Or the beginning of one.
Only time will tell.
Tomorrow I finish up at university. I have one piece of coursework that's due in, in May, but other than that I'm completely finished. No more classes, no more exams. I'm averaging a nice solid 2:1, which is pleasing. So I'm heading home on Saturday, not knowing if I'll be coming back, and that makes me sad. I mean sure, I'll be back for graduation, but that's just one day...
But enough doom and gloom. In more exciting news, I've got a work placement starting on Monday. It's only a two week placement, but there's also a job vacancy at this place that I've applied for, and I'm planning to use these two weeks as a kind of extended interview process, where I'll make everyone love me and they'll start to think they can't manage without me, and then they'll give me a job.
OK, it might not happen exactly like that, but I'm still hoping that I'll do well on this placement. They offered me a placement last summer, but I was already committed to working at another place, so I had to say no, so I'm glad I'm getting a second chance to go and work with them. It'll be quite strange though - for the first few days the office will be practically empty while the Book Fair's on, and then I guess it'll be incredibly busy once the Fair is over...
I'm sad I won't manage to get to the London Book Fair this year - I went last year and it was an interesting (but daunting!) experience. But I'm excited to see how things look from the other side.
Wish me luck!
