Thought it about time to give a couple of life updates!

A lot's been going on since I last blogged. I graduated on Wednesday 6th July at 2:30 pm from Reading University, with a 2:1 classification in BA French. Graduation was fun, and it was really nice to see everyone I'd spent the previous four years studying with, all celebrate together. Below is a picture of Mum, Dad and I, and another of my fellow language graduates!

Post-ceremony!

In other news, I had a car accident on Tuesday on my way to work. I was on my own, but I'm fine, and the car's not that great; we're still waiting for it to be picked up and to receive a courtesy car. It was probably the worst day of my life, and I'm not in any hurry to get back behind the wheel. I don't think I'd ever truly realised before how genuinely dangerous driving a car can be. Sam was on the phone straight away though, and he came to make sure I was ok that evening and bought me flowers (for the first time ever!!) which was really nice. It's our 1 year anniversary tomorrow (although neither of us are sure of the exact date, so we picked the middle of the month,) and he's coming round and I'm going to cook, although God knows what, especially as I have work until around 18:30!

I've got a job interview booked on Monday afternoon; it's based in Horley and for the job of a Recruitment Office Administrator. It sounds ok, and one of their guys got back to me about 5 minutes after I sent my application. Office work is the kind of thing I'm looking for at the moment, although I think long-term I want to go maybe into HR, if not translation. There is a distinct lack of translation jobs around where I live, so I don't really have much choice at the moment anyway, especially without any experience in an office- or corporate-based role. Will let you know how it goes!

I wrote an entry soon after I came home (following my 2:1 announcement) about friendship. I'm still in two minds whether to publish it or not; I'm sure no-one will really find it that interesting anyway, but I found myself thinking a lot about the friendships I have when I got back to Edenbridge. Maybe I'll edit it and post it in the not too distant future.

Dais and I are going to see the Script in Brighton on Sunday night which I'm really excited about!! My Aunt got us tickets for my birthday (yes, in March!) so I've been waiting to go for a while. We're getting the train there and back, so I'll definitely update this after my interview, either on Monday or Tuesday.

Hope everyone's well, check in again soon!! (",)
