- Robin Hood -

First of all, my interview was cancelled today because none of the managers were there (?) - Thanks for telling me! So yeah, I went there and they said they'd notify the managers and give me a call. But I don't really want to work there, it's just that it would've been so convenient to be able to walk to work! Nevermind. I've got two other interviews tomorrow, one in Covent Garden (also within walking distance) and one close to barbican (not so much within walking distance) - I have a feeling both of them are gonna be these informal interviews where they ask you all kinds of non-standard crazy questions and you have to do a little bit of role-play as well - wouldn't surprise me because they asked me to set aside an hour and a half, and that it was going to be a group interview! We'll see tomorrow!
Anyway, on my way to the gym I picked up Karina from her work place. Didn't know whether or not she'd be there so I just thought I'd check and she was! She had just finished work so she came with me to that gym on the Strand - we had a look around and it was really good - it had a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, saunas, they had lots of treadmills in the gym and 3 rooms for classes (spinning, cardio, yoga). It all seemed great, and it's within walking distance from home (and from work if I get the job in Covent Garden) so I joined!! He was able to give me a student discount, even though you have to be under 23 (strange age limit?) and he threw in some other discounts as well, but even with that I am paying a monthly FORTUNE for my membership so I am gonna have to live at the gym this summer!!
After that Karina said she wanted to go see Robin Hood at CineWorld and since I am a student and get discounts there as well (:P) I tagged along! We went to Trocadero (a mall/archade type of thing close to Picadilly) and got our tickets and then we had just enough time to have a couple of pizza slices on leicester sq - yum!
The movie was good. Not great, not revolutionary. It was just one of those movies with a little bit of excitement but not too much, a little bit of romance but not too much and so on. There could have been more of everything but you still walked away pretty satisfied.. Then we walked home! Or Karina walked with me to lambeth north and then got a bus home! I love the fact that I live so close to the very centre! It's kinda perfect :)

- LONDON -

I have arrived! I'm sitting on my double bed (brand new and very comfortable!) in my own room in my new flat, feeling good. My flatmates are SO nice, seroiusly, they've been really helpful and welcoming! They even saved me some spaghetti bolognese last night in case I'd be hungry, how cool is that!´
I've got an interview at 3.30 pm, at a restaurant that's literally a 10 min walk from here! We'll see how it goes! I have a couple more interviews in the next couple of days so I'm pretty optimistic about finding a job.
Oh and, I've found a gym that I think I'll join this week!! It's on the Strand and they have classes that I think I'll like (Body Step, Body Attack, Dance Aerobics, Spinning, etc), I've got an appointment with one of the instructors today who's gonna show me around and go through the memberships. I'm so excited! I need to join a gym ASAP, because I don't want to be away from the gym for too long (want to keep fit!).
Gonna surprise a friend of mine at her workplace later I think :) She doesn't know I'm here so, shall be fun!

So yeah, that's all for now I think, gonna put my face on and get going!

- Tea and Vitamins -

I think I'm coming down with a cold :( I sure hope it'll just stay at a sore throat (please spare me the runny nose and exhaustion part!) - I'm thinking lots of tea, vitamins and a handfull of paracetamols? Hopefully it'll work..

Seriously, I'm so broke right now, it's not even funny.. I've literally got a few coins and a gum wrapper to live off of.. Luckily, I think I have some money coming my way soon so I just have to make 'em last til the end of the week. I've been walking around for weeks proclaiming my weak and vulnerable account status, but I could never have foreseen it'd get to this!! To a point where I can't get the bus because the credit on my bus pass is about to run out! To a point where I actually have to eat less not to deplete my already scarce food stock too! Anyway.. kudos to me for actually not hitting the wall sooner (due to shopaholism)...!

Don't let the slight smirk in the pic fool u.. Everything sucks right now. Wish I could just drop everything and start over somewhere else. That's what I need right now. A. Fresh. Start.

- Saturday -

Feels like any other day. When I'm working full time I think to myself 'maaan, when I was studying I could study whenever I felt like it and when I didn't, I just didn't..' And when I'm studying I think to myself 'maaan, atleast when I was working I knew my days off were really my days off, and I could relax fully..'. Never satisfied, hey?

- Good Day -

Because: I finally got to have pizza at my favourite pizza place :), I did some second hand shopping, I hung out with mom and babysis, we went to see my aunt, uncle and cousin (and their german shepherd), aaaand (insert drumroll) I did 80 min on the treadmill!! Not necessarily in that order though.

The one good thing about winter is that it makes you appreciate summer even more...
