Had my RVC interview on Wednesday! At the moment I’m
thinking I probably haven’t got in, but it depends on how everyone else did I
think. Some of the stations were really good and others were really bad :( The RVC are
interviewing until the 21st March, so I won’t hear anything until
after then. It seems so loooong to wait!
Even though the interview wasn’t amazing it was nice looking
around the campus. I have been to the Hawkshead campus on an open day but I
hadn’t visited Camden campus before. There is a little anatomy museum inside
which is really cool; lots of skeletons and pickled animal parts! Some of the
skeletons spilled over into the cafe as well. I was sitting in there waiting
for my interview next to an elephant skeleton which was pretty cool.
If I get in I had been planning on travelling in every day
since it’s not that far, but now I kind of want to live in halls again, lol. I
didn’t really like living in halls at Nottingham but the RVC ones seem really
nice and they are just 2 minutes from the uni building which would be nice
(instead of being a 2 hour bus journey away).
Moving away from interview-speak: I have knit this!
Isn’t it cute? It is a bed bug from this book that I
mentioned a few posts ago. I did make him a hat like the example in the book
but it didn’t fit him very well :(
Think it needs some larger needles.

Ooh, also I tried crochet. I think the yarn I have is a bit
thick for my hook size (I only have two hooks at the moment and they’re both quite
small) but it didn’t turn out as badly as I expected. At first I wanted to go
running back to the knitting needles but after a while I decided it wasn’t so
bad. I haven’t attempted an actual pattern yet, I think I will get some better
sized hooks first. I look forward to trying some amigurumi patterns though.
This picture isn’t of my very first attempt (which I seem to
have lost) but is just some single crochet practice:
Bye for now!
