London

My French roommate moved out, so now it's just me and one other girl, she's Romanian and extremely nice! I met her this morning before she left for work. I was telling her how I was going to go to an Internet cafe to type up another resume so I could send it to some employers over email and she said I could borrow her labtop while she was gone! Like wow super nice! I could be leaving today and could steal her labtop but no she just offers it right up to me! So nice. 

So now it's just me her and 4 empty beds, she also said she works a lot and they are extended shifts so I will probably only see her in the morning and that's it. I met 3 more people in the lounge today very nice guys, they are all Italian, 2 are studying and one is working. There are so many Italian people at this hostel! I swear I'm in Italy sometimes with them talking Italian all the time to each other. 

I had my interview and things went really good, I was invited back for a trial run on Monday. I'm excited but it just makes me realize how much I would rather be working in a restaurant or bar. Only because I would meet a lot more people and it would be a lot more of a fun chill atmosphere, where as a hotel is more strict and professional. But a job is a job, and if this is the only thing right now I will take it. 

I finally went grocery shopping because there is a actually a kitchen here! Very happy I won't have to be spending so much on food anymore. There is a pound land also right beside this hostel (basically a dollar store) and I think I'm there best customer. Seriously I buy everything from water to shaving cream to some types of food there. I know I know I'm basically a homeless person. But with these prices I literally have to or like I said- British hooker will have to make an appearance.. Good times 

If I end up getting a job not too far from here I think I will extend my stay at this hostel because the price isn't bad and the rooms are great. I actually unpacked a little and It's starting to feel a little more homey in here. 

I found out that I'm only 2 hours away from Paris by train! Really hoping I can make a friend that would maybe want to come with for a day or 2. I would consider going alone, but that scares me a lot more than this did because of the language barrier. And the fact that I know nothing about Paris or France. Plus my luck it would be the movie taken all over again.  

Nothing seems to change around here. it's hard to explain living in London unless you actually live here. I was so excited to just "live in the moment" or whatever I called it before I left. I'm beginning to feel that I'm more of a traveler that likes to be going and doing things. Just like my dad, he's doesn't like to sit and lay around when he travels. I find that we are both the same in the sense that we like to get out and explore and learn new things, and not spend all your time in one place. Which is at the moment exactly what I'm doing. 

Speaking of my dad I'm so excited it's just over a month away for when him and mom are coming to visit! Seeming a lot more real because we are booking trains and accommodations at the moment! It will actually feel like I'm going on a holiday when they get here! 

I will also have a lot more to write in here because we will be touring everyday! I'm sure your reading this expecting to hear glamours stories of me seeing and doing things but instead your getting let down all the time because 90% of the time i'm not doing any of that. 

Got to skype with Grandpa, Grandma, Jolene and Ashlyn the other day which was great! I also heard that my #1 follower is my grandpa! But no surprise there I'm his favourite grandchild. Duh. Just kidding! Love you grandpa! ❤️ And I want to shout out to my grandma who when we were skyping was so concerned what type of shoes I was wearing. Like not kidding you we had a 5 minute conversation on my runners... Oh grandma how I miss you and your weirdness. Your just like me! Love you grandma! ❤️ P.s I miss your food... 

I want to wish ALANA a happy 22nd birthday today! Love and miss you! ❤️😘
