sprints
today has been incredibly fruitful, it's like everything that should have happened gradually suddenly materialised today
1) flat found!
£220/week 3-bedroom 2-storey off york way north of king's cross. not as near uni as we'd hoped, but a hell of a good bargain. apparently the bathroom shower is trickly, but oh well we'll live. it's cool though, there's a patio (kinda like a backyard!), it's 2-storeys, we'll have our own bedroom + a communal area... yay yay yay that's one less thing to worry about..
2) interview 1
i applied to be a volunteer with the chinese info & advice centre on oxford st. to help victims (women & children) of domestic abuse. it's a good cause, i'm really looking forward to it, went for an interview today and spoke some mandarin for the first time in ages. will find out in 2 weeks whether they'll accept me.
3) interview 2
so i dropped off my cv at a café 2 streets away from where i live. then i decided it was time for drastic action and so i went down again today and "reaffirmed" my interest in the job, to be honest i am pretty damn desperate.
thankfully it turns out that the owner and his wife are pretty nice, and apparently i'm the most appropriate person they've come across so far. tried my best to charm them throughout the informal interview, please let it pay off. they've 3 more people to interview, please please please let the 3 people be not as "appropriate" as me :P if all goes well i'll find out on friday whether they want me and i can start on monday. pay's £4.75 and it's 10hours a day but i'm not complaining, i just really really need to start earning money and being economically productive.
woohoo, what a rush. what a day.
.
yesterday's rugby training was incredible! it was actually tough fitness training, like 4x800/400/200/100/50m, followed by like 3x30 press-ups and starjumps and whatnot. and the girls were mostly fitter than me (but then again i am seriously unfit at the moment). excellent stuff, though i'm aching all over today - ouch! - and will probably be worse for wear tomorrow.
but i'm definitely gonna go for skills training tomorrow night. can't wait.
