Rejects and plans

[bending_sickle]

I just got an email from Bristol, saying how they were really sorry and distressed and it was a really terrible thing etc. but alas, they didn't want me within 5 feet of their univeristy. While being rejected isn't cool in any case, I wasn't planning on going there anyway because it's a) a 2-year program and b) focused on British organisms. But still.

After this I'm going to surf around, maybe even on the ever-useless CAPS page, to figure out how to make a decent resume for my TESL course. It's slightly depressing that after 4 years of undergraduate, my hopes of employment rest on my taking yet another course on how to teach English. Have I just totally wasted 4 years here? With the acceptance letter, universities should also give a warning letter, on red paper, saying something like: "This degree will have no benefits in the employment industry. We just want your money and youthful energy, and will suck you dry of both." Am not bitter.

I also want to learn how to make links on this journal, so I can point to better blogs than these, and my most favorite webpages. And now that I remember, there's two message boards I have to check up on. Not that the new BtVS Season 8 ep will be up yet, but there may be some new interesting comments. Have I mentioned I love the internet? And the fans and fics you can find through it?

Ok, I'll do my research and then fiddle around with this some more.

PS: I can't believe I'm going to spend my summer in courses and relearning German. [insert wail of terror/exhaustion here]

Ah, dearie. Be wery careful, the internet is a dangerous place for little girls in red hoods. Better get you some steel toed boots, just in case. Yes, learning sucks, but you can't seem to get away from it. Even when I worked production I had to learn stuff. Yuck. Frig Bristol, they say crisps instead of chips, and want you to "mind the gap". Frig the gap. The gap is The Man. Don't let the man bring you down.
Love Josie

TESL is fun to say!

lol, did someone say The Gap? and i like crisps!

sorry that you feel your degree is useless. i feel like mine is preventing me from working. i passed my resume to a guy who owns an eatery here and he looked at it and said is a confused and irritated voice: "why haven't you got yourself a HISTORY job?"

:P

anyway, helloooooo, my dears.
