I’m back. You’re probably thinking:
“My goodness, he hasn’t done anything in ages.”
And you’d be right in every sense.
My life has just been one huge adventure since graduating and I am about to tell all. Here goes. The day after graduation I moved out of my flat in Glasgow (nice big city, lots to do, many friends and a great job there) and back home with my parents in Dingwall (tiny town, nothing to do, no friends and unemployment). As you can probably tell my excitement at this was immeasurable - mainly because it was non existent.
Now don’t get me wrong, being at home with my family is lovely. Proper dinners, actual heating instead of extra layers, clothes getting washed etc. and obviously spending time with them all. The problem is, I used to only see them about once a month and I used to look forward to it, but when you are spending all your time with them you realise the saying is true – absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
Another thing I dislike about Dingwall is the fact it took me about 2 months to get a job…in a call centre.
“What are you doing with your degree, Raymond? Oh, I work in a call centre.”
Not exactly what I had in mind when I started uni. It also couldn’t be any further from the theatre if it tried either. No drama, not much hilarity and there are never any musicals on. But, I have to remember it is just a stop-gap to get me to London
This state of affairs has led me to drink around about a bottle of wine each night now. Up side - it’s not binging if you do it every night; downside – it’s verging on alcoholism. Another upside is I very rarely feel hung-over the next day now. Score.
I’m getting to that point where I have nothing else to tell you again. I told you I’d done lots since moving back home. Get up, work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed, repeat. I literally cannot contain myself. Well, I’m off. If anything exciting happens I shall let you know, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.
