The journey of a poor student to a rich professional, hopefully.

This is crazy

I haven’t blogged in over a year?! I literally can’t believe it. Time flies when you’re having fun, even faster when it’s fun+busy! I’ve finished my placement year and been back to uni, working constantly from then on my final year project and other module work. I’ve also got a job working as a multimedia monkey for the uni’s marketing team, which is a great step up from where I would be doing other part time work; a la Game. Everything is going so superb at the minute though, very very exciting. I proposed to my then girlfriend at New Year in Paris, right under the Eiffel Tower’s watchful eyes. Not only this but my now fiancee has got a job as a buyer’s assistant for Topshop in London which is just brilliant. There is a lot more scope for a job for me down there and I’m so excited to move, which is not long at all; a matter of months! I’ve sent off my CV plus a link to pwns.org and a number of companies have got back to me saying come down and have a chat when I get my results which is more than I ever hoped for. Even MPC replied which is beyond cool, I would be literally living a dream if I got a job anywhere as good as them. I’m quite confident my latest showreel which is in the process of being put together will turn a few heads so, I just need to get it out there when it’s done and see what happens. We’ve been looking at loads of houses in North London and it’s totally affordable if we get jobs, and with our savings so far. With Claire getting offers left, right and centre for freelance writing jobs for various magazines and websites I hope she can prop me up for a bit while I look for work. The student loan is coming to an abrupt end soon, i’ll literally be fending for myself.All in all, life is very exciting at the moment, loads of risks but where is the point in living if you don’t take a chance once in a while? Mine and Claire’s life philosophy is a simple one. Work hard, party hard, make sure that when you come to the end of your life and you look back, you can’t find anything where you think ‘I wish I’d done that’. The bank statements don’t seem to like this idea but; you could get ran over by a bus tomorrow couldn’t you?
