Hi I'm Annie and I'm a grown up now...

So it's been a while since my last post and things have certainly progressed.

I'm now a full-time Account Executive for the Mustard Agency, having successfully negotiated £2 more an hour than was offered. I've said my fond farewells to Triibe and I'm feeling really positive.

It's been six months now since I left Uni and though I still miss the people, it suddenly dawned on me this week that I wouldn't want to go back. I had just got home from work and went into my sister's room and there she was up to her eye-balls in coursework, as usual, stressed and feeling guilty for coming down to eat dinner.

I realised I had nothing to do all evening other than relax completely and utterly guilt free after 8 hours of well paid work... it was an bizarrely liberating feeling as I realised homework/coursework/assignments/dissertations and the guilt of never quite feeling I've done enough is no longer a part of my life! And hell I don't miss it one bit.

I'm also really enjoying the structure and purpose to my life that I haven't experienced since school. I have made a commitment to work 9-5, 5 days a week and I enjoy the weekends more knowing I've accomplished something and will be rewarded financially for having done so.

I have a wonderfully fulfilling relationship, a true companion and my friends, god its truly like we're not apart. Everyone is so dedicated to meeting up and making it work I couldn't ask for anymore.

So there we are... I'm a graduate and I'm OK!
