Thankfully, after what can only be called a calculated assault on the virus by lozenges, honey and lemon drinks and balsam tissues, I am over the worst of the cold. Unfortunately, the cold made an exchange, and is now being suffered by my Mum. In the hope that she will forgive me, I came back [...]

What I did on my holidays, by Graduatecalling

After a few months banging my head on the world of employment, I was able to get away to Chicago for 2 weeks, to just explore the sights, watch ice hockey, eat the biggest steak in the entire world, re-dicovered oreos and bagels, go to the cinema, take the world’s most awful picture of Willem [...]

I am tired after a long day of figuring out (largely by memory, but also largely from Google) how to write a personal statement. From what I gather, it’s like writing a CV, but with more sentences. This occurred today while it rained outside, and I digested the teacher (of the class I volunteer with) thoughts [...]

Still no Guitar Hero from U2 or Bono. However, they do have their reasons! I only bring this up now, as I found some old gossip on the web, and I wondered if it is was still valid.

Ever since signing myself off the dole last month, I’ve become scared of doing nothing. Admittedly, for the last three weeks I haven’t really had the chance to do nothing, but now I am back and sort of settled back into a routine (a routine that means that, for some reason, I have discovered the [...]

U2-Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield, 20th August 2009
Posted by graduatecalling in Not actually employment related, Stunned. Tagged: 20th August 2009, Don Valley, Sheffield, u2. 1 Comment
So, yeah-this is over a week late, but I have my excuses. Volunteering for a week and not actually having an Internet are 2 big factors towards this. My mate Maddy and I arrived only 15 minutes or so after the gates opened, hungover, yet stuffed on chinese food and terribly excited. I don;t think [...]

Yeah, like the title says: I failed the first driving test, with a rather impressive 13 minors and 2 serious. I state that this only happened within the first 10 minutes, and I was actually perfectly fine after that period (whatever my brain was doing while I was panicking was obviously short lived). After I [...]

As I type this, it is a blissful 80(ish)F, and I am typing this under a parasol. I am actually copying up notes I made on a small train journey the other day. However, notes have since survived at least three connections and being covered with the remains of a chocolate brownie, so I am [...]

Assessment/Interview Day 1.

… and I am still exhausted. Tuesday was intense. This happened despite the staff trying awfully hard to put you at your ease. The moral I have learnt is that you do not have to take a drink every time it is offered. At least 50% of what I am feeling can be described as [...]

He has some explaining to do…

When I was kid, I was convinced that the whole ‘Spitting-out-water-when-surprised’ thing only happened in the Reduced Shakespeare Company’s rendition of Shakespeare or in bad sitcoms*. This was until I did it over point no.9. So, Mr. The Edge, I challenge you to a duel. I’m rubbish at computer games, you are admittedly poor at [...]
