Wednesday started off a little later than planned as I could hardly drag my buns out of bed- but once I did I got several new applications completed and then hopped on the overground to go see Sandy for a coffee on Brick Lane!
It was a great time. Lots of chatting was had, we stayed until it was closing time and then ran across the way for some take home sushi, that we hurriedly devoured upon arriving back at her flat..Sadly, this still includes the grungiest roommates around- luckily they were not in at the time as they are referred to as 'the funk' by both sandy and Josh. A very a propos name I must add as they are beyond smelly and dirty as far as I can tell with my boots still on in their living room, because there is no way either of us is placing a sock- let alone bare foot in any common living space.
After a lovely evening of sharing interests and anecdotes Sandy walked me to the nearest station and we said farewell. Although I had planned to be back in my hood in time to get groceries- this was not the case so I scrambled back from the station in a bit too much darkness for my liking and greeted Alexia and Phil who were having their usual Wednesday romp and dine.
I retired to my quarters sent off a few more e-mails and then was about to complete my final bedtime rituals when I swung my feet off the bed and in my periphery do I not spot The Largest black spider I have ever seen in real life. I smashed it continuously only for it to slowly unfurl before I suffocated it with tissue from the box I have been bludgeoning it with. I ran up the stairs with its carcass and flushed it, twice for good measure, and then had so much adrenaline flowing I could hardly fall asleep!
Usually, I am not squeamish about bugs and arachnids alike but this one had real personality and just made me think how many of these babies are cruisin' around my new abode.... nnnasty
Undoubtedly, today I am up late- but to a sunny, gorgeous day in London, and I have yet to decide what I will do with it!
Clear skies and clear minds- off for an adventure!

Tuesday Love
Today's joy was the conversation I had with my sister Lizard!
It went on and on that's for the lateness
She is checking in with me tomorrow so we can go back and forth about what we accomplished.
My plan:
Créma Coffee for 9 am with my laptop (and cord) and applications for jobs
Groceries: make list prior to
Afternoon hang with Sandy and/or celebrate Kat's last day of class.

Mama Love
Spoke to my mom after a long day of searching jobs on the web and hanging around the house - which was a bit disheartening as I am hard on myself it seems.
The new plan is to e-mail her everyday with one thing that brought me joy, one thing that made me happy. I am also going to share these findings here accompanied by a photograph if I have one to share.
Today will be my first instalment. Not sure what it will be yet but I will have it posted by the end of the day.

Sunday Night Dins
Stuffed mushrooms, roasted potatoes, salad and lots of wine.
My lovely roommate and surrogate sister Kat made us all a delicious meal. We were accompanied by our other roommate, and four more friends to enjoy these lovely concoctions. A very international bunch, from Canadian, to American, Dutch, Austrian, and French this fact made the post-cheesecake game of Ring of fire particularly difficult (ex. card 10 'Cat- egg- urry' and card 9 'rhyming').
This lovely evening was followed by a sleepover including horrible youtube videos, more wine, and then my bed and box spring were quickly found in the conservatory as I excused myself to go to the washroom. Soon enough we crashed off our £2.99 bottles of wine.
In the am we strolled like a crew of ragamuffins off to the Goldsmiths Café for a traditional English breakfast fry-up. I wish that I had taken a photo to truly convey the state that we were in cropped pants, track jackets and borrowed pink pajamas were involved.
Now I am off to do some job applications that I have promised myself that I will apply to 22 fashion jobs today. Also, I am speaking to mama tonight so this need to be done before we meet.

FASHION THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

| I'd like to leave you with this thought, Men styling their hair slicked to the side. David Beckham had this lovely 'do hidden under a loose beanie, paired with the tattoos and khakis it just makes me so pleased. (dlisted.com) |

boyfriends in the band
Went to a gig tonight with roomies, their friends and a boytoy. It was a pretty good time Kat had coconut beer and LOVED it! Then we had an adventure home... involved lots of walking and being shunned by many a bus and cab driver until we finally got home about one spontaneous dance party, two kebabs and two hours later.
Need to reply to some messages and actually do some applications tomorrow! yayay

What do I want to do while I am here!?
Besties come soon I need to have a gig in place and start planning what we should do

Nighthawk
Just spent the day eating Thai food and then off to a foreign film with friends. Quite lovely. Then back to the pad to put away all my freshly cleaned laundry. Supreme excitement I know.
I've also been spending some of my time here in London trying to get into a job that I would love and pay me for it. At this rate pouring pints seems to be the the most productive alternative, as I will have been abroad for a month this week and the fash gig is still on the horizon... somewhere, please someone realize how awesome and hard-working I am. Thank you.
Trying hard not to be discouraged and negative - but I don't know about you but doesn't it seem that when people expect you to be schlubby, procrastinating, or down it just reinforces you own negative self-image. In my case it does anyhow, but luckily now I have recognized it and I can work and flipping that around.
Off to not expecting others to make my way, or ruin my day.
Own your choices, and don't be afraid to make mistakes and get out there!
