But first, St Andrews, again. I LOVE visiting St Andrews, it's such a nice town and I'm insanely jealous of everyone who goes to Uni there. And of course, there are people there I wish I could see a hell of a lot more often. Quite a few friends of mine from school ended up going there and it's funny bumping into them in the Students Union. But people I've met more recently have made it a very fun place to visit. But of course, I'd be lying if I didn't say that my main reason for going there is to visit a certain someone. I LOVE them and I love visiting them. I guess my experiences there are quite/very personal, but I recommend the town to people thinking about Unis and people looking for a nice Scottish sea-side town.
I went to a Ball there and had such a great time. I love dressing up for Balls, and having such fantastic company makes it all that much more amazing.
I was required to go to flight school in Spain in order to take some tests and have an interview to get into the school. It was set to be quite an adventure, and I managed to convince someone special to accompany me there. Whilst the room left plenty to be desired, it had enough, except heating, so it was quite cold.
The weather was very nice compared to England. The temperature still demanded a good jacket but it wasn't that cold, a very welcome improvement on England. The downside however was that in Spain most buildings are designed to be very cool, so that they're habitable in the summer, but tend to be bloody freezing in the winter, particularly at night. So the two nights we spent there were by no means warm.
The tests went quite well, I think I did above average which is good, but the interview went even better and I really feel I made a lasting impression. I think I'll need a lot of help training for proper job interviews, but I think I've got everything else I need to excel!
The one and only downside to this place (so far) is the fact that it's bloody difficult to get to! The quickest, most direct route from the UK is from London Stansted on Ryanair, which to be honest, I think I'd rather herpes. The only other option is Heathrow-Madrid-Jerez on Iberia. I flew Ryanair the first time, but from now on I'll take the latter option. I think the price is worth paying.
