spent a bunch of money (not tons, but i dont have much to through around) to take a day trip to london for a job interview, and then spend the evening with ingrid.
woke up before 6 to run to the bus station to get a 6:40am bus. arrived in London around 11, then had a cup of miso soup as i walked from victoria bus station to waterloo. I had so much time, i stopped and had a hot chocolate while i filled in the remainder of the job app i had to bring with my to soho gym.
afterwards, having changed into "normal" clothes ( not the running gear i had on from the morning that probably smelled amazing...) I walked over by westminster abbey and big ben, which were really lovely, by the london eye, then parked myself on a bench by the south bank and watched swarms of tourists and runners and the like passing by. after taking in some sweet rays i walked around a bit before heading over to soho gym for the group interview thingy.
it was actually a pretty fun kind of interview to have, there were two groups, about 20 people in total i'd say, all applying for 4 open positions. my group had about 12 or 14 people i'd say, most of whom were eager to chat. i'd say it is def. one of the more interesting ways to have an interview, you get to meet some new people, hear other peoples answers, and get an overall idea about who your up against for the job lol.
interview concluded i went over to bermondsey to meet wtih ingrid. we walked a couple minutes over to her really cute flat that she shares with 3 norwegian students. a house full of lovely people! i went for a run than we all left together to head to the lexington for a nordic music gig. stopping before hand to pick up some delicious vegan take-away!
The lexington was pretty nice inside, good decor, atmosphere and a nice place for music upstairs. i only was able to see 3 out of the 4 acts, but overall they were pretty good, very very different, and fun to watch. got mistaken for being norwegian, as everyone else i was with was norwegian. i learned 3 norwegian words which i plan on using in the near future :)
Met a few other nice people, and then headed off back towards victoria bus station for my 6 hour bus journey home.....
somewhere before sheffield there was problems with the bus and we had to switch busses. only ended up being about 10 min late back to leeds. i then walked back to teh house, and immedietly fell asleep, didnt wake up 2 hours later like i was supposed to, so i missed the 2nd part of my interview iwth foster marketing. i dont know if im dissapointed or not bc i really want to get the hell out of here........
you were muddier tonight.....just
