The Dark Night

I'm in bed. It's quite late (01:23). I'm watching Batman: The Animated Series. I should sleep. I think I'll watch some more.

Stuff

This week has been one for preparation and news. Preparation for starting my job on Monday and news in that I have officially been accepted onto the teaching course for September, something which originally started out as an alternative to finding a job as the chance of that looked pretty slim thou it seems I have both now.

Hopefully I will be able to carry on with my job once I have started teaching and the people I am working or say that they will be flexible in regards to my teaching and I should be able to do more of my work from home once I get to know the company.

Employeeeeee

This week, I was offered a job. This week, I accepted the job. I am much pleased.
Essentially I am working for a media company and will be handling all of the media and material associated with advertising and the company's profile in order to improve sales and awareness, something I am pretty sure I will be able to achieve and though I start on Monday, I have already made quite a list of notes to work from. It's a part-time position which means I will be able to keep up with my journalism and script writing and other shinanigans.

Other than that, I am still waiting to see if I have been accepted fully onto the teaching course for September. The course if full-time, which may present some problems with my job if I do get on and start but they have said they would be flexible in regards to my hours once I know the company and what I am doing so hopefully things will be on the up soon.

My test-script is coming along nicely, apart from the slight writer's block which I intend to batter down with copious amounts of olives, jelly babies, chocolate piggies and ginger beer, as well as anything by Douglas Adams as he often provides me with inspiration.

Whether or not the weather is changing.

In moments of nostalgia, we an look back at childhood and remember bright, sunny days spent tin the countryside, getting sunburn, eating ice cream and sweating profusely. To think back five years ago and the weather was much the same, though summer seemed slightly shorter and not so hot. Many would suggest this is the result of growing up not climate change and that no days are as good as the old days.

Then 2011 came along and the total number of days of real summer weather probably amount to around three weeks, before the season abruptly ended and we were thrown once again back into Autumn. Cloudy days, almost constant rain and porridge for breakfast to warm yourself up are one grain of rice in the packet. Tsunamis, famine, drought: they are all in the news of late as well as the ever looming melting ice caps and rising sea levels which have become the cornerstone of the global warming march.

Yet there are those who still insist that nothing is changing, that it is all environmental propaganda and that if the world was heating up, why all the rain? Without becoming too scientific, heat makes water evaporate, water vapour makes clouds, clouds rain. Haven't you been caught in the summer rains on an uncomfortably hot day?

Summer time is one of the few things I like about this country but it looks as thought that will soon be gone leaving me clinging to the nice architecture, traditional institutions and Stephen Fry as the only things I can speak proudly of about Britain.

Inappropriate Professional

After a few days of attempted celebration and congratulations, I am back at my desk, returning to the near endless task of emailing out C.V.s, hunting for applications and writing whatever I can whenever I can. I have finally submitted my paperwork for the post-grad teaching course, very late and I hope to god they accept it, I would enjoy being given the chance to teach media.

Until something happens though, I shall write and write and write and eat and giggle inappropriately whenever the chance should arise.

Bah-day!

Today is my birthday, a day I acknowledge and admire for the gifts but otherwise try an get through as quickly as possible. Yes, I can make time move faster.

Meh

Today was my graduation ceremony. It was ok.
That is all.
