Well, still havent found a place to live. Maybe I'm being too picky - all I really want is a place with internet, a front entrance that locks and is clean. Preferably with a window. Apparently, those places are few and far between... maybe I'll up my ante a little, which may involve getting a bar job as well.
As a result, I don't really have anything interesting to write. I've been too busy trying to find a bed - and haven't been sleeping very well lately. But at least I have a job. I start on Monday, which should be good - will be nice to meet some people.
Once I find a place, rest assured the whole world will know about it.

Classy Glasgow
Man, trying to think of titles for these things is hard.... normally I leave the subject heading blank so that the bulk of the email/post/thing is like a secret and then you read it and wham, your hit by the stunning simplicity and wittyness of my writing.
Can you tell I'm drinking at the moment?
Actually, just had my first Fosters. Apparently its ok to drink overseas - although I never really saw it in any bars back home so never had a chance to try it before. It's a girly beer, which is ok since I'm a girl.
Been wandering around Glasgow and it's an interesting place - one street looks gorgeous and then you turn a corner and there are gangs of 12 year old boys running madly down the road, down another street and there is a 5 minute parade of taxies decorated with balloons and then you hit the main shopping drag... actually, it's starting to grow on me, people seem much friendlier here than London and then there's the accent (the girls will know what I mean :o)
However, it is summer (apparently) and I dont think i'll ever be taking off a jumper...
I've been offered a contract at the science centre here doing gallery/outreach stuff - just waiting for an email so have been ringing people to look at flats... got a few to check tonight. Hopefuly I can find something before the weekend - then I'm planning to head off to Edinburgh to visit a friend I met while travelling. Back to London in a few weeks to celebrate my official disqualification from youth discounts (26 is apparently too old. 25 is still a youth in Europe... goodbye free museum entries and cheap transport) and then THE festival is on in August. YAY.
Missing everyone. Will have Skype up and running next week so I'll set up a lottery and ring people at random times, pretending I have no idea what the time is back home (he he he) - maybe I'll start with Ally who is probably up all night with Thomas anyway (hope it's all going well, send me photos!)
Choos.
