| Dec. 6th, 2008 09:15 pm Ok so I know its been a hell of a long time since I been on here but you know been kinda busy.
Now in university, having no money is less easy than I thought it would be. Maybe because I thought I be a social loner again but instead I have friends! :)
Ok so only two friends really, friends being people u do stuff with and not just sometimes talk to. My flatmates fall into that section, their nice but we just don't have anything really in common so we just talk when we bash into each other which is less now I go over to Jo's all the time.
Oh yeah Jo is one of the friends, she is really cool, a bit horsey obsessed but no one can be perfect and she is great like for example I am no that keen on clubbing, dancing fun and hanging out with ur friends is fun but I dont actually like alcohol at all (or at least all the types I tried by now) and by like 2am, I am just , because of this I am very crabby and snappy. However once in a while she drags me out with her to go and I have fun. Also she doesn't complain too much when I drag her out of there at 2am because I am tired even though she could probably keep going for at least another hour. She likes watching movies, like me, and is even worse than me at the embrassing and scary moments so I don't have to explain to another person why i have my hands over ears, my eyes shut and singing loudly.
James is the other one, I not quite so close with him but you know I always had girl friends before this so having a boy as a friend is a new experience. But he is cool, in his own way, he funny all the time, constantly making me and Jo laugh. He also does lots of silly stuff like play catch and bounce with Jo's gym ball and loves playing with all of Jo's teddies. So much so, in fact Jo is buying him a build a bear koala for his christmas presents and I am buying his koala a tuxedo. Of course this koala will spend all its time in Jo's room because James doesn't want to lose his reputation. I dont know what he's talking about either.
Back on topic, this increase in friends has lead to increase in spending of money on drinks, clubbing, going out to have meals and other activities. I'm not complaining! Ok maybe I am, not the gain of friends you understand but the lost of money. Although we have done fun things like ice skating.
Any way so I know you are all thinking, then get a job. And it isn't like I haven't tried, I have applied to more than 10 jobs.
Well I did get two of them but neither is turning out very well.
The first one is Tinies childcare agency, I was so excited and nervous when they invited me for an interview. I should have seen the mess that interview was as a warning. Ok, so the interview is at 3:00pm and I dont want to be late so I order a taxi at quater to 2 since I didn't want to be late. I know it was stupidly early but this is my first interview, did I mention this is my first job. Taxi doesn't turn up for half an hour when they said 15 mins but its only quater past two so it was OK. The taxi man was very nice but still managed to get as lost once and then in the end couldn't even figure out where the place was so in the end I am 15 mins late. Not a good start. But they were very understanding, say it happens all the time, and go through the interview process, have to pay 40 pounds for a criminal records check but they say they want me to work for them so they doesn't seem like a big thing.
Anyway they told me I got the job on the 8th of october and they said me an email saying they would call me about about shifts. After a week I give up with it and email them saying these are the times I am aviable next week, to email me when they have shifts for me. They dont. I do this again the next week, the week after that and make a last ditch try and email the work place they reply and tell me that the lady I had been emailing was gone on hoilday. They say they will email me with some shifts, fine but they dont but I keep on sending them emails. Til the second week of November, when finally they give me a shift but I am so excited I dont check where it si and its the next day so by the time I find out that it is flippin ages from me its too late so I hatch this plan to get out there. It involves catching a taxi into town at 5:30 am becuase no bus leaves that early and then catching a bus at 6:10 am so that I can get there on time. However the bus doesn't turn up so I wait till 7 am and they call a taxi to the nursery. So they means before I have even got to work I have spent 40 pounds worth of my wages which I only get 55 for the whole day. After work which was fine, I had to catch the bus, however i first had to find the bus stop. It only took 15 mins and then the bus didn't turn up again but lucky the next bus cam early however the ticket cost another 5 pounds. Have I mentioned I hate buses! I only had 10 pounds of my wages left and hadn't even got paid yet. However it was Jo birthday so I then spent the rest on a meal which made up for the bad day. It a hell of a lot easy to laugh at ur troubles with ur frineds.
To be continued soon.........
