AMFI

I ought to post more! I don´t want to use `I have been busy´ as an excuse, it is true, but i could have squeezed some time in there to post some more... I haven´t even had time to see most of the fashion shows from the last weeks of the fashion week! So I will have to get up to date with that.

I am applying to a school in Amsterdam called AMFI, last week it was the selection day, so I went there for the interview and presentation. For the presentation I had to take a process book, and two articles, one business related and the other one related to the piece of clothing that I had to take with me. I shall hear from them in 3 weeks time if they find me suitable for this study. I did get a bit nervous with the presentation, but I think that was because the were more people in the room (luckily the presentation only lasted 5 minutes). The interview went much better, they gave me a second chance to explain my assignments. I was much more comfortable then, because it was just a teacher, a student and I.

For the enrolment at the school I had to take a IELTS test, of which I got the results back this week, and passed :)

I would like you to not look at my previous posts (it will save you some precious time :p), I can also delete them, but than I will have to start all over, and that's what I always end up doing.

So now, because I have more time, I will (try) post more, and related to the main purpose of this blog.

Madrid

Well, here I am again... Still in the same old place. I don´t know if I mentioned I was going to Madrid at the end of the summer and study fashion management at a french school in Madrid called "Mod´art" (in spanish though). 
During the summer I went to Madrid and visit some apartments, the first couple of ones we visited, were h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e. The last apartment we visited was perfect, great views and everything. That same summer, I got a job at Marks & Spencer. One day during work, my sister called and told me that the school in Madrid phoned, but they couldn't get in touch with me so I asked if I could make a phone call to the school. When I was on the phone with the secretary from Mod´art, she told me that there weren't going to be enough people to start the the school year. I think it must have been one of the worst days of my life. 
Now, I´m still working at M&S, I´m pretty happy I can be there. Anyway, if I wouldn't have been there, where the heck would I have been, and doing what?!
The 29th of october I went with a friend to Madrid to a 30 Seconds to Mars concert. We stayed there a couple of more days, and we visited the school, though it was closed because it was Halloween. It was pretty upsetting, because, if nothing of this would have happened I would have been there, and studying what I like. 
On monday the 4th of November, I´m going to Holland because the 9th theres going to be a open day from a school that I´m quite interested in, Amsterdam Fashion Institute. It has three fields, design, management and branding. The one I´m most interested in is management. So I´m looking forward to that day. For the admission requirements, I need to have my IELTS, so I´m on that now. The only problem is that they accept 35% of the people that subscribe to AMFI.
