Well, not much has been happening since I last posted. And I didn't get my own room that night. Pity. Some random woman came in around 7pm, and then some other random person came in sometime in the middle of the night. The same thing (another random person in the middle of the night) happened last night too. We'll see what happens tonight! There is someone else who's new though. Another girl from Canada who came through swap/bunac. But she's only staying in London for two nights and then moving on to somewhere cheaper. She seems nice though. Maybe a bit young, I didn't get her age out of her, but I'll try! She brought NOTHING with her though. I'm amazed!! She has a carry-on backpack and that's it. I guess she has a few clothes, minimal toiletries and that's about it. I could never do that. Besides, that would get expensive, having to buy pretty much everything when you get here. I already had to buy a winter coat. Which I did! Yesterday morning I found one at Evans. It was on sale too. £50, originally £70. It's black, with a belt. Typical me. I could have gotten this cute black and white checked one, but it was £75 and not on sale, so I decided to save money! I need to buy gloves now. But I can't find any I like. No where has a good selection. I've seen a lot of leather gloves, but I don't like leather gloves. For one, they're expensive, and two, they're not that warm. Anyways, my pockets are working just fine right now. I also bought a new purse at Dorothy Perkins. This one has a zipper and a flap thing, and it goes over my shoulder, so it's hands free. It's a bit small, but it should do the job!

I've extended my stay at the hostel for yet another two nights. So I'm here until Saturday morning, and then apparently there's no more space. So I need to find my own place. I'm looking at a flat tonight, and another one tomorrow. I've left messages at a few places too, but so far, no one has called me back. I saw a place last night which was only okay. Pretty far out, not super nice. The flatmates seemed nice though, easy going, and the double bedroom was a really good size, the single, cheaper one was tiny. Way too small. Not even enough room for someone to sleep on the floor. So that's no good. I hope tonight is better.

I had my first job interview this morning. I don't think it went that well. The interviewer (who was the owner of the company) wasn't that nice. She asked me if I was a good salesperson, and I sadi no. I hate selling. It was the worst part of Air Miles. So then she proceeds to tell me how the job is like selling. you have to convince candidates to sell. And then she was looking at my cv and was asking about the years or something, and I mentioned how I worked two jobs at once, Starbucks and Indigo (because she sounded confused about my dates) and she made a snide comment about how she's not interested in Starbucks, how she wants people to serve her coffee, not make her coffee. Something like that. So whatever, I don't want to work for you anyways. I had an appointment at a recruitment agency this afternoon. That went better. The girl was really nice and hopefully I'll hear from them about a job soon!!

It snowed in London last night. This morning there was snow on cars that parked outdoors overnight. Wtf?? It's October and LONDON. It's not supposed to snow here. I left Canada and its snowy weather behind....or so I thought.
