Hey guys,

This is a min rant as I am so tired of revision. Can’t wait to be done with this paper on the 28th of May!

However I know that once that’s over I might be slightly depressed that my first year at university had just vanished like that. Seems like I just arrived here a couple of weeks ago when I took this picture.

Can’t believe this was taken last September! The first time I arrived in Nottingham.

Anyway I hope all of you are well, and if you have exams I wish you the best of luck!

Much love,

Olivia

So before Easter break I applied to become a student assistant. (for those of you who don’t know, student assistants help out during international welcome week at my university answering queries, and basically just there to help with any problems)

It was such a mad rush because I only found out that I could apply a day before the deadline which was the final day of term. So the night before the deadline I was in a mad rush to not only fill out the application form, but to summon myself to start a CV from scratch. (hell)

This CV and application form had to be submitted by 12pm the following day at Jubilee Campus, (I’m on University Park) and I had a lecture to attend at 12. So of course it decides to snow that day!

Anyway, I thought to myself if I went through all that trouble to get this job and I was unsuccessful I will be truly pissed off. Thankfully the recruitment team saw something in my application and perhaps my exquisitely written CV that they informed me they would like to call back for an interview.

Fast forward to today; I’ve got the job and I can’t wait for September!

On a side note: If anyone reading this is going to be an international/exchange student at The University of Nottingham next year give me shout out!

Looks like I can only get my visa sorted out once I get the confirmation letter from the university itself. Sigh. I have to wait for the letter, hopefully it doesn’t arrive while I’m in Australia..
