You Burn With The Brightest Flame And The World's Gonna Know Your Name

[Source

.1. I watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday night like the majority of the UK; I found it a bit boring to begin with but it got a lot better and I loved the music they chose. My favourite parts were probably Mr Bean and David Beckham's appearances and Emeli Sande's performance too. I haven't really been glued to my TV as i'm not a massive sports fan but I love watching the swimming, rowing and cycling even though they just make me feel guilty for being unfit!

.2. I finally gave blood on Wednesday; I only gave a little bit as it went wrong last time and they need to test it to see if I can give it properly again. It wasn't too bad although i've got a nice bruise as usual (my veins are shocking) but a chinese and much awaited catch up with the girls was the perfect way to end my day :)

.3. I found the motivation to start writing my CV yesterday so that I can apply for some placements for 2013. I'm not expecting it to be easy as I have no experience in a marketing job but i'm thinking of mentioning my blog as i'd love a placement in digital marketing or social media. I'm in two minds about it as I don't know if it would actually benefit me to talk about it especially as it's just a hobby but equally I know how important blogging and social networking are at the minute for brands.

♥ of the week: the Sorted website has given me so much food inspiration; I can't wait to get back to uni and start cooking some decent meals for myself! This Lemon Meringue Pie and Italian Chicken Burger are at the top of my list :)

♫ I'm currently listening to: The Script - Hall of Fame ft. will.i.am and Delphic - Good Life

  4. I'm applying for jobs at the minute and whilst my blog is still in its absolute infancy I can't help but think that sort of thing will set me apart from other candidates as tangible evidence of my skills and interest area. I say go for it - being able to demonstrate that you've maintained something that has drawn followers, got them to interact with you and kept them interested could really work in your favour. Cx
