Since I last wrote, I have sent off my university
application and managed to find a job, yay!
I am working in the gift shop Past Times which sells some
cool stuff (or I think so anyway). It has gone pretty well so far, but I don’t
get paid until the end of November which is a pain :(
College is going ok, and it has been half term this week
which is weird because it feels like we only just started! What is the point of
half term, really? It has given me more time to work in the shop and earn
monies anyway which is good.
I have done a few more training sessions at St Tiggywinkles
and moved on to larger animals now. The foxes and badgers are fine (although
the ones I have been practising on so far have been pretty flat) but I was
having trouble with the deer. I have decided that the bigger deer are too heavy
for me to lift on my own (about 30kg, and kicking) so I will just pin them to
the floor and get someone else to help me lift them :D
I went to see Contagion the other day which I thought looked
pretty good. I went with my mum (cause I’m cool like that) cause plague/disease-y
type films are our favourite. I quite liked it and it seemed really realistic
compared to something like The Stand where everyone except a few particularly
interesting characters die off. One thing that annoyed me though was the overuse
of technical jargon one minute and the patronising explanation of simple
concepts the next. People who work in disease research are not going to explain
lock and key mechanisms to their equally knowledgeable colleagues! Anyway, I
think it was worth seeing but maybe not at the cinema (although we went on a
cheap night so that was ok :)
).
I am annoyed at the lack of horror movies in cinemas now we
are so close to Halloween. They are my favourite part of the holiday! Except
maybe the sweets.
I know I said in my last entry that I’d try to have
something interesting to write about this time but that has failed :( Have a picture of a
kitty instead.
(I’ll try again next time)
