I am now just one day away from fulfilling two working weeks at the tourist information centre in Åsele. The workload is pretty uneven - right now it is most answering the phone and replying to email enquiries from tourists. It is a great job though, but I have to say I look forward to the more stressful days.
But where are all the tourists? Potentially they all are in the US as you get more money for your money as a European. Most likely it is just because their holiday period has not begun yet.
I went to the local gym yesterday. A nice place which sadly has not performed well enough financially. Rumour has it that it will be sold to the owner of a local supermarked who will re-open it in the town centre.
Placement
I will be very surprised if I am anywhere but Northumbria when university starts in September. I am really looking forward to finish my degree off, and as I have good and valid work experience from my life before the UK - it might be as well to save one year by not doing a placement.
Another enlighting experience is that I probably match graduate requirements better than placement requirements. One respected tutor at the university told me that I would probably get bored on a placement. A well respected Dutch multinational rang and told me that I was "very interesting" and that they wanted me to re-apply after graduation.
There is still hope.
