Elephants and dreams

Life has been incredibly hectic recently!  I am surrounded by paperwork which sucks and is such a waste of trees it makes me sad :(  I had a lovely relaxing bank holiday weekend in which I didn't do very much, which was bad considering I had an interview yesterday.  I did enough prep for it, but you always feel you could have done more.  I didn't get it which was gutting but I am glad at the same time since I've been told things about the school that would have swayed me against it.  It was a very old fashioned school, that's what happens when it's run by nuns, and I was there 8hours and I didn't do more than an hours worth of stuff the rest of the day was spent sitting around waiting!  Is any other job interview like this or is it just for teaching?  It's such a draining and disheartening waste of time.  Ok so I got feedback at the end and I have gained experience but really 7hours sitting and waiting and only having the other candidates to talk to it's the most awkward thing ever!  I'm not a talkative person but boy did I talk that day!  I came home cried for a while and the bf comforted me and bought take-away indian for tea to cheer me up :)

Today I came home to a package from london wishes which was a giveaway from the always wonderful and beautiful Laura at a daisy chain dream  I received two gifts rather than one thanks to the generosity of london wishes! :)  I received the necklace I asked for, a beautiful elephant pendant and a lovely bracelet that has dream written on.  It was the perfect time since after yesterdays awful interview I'd kind of given up on having dreams about how I'd like life to be so it was a good kick back into dreaming of life :)  I would have got back there eventually this just got me there a lot faster :)

There were lovely notes on the back of the cards and they came in lovely pouches :)

The necklace which you can find here.  I'm not wearing it now as I've just got in from school and I need a shower after a day of teaching!

And the wonderful extra which you can find here.

Only one more sleep and then another 4day weekend!  So pleased with this though most of it will be spent buried in paperwork I shall still make the most of it with a trip to the beach on Friday.  Yes I know the wedding is that day but I'm sure I wont miss it as it'll be on the news and all anyone will be talking about but it should mean the beach is quiet unless lots of people have the same idea.  Either way it'll be a fun day out :)

What are your weekend plans?  You doing anything for the wedding?
