Just thought I'd share a story of what happened in my first year of university. I'm in accommodation on the south end of campus, while my politics seminars are on the north end, it's approximately a 15 minute walk. I missed my alarm and woke up at 10:50, I had a seminar at 11! Somehow I made it... How can you explain yourself? Every time I miss a lecture or seminar it's because of my alarm clock, in my sleep I turn it off, maybe I should have put the alarm on my desk, that way i couldn't reach it in my sleep...
I got a reply from that government job I applied for last night, I had to take a verbal proficiency test on their website. It was timed and I had to read lots of text very quickly and answer very specific questions that tested my reasoning and summarising skills. I didn't get it so I applied for a different position in the same company... fingers crossed.
