Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a
restful Easter break! I am! I have been able to catch up on sleep, although I
am still struggling to fall asleep at night…I am just happy at least I can use
the daytime to sleep. I am considering seeing my GP about this…I do not really
want to, because I am worried I will be put on pills. Hmm… :/
Oh! I have some good news I forgot to tell
you in my earlier posts…I got offers for the Masters in International
Commercial Law from both Aston University and Surrey!! I was really happy;
however, after some considerations, I have decided to defer the offers and work
for at least a year and make some money of my own…so that is the plan now. I
really want to work as a paralegal-this position usually does not require
previous paralegal experience, however, all the companies I have been looking
at seem to have picked up a trend of only accepting people with at least 2
years experience…Now how am I going to get experience as a paralegal, if they
only want experienced people? Any tips on anything I can do to improve my
prospects will be appreciated, people…HELP!
Okay, I shall now tell you about my not so
great, great day. My friend, Mel and I decided to give ourselves a treat and go
to the spa…so not being millionaires, we decided to go the less expensive way
and buy vouchers online. We got the vouchers, went for the spa appointment and
had the nicest hot-stone and deep tissue massages. AFTER we had got the
massages, the receptionist asked to take our vouchers...5 minutes later, we
were sitting with the manager of the spa and she was telling us that the
vouchers were not valid for that particular spa but for another one….and that
we had to pay the full £95.
LOL. She was joking, right? No…and she could
give us no tangible reason why our appointment was confirmed using our voucher
reference numbers when we called to book, and why the vouchers were not checked
BEFORE we went in for the massages….so to avoid embarrassment, we paid up,
meaning we had paid a total of £140 each for something which was originally
supposed to be £45. (Thinking about it, I should have asked her what she would
have done if we told her that we had no money because we were relying on the
vouchers, which THEY had confirmed over the phone).
Well, of course this did not sit well with
us, so when we got back home, I did some research and I have sent a very long,
detailed email to request a refund…hopefully, I get a reply with some sensible
news, or else I plan to flood their inbox with emails (suggestions are also
being accepted at this point).
Anyway, the rest of the day went quite
well…we had some Nandos after…I love Nandos (everyone must love Nandos :D ) and
then we went to church in the evening…because it’s Easter time!
I will end this post now…so until the next
post, HAPPY EASTER!! HAPPY EGG HUNT!! And enjoy whatever you have planned. :D
xoxo
