Murphy's Law and my "Debut"

All is still quiet on the BBC front. At this stage it is a little concerning, given that I could potentially start a work-experience placement with them next Monday morning and yet I am still in Spain, not packed and with no flights booked.

It says on their website:

However, in further correspondence I have received, it says:

...which is a bit confusing! 

I, however, am choosing to remain optimistic and if I receive notification that I have been successful, I will be more than happy to run around like a headless chicken trying to tie up any loose ends here in Spain (closing bank accounts and cancelling mobile phone contracts etc) and hotfoot it back to the UK ready to start bright and early on Monday morning.

I have even been trying to tempt fate. They say that you can wait for an hour for a bus, and it is only when you light up a cigarette that it eventually arrives. Well, I went to the supermarket this morning and was hesitating over whether or not to buy an eight-pack of toilet rolls. (I know, the glamour of my life is astounding). I could either not buy any loo paper, positively assuming that I won't be here this time next week and make do with what I have, or stock up for the next month, and have surplus to wipe away my burning tears of disappointment (how dramatic!). In the end, I decided to throw caution to the wind, be a rebel and buy the multipack. If Murphy's/Sod's Law were ever going to come into action, it would be now. I can just imagine the conversation...

Head of the BBC: Good afternoon Miss. Mills, we have considered your application very carefully and would like to inform you that you have been successful.
Me: Oh... well, that's a pity. I would have loved to, but I can't. I've just bought an eight-pack of loo roll, and well, I'd hate to leave Spain before it was all used up... it's quilted, you see...

Ha! I bought it specifically hoping that Sod's Law would do me a favour for a change. I'll let you know if it works out.

In other news, I received a wonderful email from the people at The Debut Magazine saying that they are going to feature one of my blog posts (The Break-Up) in its next issue. I am extremely excited about it and it has really made my month. It's an online magazine which will hopefully go into print next year for "focussed, motivated and determined women interested in forging a career in the creative and media sector". If you haven't already, like it on Facebook and follow them on twitter, so you can see my article when it's up! :)
