ElyseMainSmWelcome Friends!

This website has changed slightly since I first created it, it used to just be a portal to my other websites and my personal blog. It has changed slightly over the last few months as I slimline what I am doing and focus on the things that are really important. I have moved my web design site over to this site, and filed 2 of my other ideas. ElysianIsland, my scuba site is about to come down, but I’ve moved all the articles over to this one and will continue writing in that category when inspiration strikes!

My most important change recently is that I have decided to re-direct my efforts from working with the web, to training as an accountant. I have just started my home studies for the first few modules of ACCA qualification. My intention is to get a job with a large accountancy firm to help me carry on my studies and to get the practical experience needed to comply with ACCA regulations. I haven’t decided what I want to do as a fully qualified accountant, but the fact that I have options is great. I could stay in practice, go into industry, open my own practice, or use my skills and knowledge to start my own business.

The Bones of my History:

  • 1986 was my big year – I was born!
  • Went to school like everybody else.
  • At 14/15 I got interested in websites and started viewing the source of websites to see how they’d been put together.
  • Got 4 As, 3Bs and 2 Cs at GCSE
  • Did Biology, Chemistry and Maths at A-Level and got straight Cs
  • Also did AS ICT in my U6…and got a C in that too!
  • At 18 I went to Royal Holloway to study Zoology, but hated it so I left.
  • At 19 I learnt to Scuba Dive with the British Army (means I’m well trained!!)
  • At 21 I got my Windsurfing Instructor qualification in Australia
  • At 22 I became hooked on Apple when I worked in an Apple shop ( I was called a geek by several customers – just because I’m a girl and I know SOMETHING about computers Puh! – actually, secretly it pleased me – I’m a GEEK!  *blush* oh God…)
  • Now I’m 23 and I am getting my life sorted out and myself into a career I can really excel at!
  • UPDATE:  I’ve just been offered a place at PricewaterhouseCoopers as a trainee accountant.  It doesn’t get much better than that!  :)

So have a mooch around the website – you got all the pages at the top, and on the right –>
