The Class (noun).

Went to my first English class yesterday.

Learnt all about the different word classes; hence the pretentious title. I should probably say re-learnt. I really should remember all this stuff from GCSE but it was 5 years ago and I have an absolutely shocking memory when it comes to anything of importance. Future employers; please disregard that last sentence.

Also, they talked about 'blended learning'; it sounds very strange to me. I think it's supposed to suggest that we learn in different ways, i.e. listen in class, use the internet, notes, etc. Sounds to me like another one of those silly terms that are completely unnecessary but, someone somewhere made up, and now we have to say it. Cheers for that, whoever you are. 

I'd like to point out that I did actually really enjoy it and know it's going to be amazingly beneficial to me but writing about happy and positive things is quite hard when you're as sarcastic as I am. 

Onto a more serious note, getting slightly frustrated at the lack of work coming my way; although no news is good news. Apparently.

Helped out at a local school today (and yes I am CRB checked), being the good samaritan that I am. Went to check my phone at the end of the day only to find a voicemail about a job. Got a bit excited, rang back only to be told it was a telesales job, not a great job but a job. However, whilst on the phone, the person then decided to actually take a look at my CV and realised I had no previous telesales experience therefore wouldn't be suitable for said job. Would've been more beneficial to them and me if they'd done that before they'd decided to give me a ring, but hey ho. Probably dodged a bullet if the rest of the company is as well organised as that.

So all in all, very little progress. Although I have learnt a few more ways to reject someone politely, always useful I guess.
