I am half way through my summer holiday and I have completed and passed my first year of university and I a lot has happened in this past year that I never could have prepared myself for. It was really fun and I had my ups and downs and I think this year I cried about 3 or 4 times. Which is very rare for me but it happens and I am so glad that I get to experience the university life with some amazing people.
I got my results and the course I do is business management and accounting and finance and there were 6 modules and I got three 1st grades one for accounting, quantitative methods and entrepreneurship. I think I was really excited with the entrepreneurship because it was my first 1st basically. Accounting was my highest 1st though which I am really proud of.
Economics I didn't like that much but I forced myself to do it and I passed it, and overall I got a 2.1, which I am very happy about because I get to do the internship for the other half of my second year if I can get a placement basically. Which brings me to now where I am and I just want to say who would have thought it would be so hard to volunteer. Its so annoying that people who volunteer at British heart foundation are soo rude. Like why do you work in a charity yet you are so rude....like really.
I gave an application form to Oxfam got nothing back and other places I haven't heard anything and so I tried applying for jobs and I have to say that they are more opportunities now than before so maybe Cameron's policies are actually working. I still don't have a job though but I got a call today though and it gave me hope that with my degree I will be able to get a good job quite easily. If I want a decent job though I will probably have to improve on my searching skills.
I am so bored though, like its depressing just being at home I think the summer I worked at Randstad went by so quick because I had something to do and I know I should enjoy this time because hopefully for decades to come I am going to get only 28 days leave and I will work a lot and to some people that might be sad or whatever and I will probably complain when I get there but I can't wait to work and I know that accounting I will probably find it hard to begin with but I know that I will love my job as it will challenges me and that's what I like.
Also the money will be good and it seems that once you are in you will progress quite quickly. There are so many routes that you can progress into if you want to be an accountant and I really don't know yet and I know I will need to do more research on different companies and career directions so that I don't make a mistake or something and I don't want money to be my influence if that makes sense.
Other than that I want to apply to volunteer with the local council and get some experience. They were the only one's that replied to me and hopefully they will give me some experience and a reference and I think I might go for working at the food bank and will see how that will go. I am going to send that application form tonight. I promise that.
