CVs and Podcasts

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

So I went into town today with a couple of friends to hand out CVs. I meant to do so starting Christmas holidays but figured I should wait till I did my mock exams and got my predicted grades. So I handed out about 12 today and three places told me I’d be likely to get a position if I were to be here over the Summer holidays. It’s a while to go, but it’s a good offer.

I’m also thinking of starting a podcast, that is somewhat a blog but will revolve more around music (techno, trance, club, occasional rock). But because of licensing I will start out with more unsigned bands/artists and then try asking to use more well-known songs. They’ll probably be more likely to give me permission to use them once they see I have an audience of some sort. So I will be advertising here like crazy when I get started and hope you will all tell your friends =D haha.

I hate posting blog entries with no pictures or videos because it looks so plain, so here’s a song I like! It was between this video or one of gay men, so I figured this one would get less homophobic shit.

Exam Results

Friday, January 29th, 2010

are so annoying sometimes. I won’t go into huge detail but I will bring up one thing! There’s two English papers in the two different exams. I got an averaged A in English Literature which was awesome! Then the English Language I got an A* in one paper! I was raving! I’ve never gotten an A* ever and I really want a good English grade because of art/film/screenwriting aspirations. But the second paper… I’d apparently left out a question, which I either mis-read on what/how many you were supposed to do or wasn’t told to ignore the unstructions and it ended up being a D, even though I got a 28/30 and 23/30 on the questions I did do! One of the English teachers told me my answers were brilliant but because I’d forgotten one… I think this is where I use my brother’s annoying “facepalm” word. At least it only averaged up to a B, but man! I HAD AN A FUCKING *!

It’s only the mocks… but I wanted to use them as predicted grades for part-time jobs and applying to schools. So would it be wrong of me to put A* instead of the B on my CV? Since I know I can get it and would have if I’d done the question!
