HOLY MOLY PEOPLE!
Just a quick check in. Yes, still in sunny California along with 987 BILLION other people. I do not know where all these people have come from!! HOLY MOLY!! I feel like all I’ve done is park on the freeway. I know I always complained about California traffic when I was here but after you move away and get use to a sloooooooooooooow pace it’s rather over whelming. I forgot about go 70mph then come to a dead stop kind of driving. What kind of drivers are in the UK? Do you find it hard to get to work?? Do you sit on a freeway too?? For hours? Do UK’ers…

Careers For The Big Thinkers Out There
Finding the perfect careers is no easy task. It depends on your personality and your talents. Someone could be technologically-gifted, for instance, but find that certain IT roles don’t appeal to them because they have a social personality and need human interaction. It’s important to weigh up both your characteristics and your skills if you want a satisfying job. You can’t truly enjoy your career if it only benefits you in terms of your academic abilities; you’ll always feel as if something is missing. Likewise, a career that’s exciting but beyond your realm of expertise might be a non-starter. Obviously, you can always study in new areas, but our minds…
