I finnished school a couple of weeks ago had to revise for exams and finnish my art. It was a stressful but an enjoyable time. I finnished my art the day after my exams (i had them both on the same day!) and so I then had the challenge of finding a job. I now understand the difficulti unemployed people face! I was serching for weeks for a temporary summer job that will give me money ad that i would enjoy. I ended up having an interview on the day of my prom, but he woman was forceful in the interview and she threw the job at me. I was told to come in on the next monday for my induction, and I told her i wasnt ready to do as i as told so forcefully and said i didnt want the job, only in a much nicer way!
Prom was wonderful! Myfriends and I had arranged to get a limo but there was a hassle about the company we had hired who said they had had a wedding booked months previusly. We ended up finding another company who were the same price although it was only a week before the do. As im Scottish I am therefore pale, so i had a spray tan and a manicure the day before and then got my hair put up in an elegant bun in the afternoon of prom so i would look my best. Once home I began to get my make-up on and dress on. My family then started to arrive which was unnexpected but it turns out my mum had emailed everyone and offred them a free buffet, so no wonder it was mobbed! my friends that were to come in the limo also started arriving to drinks and nibbles. En-route, the limo had crashed and so we all panicked that we would have to get ordering taxis. Eventually, a massive black hummer began reversin up my surburban street! I wonder what the neighbours thought! We got a big magnum of champers between us and played the dance music loud! We had such a good time and this was before we'd even arrived! Our entrance was the best thing anout it, as everybody was waiting outside. The driver had to toot evetyone out the way and everyone cheered when we got out!
We had a pre-prom reception for parents and then the real thing began. Our dinner was lovely, especially dessert. We had carrot and corriander soup, chicken with potatoes and veg with gravy and then chocolate torte with raspberry sorbet. The sorbet was beautiful but the torte was too stodgy after a big starter and main course. We then had a few scottish country dances and I was dancing with my vertially challancged biology teacher! The real dancing took over ad it was just about dancing, enjoying ourselves and having a laugh!
I loved being dressed up and got so many complements which i obviously loved, but it was also a brilliant way to burry any problems with some people and enjoy ourselves as a year group. There was an after party but by this point everyone was pie-eyed and i couldnt be botered sitting arotund so I went home, happy with the memorys i still had.
The next week was a flurry of parying and job interviews. In the end I decided to work for Matalan, although i was offered another job in a hotel. the hours suited me better ad the job sounded easier and more enjoyable. I begen last week and Im working 16 hours at nights and weekends, but will build it up over the coming weeks to 25 hours. Im enjoying it, although it can be boring at the end of the night when your only clearing the shop. When its busy Im put on the tills which passes time quickly and is brilliant for keeping your mind active.
So this is my new start, a beginning of my working life where every experience is new and exciting. Ive never worked before, or ad to organise my life as I do now im a working lassie. Its refreshing to finally be living differently after years of similarity at school. Now im busy acheiving different goals and its working out fantastically!
