Working update with purchases

Crazy Crazy Crazy....that's what time spent has been recently. I seem to have work in my diary as well as free days but I always seem to busy. How is that??

The jobs itself is going as well as expected with only being there a few weeks i'm finding my feet, learning new things and communicating with the general public. Even though these things are all well and good I just cant help but feel I am slighty out of my depth but at the same time I know I am fully capable.  why am I programmed with self doubt??  One of the perks of working for a accessories company is the 50% discount so as you can guess I have purchased a few new items. A gorgeous semi-precious stone necklace in tones of baby pink with a silver chain, a anklet with little leaf shaped pieces of metal hanging from it and a ring that sits on my middle finger looking as if it has wrapped itself around it.  All purchases that even though I shouldn't have brought have been money well spent.

Happy Happy Happy.

so......Heres to hoping I can kick my self doubt and beat my inner demons to say yes I can do this so please go away.  The next few weeks I am fairly busy with work hours so do forgive me if I don't post :)

This time a year ago 3rd year had begun

September 2013 and I just begun the quickest year of my life to date. I blinked and the year was over. where had all that time gone....???? 1 dissertation, 2 six week modules and 2 9 weeks with the following classification of 2:1 upper second class degree. Thinking about it now I would like to wish all the student out there going into their third year creative or other wise try not to let the stress get on top of you. speaking from experience I got myself way to up tight, put down by others, cried the volume of liquid you would need to fill a swimming pool but apart from the downs don't forget your friends/peers as no matter what they will get you through it as well as family as even if its not said we all care about one another.    
 
so free from education life is an open sketchbook ready for me to document the next chapter of my life from employment, relationships and the ever expanding items being added to my wardrobe.
 
keep posted for the progression in my life :)

The rollercoaster which is life.

With the twists, turns, bumps, ups and downs the best way to describe the days from my last post is that of a rollercoaster!!

From working two jobs to juggling seeing the other half to gym to family AND THE OCCASSIONAL I CAN'T DO IT....I have decided to try and become a more chilled person. Not that I am not already but I am laced very tight sometimes not giving myself the opportunity to just experience.  So with this in mind I have started drawing again (no masterpieces though just quick sketches), doing things because I want to and embracing the words I have been know to say to a fair few people 'use every experience as a chance to learn or develop'.

Job update-----Claire's
With having had what felt like a very long shift of the new job on Saturday (8 1/2 hours) it definitely let me do something I thoroughly enjoy talking to people. I mean who doesn't love to talk?! view all the stock we had to offer, work in an environment that doesn't to a point sell clothing and gave me the opportunity get to know the team members that were in.  Come to the end to say I was tired was true and a little out of my comfort zone a lot true but with most things it takes time to get used to a new roles. sooo.....with a positive attitude and a smile on my face my best foot is continuing to go forward.
