Macro Monday: Strawberries and Sunshine

May 30, 2011

Admittedly this is unlikely to be a post about macros, though this is a rather yummy looking photograph of a strawberry themed breakfast.

Remember the interview I discussed in my last post? Well, I got the job! I am now an Assistant Director for Explore Learning. This means I will be tasked with the job of helping to keep one of their centers running and popular. I am still waiting to hear which center I will be working in, so hopefully they’ll get back to me with that information soon.

The success of my rather short job hunt has made me feel much more excited about life in general, and the prospect of moving to our flat in London soon. One of the reasons I decided not to go into teaching after my training year is because the job makes me feel so old. I miss feeling young and fashionable and fun. Everyone at Explore that I’ve met so far has been so friendly and young that it fills me with optimism. Finally I feel like I can wear fashionable clothes again without looking like I’m trying too hard to be ‘cool’, and I can go on a diet without worrying about looking too ‘young’. I am excited.

The fashion-bug inside me is a huge fan of Japanese styles, the cute and colourful nature of Asian clothes just makes them so fun to wear. I’ve been eying up the clothes over at Yesstyle but I’m not sure if the items would be too small for me, as Asian women tend to have much smaller frames than Europeans, and the sizing guides don’t seem very clear to me. I remember that Camden Market in London has lots of Japenese fashion stalls, perhaps I can treat myself to something pretty when we move there in two months time!
