So Long
Excepting my posts regarding the Holiday Drabbles, I haven't posted since September. SEPTEMBER! It is quite shocking.
A lot has happened since then, though things have pretty much remained the same. I got my tattoo, I went to Edinburgh and Glasgow and not only met up with Chiara (chiaw) of pips_n_chiaw but also met another friend who was in Glasgow visiting some family. I got to see Mumford & Sons live (it was completely awesome! I can't wait until April, when I get to see them again - this time in Stockholm). I finished my schooling, of course, and I technically have a job.
I say technically because I don't consider it to be a job, because it's only maybe two-three hours per week (one hour per shift, starting at 7am) and even if I were to work every day (seven days a week, as I have done) I would probably still not really consider it to be a job because I wouldn't really earn enough from it to have that as my job. So I'm still looking, but if nothing else, this particular job will be something else to put on my resume and I get some exercise walking to and from it (one hour there, one hour back home). It's at a hostel, so I do have some receptionist/administrative duties, which is why it is ok enough for me to stay with for a little while longer - it'd look good on my resume, as I am looking for work as an hotel receptionist or as a business receptionist.
But this is also why things don't feel as if they are any different; it is technically a job, but I'm still searching for a proper job. Even if it's not full-time, there's got to be something better than this. The job itself is... fine for the most part, but could've been much better.
I got a new cellphone, I got a big separate computer screen (my little laptop is 10 inch; great for travel, hard on the eyes) and behind the cut is a instagram photo of my tattoo, for those who wants to see it (and didn't see it on facebook). Speaking of which, any one of you on facebook and wants to be friends there? I have to admit that I'm much more active there these days, because although I do check my flist often, I am obviously not very good at all at posting.
So, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day.
It might not be entirely clear where it's located; it's on my left arm, on the "over side" of the crock of my elbow. And that said, I have to say, it looks much better for real than it does in the photo! (And not just because the hair on my arm looks really dark in the image, but you can barely see it on my arm.) Anyway. There it is. I'm quite happy with it. :)
