The week before last I was on holiday with my family. We went on a cruise around the Mediterranean which was an experience. Cruising is not my favourite way to travel. I liked the places we stopped at, but we didn’t spend long enough in each place. I like time to explore! Also, being on the cruise ship reminded me of the space ship in Wall-E. Lots of people lounging around and eating and buying souvenirs and eating some more and So cruising is not for me but at least I have tried it!
The ship left from Venice (which I unfortunately didn’t get to see much of) and stopped in in Dubrovnik, Athens, Izmir and Split before going all the way back to Venice. My favourite place was probably Turkey. We went on a trip to Pergamon which was really interesting. I also liked the Acropolis museum in Athens. It’s built over an excavation site and the floor is glass so you can look down into it which was quite cool.

Then last week I had a little temporary job in Next for the sale. It was pretty soul destroying. I spent most of the time picking clothes up off the floor. For the sale I was put on childrens wear. I’m not a huge fan of children, especially when they scream. There was a lot of screaming going on during the day of the sale and it was sooo busy. I have decided I much prefer shovelling animal poo for free to a paid job in retail.
Ooh, and also on Friday I had my graduation! It was quite nice, but the ceremony bit was rather boring. Also the robes and hat were a pain to wear. My hat kept slipping down!
Today I started a work experience placement at a stables. I’ll write a more detailed account of it at the end of the week. For now I will just say that I’m very sore. I can hardly move my arms, lol. I think I need to build up some muscle!
Bye for now!

PS. Congratulations to Kirsty who graduated today! :D
