I need to find a better phrase than 'gap year student'. 'Person on a gap year' just doesn't flow. And I don't really like 'gapper'. But I'm taking a gap year between high school & uni, so 'student' seems ok, so I'll stick with that for now.
Anyway! The post.
1) Between Saturday and today, I have written absolutely nothing on my new story, which still needs a title, although I did spend some time thinking about what my other important characters want at the moment.
2) I've sent off loads and loads of applications & copies of my CV to various ski companies, and had a couple of e-mails back saying they are fully recruited. Two or three of those also said they would let me know if that changed, though, which is good, although I'm not confident about it happening.
3) I went to talk to the chef at the local museum cafe on Saturday, because someone had recommended me to him to be a waitress. He basically gave me the job without me having to say anything. Yippee! Employment! My first shift is on Monday. Only two shifts this week coming, but I hope it will pick up after that.
4) I'm going to a party tonight that a friend is having, just as a get-together before everyone goes off to uni/college in the next couple of weeks. It'll be really great to catch up with people that I haven't seen for most of the summer.
And finally, in the last few minutes as I was writing this, the post came, and I've got a letter from a ski company inviting me to an interview! Yay! (I'd been getting a little concerned that I might have to make a back-up plan.)
