The Most Stressful Week of My Life

This week, as you can see from the title, was the most stressful week of my life. I had an interview on Friday, for something that I have wanted for a very long time and its safe to say I did not deal with it very well! This week was full of me crying, moaning, getting ridiculously angry and moody at everyone and just general panic. I feel extremely sorry for anyone who had to deal with me this week, how no-one slapped me I don't know.

 

For the interview I had to take a maths test, something I haven't done in four years. Maths has never been my strong point and when you haven't done something for that long it is very hard to get back into it. This meant that most of my stress came from my inability to do what was the considered the most simple calculations. In the end the test could have been a lot more horrific, however I still have to do another one in two weeks time which is just as terrifying.

 

The actual interview wasn't great, I feel that I made a real mess of it in the end, probably because I spent so much of my time freaking out about it instead of just getting on with it and preparing myself. So we shall wait and see what happens, but I do not hold out much hope, I am just glad its over! The one good thing about the experience is I really learnt who my friends were. When I was in complete and utter meltdown and feeling at my most vulnerable it became very obvious who was there to support me. I have learnt a lot about some of my 'friends' this week, with some really letting me down and others being there by my side the entire time, even when they probably hated me for the way I behaved! I am so grateful for the support I received and am now repaying them all with Cadbury's chocolate snowmen, and a promise that I will be there for them if they ever need me.

 

In happier news, this weeks marks the start of CHRISTMAS. My decorations went up a long time ago as university Christmas starts rather early. However this weekend I went to Birmingham Christmas market with a few friends and the celebrations officially began. I spent far too much money on clothes in the Bullring and the market was so pretty with lots of really nice things, I got a really cute snow globe with two snow men in it. This week is also the end of term so we are going out for a Christmas meal, exchanging presents and spending the week celebrating that we made it through the term! It is going to be a very good week. And of course, tomorrow is the 1st of December, meaning advent starts. This year I have three advent calendars, you can never have too many! I have a milky bar chocolate one, the Yankee candle one which I am so excited for, a candle everyday?! Its perfect! And I have this chocolate bar that has the date and a little Christmas picture on each tiny square, it is unbelievably cute!

 

I hope you have a great week and start to get into the Christmas spirit!

 

So many advent calendars!

Its too cute to eat!
