Yesterday was awful and amazing all at the same time!
We’d been told last week we had to decide by today whether we were staying in the house or not, we’d decided that we’d stay and that we’d have months to find a fourth person. Yesterday my friend called me (while I was topless in a changing room) to tell me this couldn’t happen and we had to find someone that day or move out.

At this point I was wetting myself, not only did I not have a costume for my friends birthday but I also had a job interview that afternoon, albeit an informal one but I was still incredibly nervous. (The job is perfect for me - more on that later!) and I had to find someone who’d be willing to live with us in less than a day!

We went up to speak to the other girl whose moving in and we had a few options in terms of 3 rooms going in houses and people looking to move I suggested a guy on my course who I didn’t think was going to move in, but I asked him anyway:

me: “Hi how’re you”
him: “I’m fine, how’re you”
me: “good, do you um know what your doing next year”
him: “no”
me: “How do you fancy living with us?”
him: “ok”

and that was it! We’re signing the contract on Sunday/Monday!! How awesome am I!

Then the interview! The office is less than five minutes walk from my house, its above a really nice cafe, has a pretty little garden and best of all they use Macs! They also have a cat wondering around tehe (and a lovely little dog even if I’m not much of a dog person!) Its quite a small team of people but I could see myself learning a lot there. I walked in and the first thing I see is my portfolio on a massive flatscreen monitor *shudders* I did it in an evening!

The guy was very nice he said I had one of the strongest CV’s but tbh I think thats because he had very high expectations from my course! (note nothing from my course except the flash portfolio from earlier this year has made it into my CV!) I think I know whose the other strong CV is - it’d be awesome if we both got the job (cos he could walk me through the scary alleyway!)

All in all a fantastic day after its awful beginnings. (I didn’t mention the mornings events but needless to say I was a bit of a state - yay for my Mark though <3)
