a house is not a flat. a flat is not a home.

I'm creeping closer and closer to move in and I'm getting excited! I've loved my time with Lou and Katie but I can't wait for my own room. I need to buy linens, and probably some more towels, maybe a couple picture frames and a mirror, most probably from the 99 pence store (pence not cents!). I'm just gonna try my best to make it home. The people I'm moving in with seem super nice, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

In other news, I got a call back from the group interview I had last week! This means I've made it to the final round of interviews! Go me! Oh and on top of that, I have 2 more interviews! 3 job interviews in 3 days. I like my odds. I keep telling myself that someone somewhere will want to hire me. Optimism. This is new to me!

Oh and another cool thing to report. Every year iTunes has a festival in London, so for the month of July they've had a show every night. The tickets can not be purchased; only won via Facebook. When I went to Paolo Nutini, it was because Lou had won tickets. Anyway, before I left Canada I started listening to a band called The Hoosiers; coincidentally from England. Well, turned out they were slated to play the iTunes festival. So about 3 weeks ago, I entered under three different e-mails in hopes of winning. Well.. I won on ALL three e-mails! Yup, that's 6 tickets I won. Plus, Lou entered and she won! I think they knew that I really wanted to go. So tomorrow, I get to go see them live! So exciting.

I also have to add that I have these tiny moments that just seem to happen every now and then. They're teeny and random. It usually happens when I'm getting groceries or waiting for the tube where I just have a huge realization: I'm actually in London. It seems weird seeing as I've been here for almost a month, but yes, it still hasn't set in.

Anyway, I should go - cross your fingers for me on the job front!
