driving miss crazy.

It goes without saying that I miss my friends and family. But I've just realised something that I genuinely miss. Driving.

It's been almost 4 months since I've driven a vehicle. Not that I mind public transport. It's part of London's charm. But since I've recently acquired new music, I forgot just how much I loved driving, most times alone, while listening to music. It was probably one of my biggest forms of therapy.

This isn't me saying I'm home sick. This is me saying I miss one of the minor things that used to play a vital part of my everyday life. I guess in a way I've swapped listening to music in the car for listening to music on the tube. Lou and I take the tube to work everyday together and sometimes I like when she's running late because then I get to listen to my iPod for the whole journey to work.

I guess this is just a small way of describing things that I've swapped. I have a new method of transport, a new job, new friends.. all in all, a new way of life. And don't get me wrong, I'm loving every minute of it. But sometimes, for as little as 20 minutes, I miss Saskatoon.

Love you all xx

Alright - so time for a post since I've started my new job! It's been almost 2 weeks now at Carat and I have been loving it! There's a lot to learn, but I'm embracing it. Basically, I work as an assistant to the broadcast team and mostly just do administrative work. So my days are filled with building spreadsheets, booking tv spots, etc. But the best part has been learning all this new stuff! I sit with some of the TV buyers and they've been really helpful in terms of helping me grasp the industry.

One of the cool things so far was on Monday, it was MTV day at work. They came to work and had different presentations (none of which I could attend - too busy) and then finished the night off with a pub quiz (they're huge over here - basically, you get in teams, go to pub and do trivia questions). The pub quiz was so much fun! I was on a team with Lou and her friend Rachel and it was all music trivia. We didn't do too badly - didn't win, but still - and the winning team (again, not us) get to go on to the finals to compete for MTV Europe Award tickets! All in all, we got to go for a night out on MTV's dime! And in a few weeks, ITV (a TV channel) is taking out all of broadcast for drinks.

The people have been lovely and I'm really enjoying the job. That's about all I can say for now. For the time being, I'm just biding my time until I get paid and then Lindsey arrives! So excited!

Miss you all and love you. xx
