It has definitely been a little while since my last post and I come to you know with teeny bits of news. I've been quite busy the past few days, what with interviews and moving.
So first off, move in. On Saturday, I moved into my flat! Finally. It's awesome. I love my room, with a few exceptions (more on that later). I went to Sainsbury's, which I equate to Superstore, and picked up a duvet, pillows, towels, etc for my room. I got a nice black and white duvet but because they don't have dryers here (unless you own a house) I didn't wash it right away. Bad idea. I woke up and my hands were black. Other than though, I love it. Super comfy. It was nice getting stuff to make it feel like my room. I think I'm gonna have to print off some pictures and put them up to remind me of home.
The downside of the room? It has a big bay window with white curtains making it impossible to sleep in. On Sunday, I woke up at 6 am thanks to the bright shiny sun. This will only be a problem every other day seeing as London likes to alternate sun with rain and gloom. The other downside to this room is that I face the street. London has a problem with foxes in that they live in the city. Hardcore foxes. I don't know where the sleep or live for that matter, but at night they like to roam the streets, picking through rubbish and making their disgusting mating noises. I've posted a link to a video to demonstrate said noises. In a nutshell, it sounds as though babies are being murdered. This was not a pleasant thing to discover at 3:30 in the morning on Monday. I woke up thinking that somebody was dying outside my window. It took me about 10 minutes to realize it was the bloody foxes.
Play the video for yourself and listen in horror as the fox imitates the death of a small child. That's about it about the flat. My flatmates are incredibly nice, which has made it a very nice experience thus far. I'm writing this from the garden/backyard, which is by far my favorite aspect of the flat. It's all decked and just lovely (as per photos I posted previously).
Now onto the job front. I've had 5 interviews, yes 5, in the past 3 working days. Yesterday I fell asleep on the tube ride home because I had 3 back to back interviews consume my day. I don't think the job with Haymarket worked out but I have yet to hear back from them. They like to take their time here getting back to people. When Lou got her first job in media it took the company 3 weeks to let her know. Anyway, the most important one was with a recruitment agency. They took my info and said my CV looked fantastic so they have set up a couple interviews for me this week within media sales. Right now I'm swimming in a sea of job applications and interviews, but it only gives me hope that someone, somewhere will want to hire me. So please, continue to cross your fingers for me!
Anyway, I'm off to make a few calls and probably head to the supermarket to sort out dinner. Love you all and miss you. xxx
