Well as GAMSAT results approach I am getting even more uncertain. To the point where I have actually applied for a graduate position at P&G. Me and my back up plans LOL. I always have back up plans it becomes second nature once life has knocked you on your arse a few times. Well I filled out all the forms and sent off my application and they wanted me to come in for a 'problem solving test'. It was all the way at Macquarie (next to the uni) so it took me like ALL day to sit this piddly 1 hour test. I got there at 10am for a 10:30 test but thought that that may look a bit over eager so waited till 10:20 to go inside to find out that the 10:30 test had gone in at 10:15 and I would have to wait for the 12pm test. I was sooo cranky considering that I left home at 8am!!!!! and I was just sitting in the car waiting. So I went shopping across the road for an hour and made sure I turned up for the 12 test at 11:30 (which of course didn't go in till 12 Grrrr). The test was really easy although everyone seemed to be complaining about it as we left. I got through that stage and had to fill out some behavioral questions, you know the ones, explain a time when you have had to work in a group etc etc etc. I sent that in and I am waiting to hear if I got an interview. I am starting to think no :( . The interview are Wed-Fri this week and I haven’t heard yet (we had to have the questions back by Thursday morning). I am upset that I haven't gotten an interview which is stupid because really I don't even want the job I want to study medicine, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to get the job. How am I meant to get into something with entry as competitive as medicine if I can't even get a stupid graduate position? I am trying to convince myself that it is because I applied for a marketing position and I have a bachelor of science. I mean I almost will have the B Com (marketing) too but if I decide to graduate this year then I wont have finished that (by all of 2 subjects) so I can't say that I have it on an application. I just want my Gamsat results so that I know if I have a chance of getting in or not.
On the move to Picnic Point, Yes it is happening. We are going to move in the next school holidays. I have moved 20+ times in my life and I can honestly say that this is the most uncertain that I have ever been about a move. The house is good, the area is nice I have no apprehensions about that, even the fact that we will have to travel to uni and find new jobs doesn't bother me that much but I feel like I am just getting to know the school mums. James has settled into school really really well and I can se myself becoming good friend with the other mums. I am not the type of person that is comfortable socially. It is going to be so hard for me to have to start this whole relationship building exercise from square one again. Let’s just hope that they are as friendly and welcoming as they have proven to be at James' current school.
