After my relaxing week at home, I have found the exam panic has slowly started to creep in as I realised that my first exam is 3 weeks today... Ah shit. "what is this fuckery" as certain people might say. While I should be madly revising, instead of the normal procrastination methods of Facebook, Netflix and other crazy ideas that I somehow manage to have, I am out busy working earning the dolla. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am now a conference assistant for Royal Holloway, and right now I am working on my very first conference. There is actually way less to do than I expected as I think we are just here as backups and in case anything goes wrong or needs doing, and with this conference, it has been very little. Fortunately, as it is an internal conference everyone seems to know where they are going and what they are doing to a large extent meaning we are just sat twiddling our thumbs a little bit, occasionally doing revision more often than not just sitting around and nattering.
As the workaholic that I am (having 4 jobs at uni and 1 at home I think entitles me to call myself that) the fact that I am sometimes being paid to sit around and wait for people to need something is very strange. From working in a busy pub to being a Student Ambassador to Notetaking to most recently driving the SSHH bus I am usually doing something at least most of the time. Ah well, shouldn't complain, it is all dolla in the end.
One of the things I have noticed the past few days working here, due to the long hours (7am-6pm yesterday!) whenever I get the chance to sit down, as we are mostly standing, whenever I sit down I make this really unappealing 'ahhhhhh' noise, like a really long sigh. You know you are getting old whenever you sit down a sigh goes with it!
Anyway, just thought I'd do a quick update on what is going on at the moment, and as you can tell, very little!
Let me you how your exam prep is going - if any, and any top tips on how to stop procrastinating would be really useful!
Have a good week my loves!
Lots of Love, Kate xxx
