Summer has begun and the Uni year is over... And the job hunt is in full swing... While others may be on holiday, or spending their time having fun, I know that I and many of my peers are stuck applying for jobs. I've applied to about 20 jobs a day for the past month and have still hardly heard from anyone. most of whom I have heard from have said no, but there has been a small handful of people who have offered me interviews. I have a couple today and tomorrow in fact!

Even though the job hunt can be very disheartening, all I can do is keep my head above the water and float on. Not letting the stress bring me down. This experience has been a real learning opportunity and has really forced me to handle stress better, which I honestly think I do far better than before.

In other recent news, a couple of months ago Mel came home with a kitten she found on the side of the road whom we have named Arwen, after the Elf in the Lord of the Rings. A couple of weeks later Mel once again came home with a kitten she'd bought to give Arwen a friend. This kitten was a little boy whom we named Lórien after the Valar (elf god) from the Lord of the Rings. The two kitties are very happy with their new home. Keep an eye on this blog for photos!
