i found jesus (with someone else)
I got a job!!! Hurrah! This means I get to stay in London, no strings attached.
I am being mother's help/a nanny. I will occassionally look after George, 6, Alfie, 4, and Edward, 2 weeks. I will cook, do laundry, play football, clean up, etc. It is from 3 to 7, Monday through Friday, such sweet hours, and pays 8 pounds an hour! That means that for only half of part time I can cover my rent, my food, a movie and a night out drinking every week, and put away enough money to cover my airplane ticket. So, 0 dollars for three months in London! So good I don't have to borrow from my parents. It also gives me time to do my project and to hang out a lot and what not.
I love it here. Had such a great Saturday night at a club with my roommate Thibaud and his lovely friend. So excited to go out with them again, we had a blast. Drunkenly went into King's Head and saw Rachel, too.
Ben writes me nice text messages everyday and calls and leaves funny voicemails. I like him, it is strange to be in the same country as him and not be able to see him. May pop up to Liverpool now that I have secure employment, but I have plans tomorrow night and Christina is coming this weekend!! So probably not. He'll be back Sunday, regardless. Sorry, needed to vent a bit there as mostly I know boys here.
Side note: it is crazy how much just being a foreigner in a place immedately bonds people together, regardless of background. I think that is why the IF'ers get along, we all feel a bit like foreigners in our own land. If not before, definately now. This is an insanely obvious point, but I rather wanted to write it down.
TV on the Radio tonight, so stoked.
