Good News!

Yes, as the title says, I have finally found some work. It's only temporary (for now), but it's Monday to Friday administrative work and it pays quite well so I'm quite pleased about this. I start Wednesday morning so wish me luck!!

Aside from that, I've been keeping busy enough. I wanted to first link you guys to this video of my roommate Gemma singing, from the night I went to go see her and her choir. I've taken a few random pictures as well, so I'll start with one of my little street:

Settling In

So yes, while I have had a "lull" as far as going out and exploring and taking pictures, I can say week has been quite busy anyway. Since getting back from Scotland I have been settling into the new place, getting to know the roommates, and building bonds with new friends (hanging out with people a lot).

So far I am on the right track to never really being bored, because I've managed to meet enough people from totally different walks of life that it feels like there is always something to do to or talk about! So that's great. Even if I am alone though, I'm in London, so there is always something to do and it can even be free a lot of the time. I like that I've already been here because there is less pressure to do all of the "tourist" things. I am really enjoying exploring what the different Boroughs have to offer and I think if I hadn't already been here to visit all the must-sees, I would be feeling guilty!

With that said, I still am without a job so even though part of me is going "You shouldn't spend your day online looking for jobs, you should go somewhere!" I know finding a job is now my absolute priority. Which sucks, to an extent. It's really tough not to get discouraged when you send out 100 CVs in a week and hear back from one place. But that was the situation I knew I'd be coming to, so I can't give up hope just yet!

Some of the cool things I've been up to include going to see my roommate sing in her choir (she's a classical singer in addition to her day job which is awesome!); going to see some independent movies at this neat independent theatre; going to a community production detailing the history of their church in Friern Barnet which is the riding Margaret Thatcher was MP for; having amazing dinner parties with incredibly welcoming friends!; and trying not to spend all of my money on beer and food, etc...

I'll have to start taking my camera around more often, though, because there is a lot of interesting stuff just floating around.

Scotland Video

Just a wee video of some scenery in Scotland. I tried to find Scottish music to play but I couldn't find anything I liked enough so I just used some good ol' First Aid Kit.
