I went through two town centres hunting for a job today. Considering Luton had a population of 230 000 people, that is a very large town centre.

How many suitable vacancies did I find?

Yes. One. I have handed my CV in... let's just see what happens now.


In other news, my statistics exam today went well - I'm predicting myself anything from a very high B to a high A, which means I can afford to lose some marks in mechanics, which is very difficult!


In yet other news... er... French politics. Yes. I'm shamelessly sneaking it in now that you've already started reading. The right-wing party has kept its majority in parliament with 311 of the 577 seats, but it lost 58 seats compared to last year, compared to the Socialist gaining 70 seats! Which is an unexpected and wonderful swing to the left, but unfortunately not enough to stop Mr Sarkozy turning France into another UK.
