culturally shocking.

Time for a quick blog post. I've been spending my morning drowning in job applications - the job hunt isn't going well. It's only been about a week though, so I still have to be a bit optimistic. If anything I might just have to take a random crap paying job to tide me over until September when I can teach. It is a bit defeating but that's what happens when you're in a global recession.

The other Canadian arrived here on Friday and I picked her up from the airport. It was nice being able to help her out and share the little insight I have. I had a flat viewing the other day as well for a flatshare with a girl called Liz. She's wicked and the flat was super nice, so cross your fingers for me! A plus is this its just done the road from Lou and Katie's, which also makes it a minutes walk away form the tube station and a supermarket!

We're going to catch Harry Potter at the Imax on Friday. Lou booked the tickets well in advance so we've got awesome seats. On a side note, when you go the movies here and buy your tickets, you actually book your seats. The guy literally turns the screen to you and asks you which seats you want. It's phenomenal. So note to Canada, get up to speed with England.

In other news, as August approaches more and more things keep popping up -- which just reiterates how badly I need a job! Lou's birthday is August 19th and she's planned a 4 day celebration for it (greedy bitch, most people get 1 day!). For her actual party, she's having a "P Party" which basically means everyone has to dress in something starting with the letter P. I've gotten my costume already for really cheap - Pink Lady! (Grease, not the apple). So excited.

Anyway, I should get back to the job hunt. It's so tedious and I've gotten to the point that I feel like a robot.

Oh and as for the culturally shocking bit, British television is awesome. For real. They have awesome shows that I've become hooked on like 8 out of 10 Cats and Chatty Man with Alan Carr. They're hysterical. Oh and did I mention they love Russell Brand here and play his stand up on cable all the time?! Yeah, I'm in heaven.
