I feel under the cosh lately. My “student with no income other than a student loan money woes” are driving a need to find gainful employment asap after the end of my degree so I’ve been trying to manage this process while frantically trying not to let studying balls come crashing down out of the air around my feet.

I’m not sure this is working.

Today I got home from Uni and have spent the entire afternoon and evening cramming for exams, then an email pings into my inbox “blah blah, thanks for applying for the job but we’ve found someone with more experience than you”. Groan. Although its timing wasn’t ideal in as much as I could have done with 3-4 weeks more before going for interviews, it could very well have been my perfect job. Now it’s going to be someone else’s job. I only hope they appreciate it. Not only that but it might have prevented us from bankruptcy! (Not quite literally but close.)

Tomorrow, when I should be starting to breathe again for a short while at least because it’s another fortnight to my last Uni deadline before my finals, I am going to spend the afternoon in a darkened room doing the entry exams for a different potential new career. I hope the time investment in this one won’t turn out to be so fruitless as that one.

So, a door closes, a bell rings, time to fight the next round. Round 3 is about to begin!
