Since my last post (another week actually, need to up my blogging game again) I have had an exciting job lead, developed a website, had a really nice first date, been on a fun night out in Leicester with the girls for Grace's 21st, had a lovely meal with the parents for the anniversary and worked on some nice catalogue and promo design work for the pharmacy. Bit busy.
The job lead has involved me getting to the next stage in an internship application process and I was given a pretty tough 48hr brief to produce 3 concept designs for 2 very different companies. Again I don't want to write too much about this yet, because I'm hoping i'll be successful and get to an interview stage and I don't want to jinx anything or talk about my work on my searchable blog before selling it to them. But I was really proud to have still managed to work the whole day yesterday and still produce some really good designs in pretty much a 8 hour disadvantage. I'm so tired now though from staying up into the early hours last night working away at it. Hopefully i'll post up some of the concept pages on here when I can.
Then Saturday night was really fun for Graces birthday :) Here's a few pics from that.
It's only been about a month that i've been properly back in Leicester but I am getting a bit sick of not having Call Lane to go out to. There's only really one bar that matches it in this city. But on Saturday night we proved your never too old to get out on the dance floor and have a dance in a proper club with a breezer. We bumped into a few old Groby faces too... not everyone was that bothered to see us though haha!
In the downtime between all of this, on Saturday and on Sunday whilst on a massive hungover day-in-bed session, I watched the 4 part This is England 86 series. I properly love Shane Meadow's entire This is England film and series work. I love Vicky Mcclure, she's incredible as is Joe Gilgun before he ruined it by getting involved in all that Misfits new series stuff. The costume and the whole way its put together is incredible and in my eyes it's still the most disturbing sexual assault scene i've witnessed on a tv drama. There was also a scene I had completely forgotten about from watching it back when it first aired which involves a really brutal hammer attack. I literally couldn't watch it after what happened to Bowls last summer, I felt so sick.
But ending on a happier note. Last night my mum just suddenly declared she couldn't face not being in London at all over the Olympics and has booked for us both to go down on Sunday to hit the streets to watch the mens marathon and just generally say we were in London for the closing day of London 2012. I'm literally so excited. We've got the tshirts today and defo gonna paint our faces and get fully involved. I don't even know if theres a British man in the marathon, but TeamGB anywaaaay!
Lots of application next rounds love,
Becca xx
