I need a job!

Since the beginning of this week I'm looking for a job. I shared my CV's in Oxford and Regent Street, I send them by email to all the adverts I found in gumtree. So, I spent my class looking for a job and writing emails to differents restaurants, bars or shops managers.



Anyway, I would like to tell you about the Lateral Thinking. As we were studying in class about the two different sides of ours brains, this stuff about Lateral Thinking can be interesting for you. It is for me actually.

Wikipedia says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking

and to know and read more about this subject you can find lot of sites web in internet talking about it and about the men who found it, Edward de Bono.

Getting wetty

I was travelling around the north of Vietnam and this happened to me when I was in the train from Hanoi to Sapa. We were just my friend and I, as a foreign people (or phalang as they called us there), and just Vietnamese people who doesn’t speak English at all. We found our places and tried to sit in a comfortable way but it was impossible. We had hard seats made by wood and too little one for us. In front of us there was two guys.

After two or three hours, we couldn’t sleep. It was cold and uncomfortable, we tried to sit in lot of ways but we couldn’t still sleep. Then a woman comes between the passengers, she was selling tea and we decided that maybe with a hot tea we could sleep easily. We took a cup of tea and the two others in front of us did the same. Because of the tea was too hot we couldn’t drink it immediately. The guy in front of me drank and the funniest thing of the story is the big mishap he did. He just burned his tongue and because of the hard sensation he just threw the tea from his mouth and splashed me in all over my face. My friend and I’d been laughing and the poor guy was too embarrassed about what he did. After laughing our heads off we tried to convince him that it was ok, it was just funny and there were no worries about it.

Where am I from?

I was born the 14th march 1987 in Barcelona. Every 14th march my mom always told me how the situation was at the hospital this day (as all the mums I guess). I wasn’t a calm baby I thought. I moved all the time and try to speak with everybody. At four years old my parents decided to put me in a French school. And I was there until my 18 years old. The first trouble in school is when everybody was started to read and I couldn’t do the same. My parents were embarrassed and they didn’t know what to do. Finally I learnt with a very funny book about a crocodile who travelled to New York. After that I never been a very good student, always chatting with others student, always trying to do thing to have fun in class, never very concentrated in my work. My poor parents had to visit my school many times because my teachers asked them to come. And then I passed my Baccalauréat and I was free from this very strict French school.

Last September I was graduated on Advertising and Public Relations. I’m very interested and happy about the studies I’ve been done. At the beginning I knew that I wanted to do some creative studies but I didn’t know what. And at the same time the communication sciences really interested me. Finally I found the advertising as a kind of a “creative way” to explore and to be interested in. Finally, I found lot of interesting things in this kind of science and now I’m lost. I don’t know if focus my career in a creative way or to work for the advertising plannification, or to work as a journalist, etc. I’m really lost. I had few working experiences in that as internships during my university years. But as all the students all over the world, or many of them, I am lost on my future career. Finally I decided to take this year for improving my English skills and maybe pass a Cambridge examination at the end. And here I am.

At the same time as we could imagine because of what I said before, the English language is going to be very important in my career, it’s a very good choice to spent some time doing that. I’m a girl who can never be in the same place for long time. Now I finished university and one of the things, which makes me feel over the moon it’s my freedom for going wherever I want and for deciding my future. For the moment my plans will happen in London until august at least. I’m going to take English courses until June and I would like to find a job in a shop or bar or coffee, whatever, to earn and save some money (yes, it’s difficult to save it in London!). At the same time it’s important if I can move around this communication creative etc world, London seems to be the city in Europe where the opportunities are.

And after that I have some plans between find a job and travel. I know that both are possible!

A little bit more about me. Travelling is one of the best pleasures in life. Tourists went on holidays while travellers did something else, they travelled; Alex Garland, The Beach. Playing an instrument, I play the piano since I was very child and now because of I’m moving all the time I can’t and that’s why I’m learning guitar and harmonica (I’m horrible playing harmonica and have to be patient with my guitar but I try!). Skiing is my favourite sport, and I become very sad when I couldn’t go to ski, like maybe this year because my wrist is broken (yes, you know you see me every day moving my wrist as nothing is happening but it’s broke and I have possibly need a chirurgic help). Watching French movies, I’m able to watch a French movie three times in a same day. Following the best American series, Lost, I’m waiting for the last season, which is going to start the 23th of this month. Saving a piece of this world contributing in a project, creating a documentary or whatever is also one of my hobbies project for the future years. If you want to join me, go ahead! Writing, I love writing, to write about my days, my experiences, to describe what’s happening around me, etc. Photography is my new hobby, I was saving money to get a camera and I got it for the last Christmas. And finally I don’t know why but I always spent money buying magazines, I love magazines, all kind of magazines.

And the things I forgot you will know it during this time that we are going to spend together and really enjoy it I hope!
