News

Hi people, or anyone who reads this. I have news. Like BIG news. Absolute mentalness. Complete. Utter. Weirdness. Ok so number one. I have a job, you know like a proper full-time design job, you know like one I've been hunting for like a year. Which is amazing, since I thought it was an interview for a placement. Needless to say I was shocked when they mentioned money. You want to pay me? Well heck. So I said YES. (Just done my first week and they are still being nice to me - gasp! Seems so surreal. Still.)

But then last week, I get an email. An email from Elle. That's right - Elle magazine, replying to a request for an internship in 2012. Can I do one of TWO in the next month. I think I fell off my bed. When it rains, it really pours, doesn't it? But the thing is, do I quit the job I haven't even started for an interview with Elle?  When I'm unsure if I can afraid afford to live in the London on my own for a month, I mean it was paid but you don't get paid up front do you? So after 24 hours of stress, tears and hairpulling, I declined the internship, or prospect of one anyway. Yes, I know but a REAL job that was guaranteed. For sure. Yes, I'm practical but that don't mean I won't be chasing my magazine dreams in the future. If it's meant to be it'll happen when I can actually do it. And yes, I still feel extreme guilt for not doing it but sometimes you have to make tough decisions. Did I choose right? Well I guess I'll find out, won't I?

Oh, I don't know if you've noticed but I've changed my blog AGAIN. I can't wait until I can code myself something prettier. Website is still coming, by the way, it is happening, under construction as they say. Also I'm thinking of publishing the half done version of Filmic 6 while it's still spring and starting on 7 when my lovely writer-reviewer is back.  He's far too busy doing his oh-so-important dissertation right now. Pfff. Who needs honors in their degree? Anyway, that's all readers. Until next time. Oh no I forgot, will be uploading some pictures of a mock up website that I finished before I left my placement to go to my new job. That's something to look forward to isn't it? Don't do anything I wouldn't.
