Well I have finally moved into a real house! It is so so nice not to have to squeeze myself into a shower cubicle and not lock my stuff up whenever I leave the room. The house is lovely and big my room is very small but this is OK hopefully when somebody else moves out I will snaffle their (much bigger) room.
As I am now living with some Kiwis yesterday was spent 'doing' Waitangi Day (I'm not even sure whether I spelt that right.) We thought we celebrated Australia Day, it was nothing compared to this. They start at about 10 am doing a pub crawl around one of the tube lines. I went with one of my new housemates and a few of her old kiwi housemates and by the time we got there it was straight to Westminster, yep that's right drinking Fosters out of a can out the front of the Houses of Parliament/Big Ben and the Westminster Abbey mmmm somewhow it seemed so so wrong. It was insane there were people absolutely everywhere and when it came time to do the Haka it was pure crush as all the guys tried to get to the front. We were in the very middle of it. Despite promises of drinking till we fell over I went home early as the girls seemed to have no real idea as to where they were going and after aimlessly walking around for hours, still lugging my supermarket bag full of beer, I decided it was time to go home.
Tomorrow I start work, and I am scared. This means the holidays are over, it also means that I wont be scared to start spending money. Fiona is hopefully coming down from Birmingham next weekend so it will be great to have someone to go and do some sightseeing stuff with.
The Saffa girls are still at the hostel and we have been messaging each other a couple of times a day. It is amazing how much I miss having those crazy kids around even though I have only known them a couple of weeks. They are still job hunting but are starting to get desperate so I hope it all turns out well. Everyone, well not literally but all the people I know from the hostel have started working for this catering company that caters functions in hotels, they are working 12 hour + shifts everyday, it makes me glad to say that I made the right choice by waiting to come over here until I had my degree.
