Authorised Absence

So it's  been almost two months since my last blog and I am pleased to say, things have actually improved.

I sat my UKCAT, my scores are as follows:
VR-620
QR-630
AR-720
DA-720
Total: 2690
Average:672.5
Needless to say, I was very very pleased.

Two days before the UKCAT, I went for a job interview at a famous medical clinic based on London's Medical Mile. I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to be offered the job since they were just a little too well posh for little old me.

So, the next day I sat the UKCAT and the day after was my birthday. It was mostly spent cooking and cleaning and feeling sorry for myself. Until I got a phone call telling me I had by some miracle, impressed them enough that they wanted to give me the job.

I have been there for almost a week now and I absolutely love it. The people are so lovely, the patients are hilarious and the work is engaging. All going well so far and I hope it stays that way.

I have sent off my UCAS application, I have officially applied to:
Kings College London A101
Southampton BM6
Nottingham A108
East Anglia A104

I'll try not to leave it so long before I post again.
