Well it seems to happen every 6 months ago and I was thinking about
this thread from just over 6 months ago. So Im going to copy stes format as that seemed to work well.
So onto my update!
Employment/Education:
At the moment I have finished my exams. This means that I am going to graduate sometime in the future. For now I have 3 weeks until the end of the term, which will be filled with nothing but drinking and shagging hopefully. Employment wise I have a summer job lined up doing about 40 hours a week of admin shite. I am then going to look to get another job behind the bar or something to push my hours up to 60-70 a week. I'm thinking about the offer of employment in Japan although im not too convinced I want to go. The reason im not sure about Japan is because I miss living in Birmingham. I miss the food, the clubs, the bars, the lifestyle, the affordability and most of all I miss Aston Villa. Not only this but I have been pissing up the wall for the last 3 years of my life, do I really need to spend another year doing so? This leaves me with a few questions what do I do employment wise? Well I figure I try and apply for jobs when I get back home and see where it takes me, Ill also try and apply for graduate jobs. Im still 20 so pretty young so in theory jumping on the corporate ladder isnt the priority. Saying that I would like a well paid job but dont we all. Most importantly though I want a job I can enjoy. Thats why I wont be going into Law or Accountancy. I may look at following the boy who has cancer and become a teacher, that seems quite interesting and rewarding. We will have to see...
Money
As per usual I dont have much money. I can do well with little amounts of money, ie If I have a tenner I can last a week on a tenner, but if I have £50 I feel compelled to spend it. Ill be in the usual debt when I leave university so my aim is to get a shit load of cash together and start saving. By the end of the summer I aim to be buying a house or a flat either on my own or with a friend (some parts of Birmingham are a shit hole but they are incredibly cheap) This is great in my opinion as it finally removes me from my parents (I get on with them but I have to grow up and take responsibility.) It will also be a motivator for me to save and have a goal. Ive stopped gambling which suprised me to be honest. I havent been to a bookmakers for weeks, havent played poker for weeks and most importantly ive stayed away from fruit machines and casinos. On the whole I havent been as broke as the last two years at University. Now I prioritise. Although im going to be very broke by the end of june. Soon im splashing out £300 for a villa season ticket, £250 for a little holiday for me and my girlfriend and then an assortment of cash on getting drunk and eating well for the next 3 weeks. Saying that ive mastered the art of getting pissed on a fiver.
Girls
I have a girlfriend. She is great. At the end of the term we may break up, but she wants to do a masters next year so we may stay together, I can see myself visiting her as I genuinely enjoy her company and really love being with her. Ive stopped cheating and messing around wtih other girls. However I still have a slight weakness in that I like chatting up girls, although as my girlfriend once said to me you can look, just dont touch. She gets hit on by a lot of lads, so give some and take some. Anyway the main thing is im fairly happy and Im not a twat over women anymore. Im finally content with a relationship im in (im sure now ive said that I will get hurt)
Social life
Been boring for the last 6 weeks as I have had too much work to actually go and get drunk and do stuff. Its starting to pick up again with the end of my exams and I have lots of parties to go too, lots of sessions at the pub with friends and in general something to do every day. I have the summer ball coming up too which will be fun. Cant complain the next 3 weeks will be getting drunk, going out and just having fun, really relishing the last bits of student life.
