Motivation


I'm a bit of a fan of C.S. Lewis, the Narnia Chronicles really are an excellent set. As I found this quote I realised that right now I do not have a true goal or dream right now. How sad is that? I'm lacking in motivation right now after my idealistic dreams of France have been dashed (for the time being). 

The past two weeks have been spent bulk applying for jobs and additionally a bit of financial aid. After all, if I need to travel to interviews etc. it costs a fair bit of money when you live out in the sticks. So far I've had few responses, a telephone interview today for a Graduate Management Scheme with a well known car rental firm. It went well, I am also waiting until the 15th July to find out about an amazing Internship opportunity with a snowsports PR company based in London. Fingers crossed for that. But I'm not sure if my heart is fully in this job search. A potential opportunity to work in Hawaii has come up, all I need is a Visa and flights and hopefully accommodation will be provided. 

Anyways aside from the job searching I have been trying to get back into my old favourite past times, they're not instilling the calm that they used to. But hey ho. Keep your fingers crossed for me! :)

Change

I ought to let you know. France is a dream I've lost. I'm back in England now, licking my wounds and healing my pride. 

My internship didn't work out, the conditions were changed and I was uninformed of these changes. 200€ a month is not enough to live on in the south of France. So I took a stand and said "F#?*k this s#*t" and came home having made a serious loss of money but a serious gain in life experience.

I'm in Bristol right now sitting in a train to go to Norfolk to visit my grandfather which is well overdue. Yesterday I had a group interview for a recruitment job. However, they sussed my dirty little secret. That I do not know what I want and that's what they don't want. So, now I'm back to square one trying to decide what I want in life!
