I'm trying to not eat unless I'm hungry and it does seem to be working so far!

I applied for an internship in the House of Commons last month and the closing date was Monday so hopefully I'll hear something soon! There's one for the Scottish Parliament opening soon so I'm going to apply for that. If all else fails, I'm thinking of travelling around Europe for a bit or maybe go to New York and San Francisco and...Hawaii (just because it sounds funny!)

Anyway, not much else is new - I'm starting Zumba again tomorrow morning though so fingers crossed I don't make too much of an idiot of myself!
