YAY!

Got my proper staff pass finally - happy daaaaaays!! I went out one door and back in another as soon as I could, just because I could, haha!

The staff party was great fun - even though I was so tired it didn't take much to get me fairly tipsy - I had a great evening and chatted to loads of awesome people, quite a few remembered me from work experience!

I walked home from the train station at 1:30am in the falling snow making fresh tracks it was magical! Been sledging today - it's all goooooood!!

Going home on Wednesday - can't wait, to be honest, I know working at the BBC is my dream but living away from home for the first time is incredibly tough and I'm looking forward to the break!

I am now in my spiritual home.

I feel so at home at the BBC. It's amazing. When I looked out of the main building window from fourth floor and saw everything lit up so nicely at night and could hear the familiar tube trains going into a tunnel noise, I actually nearly cried, I was really emotional. I never thought I'd be back after my work experience, and if I did go back I never thought it would be so soon. When you walk down the corridors everyone smiles at you, from the smartest suited guys to the scruffiest jeans-and-hoodie runners. Random people strike up conversations in the canteen. It is the most fantastic and lovely place to work and I feel like I am home. Every time I look up to see the famous BBC Television Centre letters on the dotted wall I have a massive smile. I woke up today and thought I had dreamed the day before, but it was real.
Today I nearly walked into someone off the telly and didn't even realise who he was till after he was gone, I was just like, oops nearly walked into a cute guy! I also met Barney the Blue Peter dog who is gorgeous and loves a good belly rub but will get cross if you stop doing it! Everyone is so nice and helpful to me!
Tomorrow I get my proper staff pass, which lets me into the building electronically when I place it over sensors on the doors, and hopefully I will get my computer/e-mail account too - unlike the old place, we each have our own individual account no matter who we are and what our job is. My first task after that? Send a certain BBC Scotland colleague/friend an internal e-mail!!!!
BRING IT ON!!!!!

Wow...

The sun is shining and the sky is blue and later today I am off to work again. Yesterday feels like it was a dream, and I am not surprised because right now I have achieved one of my dreams, and it's incredible. Yes, I am only a runner, but I am a runner at the BBC and just being there is amazing!!

I get my staff pass and all that jazz tomorrow. Can't wait!!

It's weird how stuff works out. I never did believe in fate but ever since I started the Raven forum and got invited up to BBC Scotland and realised what I should do with my life, something's been giving me a huge push in the right direction.

I'm not under any illusions that this will be an easy job or an easy ride and I know for sure that my career progression won't be a walk in the park, but I want it enough, and will surmount any challenges to get it.

This is truly a roller coaster ride and it's only just beginning. But I will never give up!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT THE JOB, THE ONE I REALLY WANTED, I START TEMP TODAY AND PROPERLY IN THE NEW YEAR, HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fail.

Just been rung up and told I didn't get one of the jobs I was interviewed for. I knew I didn't really seem to fit in at that place! It all rests on the other now...

Got an interview at Greggs the sandwhich shop tomorrow too!! Mmmm :D

I feel depressed but also my sleep is awful and I have been ill for a while so that isn't helping :(

The good, the bad and the ugly!

The good - my interview today went really well I thought, and I find out tomorrow... EVERYTHING is crossed!!! I want this so much!!!

The bad - I had my purse stolen on the tube yesterday!! The one time it wasn't in a secure place! Sorted all my bank stuff out, card was cancelled as soon as I found out, but GRRRR, it was MINE, i feel invaded and I want my purse back!! If anyone in/near finds a black/pink/white coloured camo-ish patterned Animal brand purse with stuff in to the name of Julia Edwards, can you get in contact please, I would be eternally grateful to have it returned, it would save me a lot of hassle at least and I love that purse of mine!!

The ugly - the guy on the tube who I think must have pinched my purse outta my bag - looked very suspicious... wish I'd taken more notice...

Oh my word, 2 interviews!

Ok, so just when I was bricking it about my interview tomorrow, I got phoned up and invited for another on Friday! Wargh!
Will let you know how both go and then take it from there I think!
