Mom and dad went to city centre airport this morning to catch a flight to London where they waited to catch their flight back home. Where as I went to the international airport and caught a flight to Edinburgh.
Along our trip I decided I wanted to work/ live in Edinburgh. It's the most beautiful city I have ever been to. It is a much much smaller city than London so I feel a bit more at home because it's about the size of Edmonton. Compared to London's 8 million population.
I arrived in Edinburgh in the morning and got a bus to the hostel that I'm staying at for the weekend. I checked in then went out and started handing out resumes. Over the weekend and from being here with mom and dad previously I handed out more than 40 resumes, I have had 3 call backs so fingers crossed I get a good job and then after that I can find accommodation.
Living in hostels are really taking a toll on me. As I'm sure they would on any person! Not being able to unpack, and living with strangers every night. People constantly coming and going and some not being the nicest or best people to live with. It's harder than one would think. Which is why when I get a job I will start looking for a more permanent place to live. Even just for the summer so I don't get tied into a lease. Something where I can basically just have access to a kitchen and a bathroom but still get my own room. I wouldn't care if the kitchen and bathroom were shared as long as I get my own room. That's the main thing because I am really wanting to unpack my suitcase. I can't even do that in the hostel because when you go out you don't know whose checking into your room, so you can't leave your stuff out and about. Every single time I leave the hostel I have to lock up my suitcase with my labtop in it because I don't know whose coming or going. So of course I don't want anything getting stolen.
Oh my god also for some reason they don't believe in having screens on their windows. Which is beyond ridiculous because their pigeons are on crack here and fly so close to you, and flap around beside your ears, and they are pretty much insaine. So of course this would happen to me. I walked into the kitchen and they window was open. I had my back turned and I was starting the stove when I heard a flapping noise and I turn around there are 2 pigeons on top of the fridge! I screamed so loud I'm pretty sure you could have heard me back in Canada.
I run to the door and just stand there looking at these birds and then one after the other they fly back to the window and fly out... Ya fun times.
Another fun time at this hostel that I should mention. The hostel is set up a little differently than the rest I have been to. It's a big building with 4 doors to the outside. 1 being reception, the other 3 connecting you to the flats you stay in, and inside the flats are the rooms you stay in. So very big hostel. Well I am usually really good with bringing my key with me when I leave the room, but this one time I went to the bathroom and I don't bring the key, so the door locks behind me, and I have to go to reception to get someone to open the door. But lucky me I wasn't wearing shoes or even SOCKS! So I had to walk down 4 flights of concrete floor, then outside onto a busy street BAREFOOT! I looked homeless I'm sure! Like no joke if I had sat down and held out a cup people would have started putting pennies into it. That's how homeless I looked!
The weekend went by pretty quick here in Edinburgh. It's Tuesday now and today me and Jadyn are leaving for Amsterdam!
