i love our big red couch in our common room. we just sit on it and time seems to fade away.... and when we finally pull ourselves away from facebook, skype, perez.... or ultimately homework and time kicks back in- unfortunately what seems to be hours later.
today was another fabulously boring day.
just class followed by intern orientation where we learned----pay attention now--- dont chew gum when being interviewed- dress properly and ask questions.
who would have thought to do that in an interview?! Ms. V would have been so ashamed....
after that i felt like i was in supermarket sweep.... we went into primark (aka walmart) to buy some shirts- rain boots etc. because i cleverly enough didnt pack anything but going out clothes, work clothes and shorts... none of which ive worn yet. obviously.
we had 30 min. in the store.
now imagine walmart on the day after thanksgiving sale.
yup that crazy. even on a tuesday afternoon.
i got to the point where i wasnt even looking what i was grabbing i just saw the size and threw it in and ran ( and amazingly got some really cute clothes out of the process...)
the lines are incrediously long- but im telling you they have it down to a science- its incredible.
american stores would do well to take notes from them.
anyways after that extravaganza- we went to Sainsbury's- our grocery store and went up and down every aisle buying stuff to store up so we never have to go out to the store again--- or for that matter go out to eat.
this whole money thing is insane. but i am learning how to properly budget. because being broke (my current financial situation until sunday rolls around) in week 2 of what... 16? is a bit rough.
i guess its teaching me good skills though... like cooking. (jury is still out on that one...)
so now we are all just chilling in our flat.
well some of my roomies went out tonight- but i bought a good 600 page socialite novel turned murder mystery for 3 pounds (i was REALLY excited) and i opted to stay in and read.
yeah i know im a dork.... get over it.
