So my big interview was today and it went well! Me getting there is a bit of another story but you'll hear about that in a second haha. I had my interview at 2 pm today which now looking back I wish it had been a little earlier because waiting till 2 seemed like it took FOREVER. I woke up early because I couldn't sleep very well because I was so nervous about the interview. I got up around 10 though, went and got me a Starbucks, got ready, and was on my way.
So getting to my interview was quite interesting. I had to take not 2 but 3 different trains to get there, 1 of which was an overground train and I didn't even know that London had those. I surprisingly didn't get on the wrong train or anything though so I was very happy about that. The Tube is pretty easy to work so getting there to and from won't be too bad at all. The getting off the Tube part was the interesting thing. So I'm the only person to get off at my station and there's no like real entrance or exit to the station its just like a walkway down to the street. As I walk to the street, there is like no one around and I'm in a neighborhood full of warehouses with graffiti all over them. I felt super out of place because I was dressed in a black skirt, silk top, flats, and a blazer. So here is me walking along trying to find this place and not going to lie a little scared. I finally found the building, but then I couldn't figure out how to get in! I see these punk looking guys and a sign for a cafe so I ask them if they know where the designer's studio was. They needed the number for the building but of course I didn't have that. So I ended up having to call her and I forgot to mention that I was like 45 min early because I didn't know how long it would take me to get there. She wasn't even there yet haha oops but I'd rather be early than late! So she pulls up like 5 min later and takes me up to her studio.
Once we make it up there, she talks to me and asks me about myself and such. She was really nice and I really liked her a lot so she made me feel really comfortable which was really good. She was a little hard to understand but I'll get used to it so I'm not worried. She went over my resume and asked me some questions and gave me a little idea of what I'll be doing. I say little because I'm still not totally sure haha. I think I'm going to be helping her set up an online store and selling her clothes to buyers which I think is really cool! She also just moved into this studio so I'll prob be helping her with moving and getting settled as well. She sounded really excited and she said she didn't want to hire anyone as an intern to just sit around so that made me happy too. She said that she also had about 5 other interns I think so I'm excited that I'll be working with some other people my age as well. So overall the interview went well and I don't have to go in to work until 10 which is a score so I'm happy!
Since I got there so early, I ended up getting back to my flat around 230 so me and a couple other girls ventured back to Primark because I needed some cheap basics to bum around our flat in because I didn't bring enough...oops o well. It wasn't as crowded today but it was still a zoo. I tried on a lot of tops but nothing fit because apparently they don't make small sizes here. It's annoying but it's also saving me money to use on something of better quality haha or at least that's what I keep telling myself. So basically I got what I went for and then we went on a wild goose chase trying to find a dumb store called Argos because I wanted to buy a coffee maker and I saw it on their website. We asked like 5 people where it was and it literally took forever to finally find it. And just my luck once we found it, they didn't have any coffee makers! It's like a store where you order from a catalog and pick it up there but I didn't know that...cool. So dumb but whatever. We went to another random clothing store after that but I didn't find anything because it wasn't my style...London just doesn't want me to buy clothes apparently. Don't worry though because I'm not giving up. I just have to find the boutique type stuff then I'm sure I'll be fine haha.
We cooked dinner again tonight and I made this really good chicken for me and one of my roommates to share. We finished the movie Elizabeth from last night and then went to hang out with some people at our trip who were at the pub under our flat. It was fun to hang out with everyone but we have a lot of stuff planned for tomorrow so I want to get a full nights sleep! Since we have nothing tomorrow till The Lion King play tomorrow night, we want to get as much sightseeing in as possible. We're going to try to hit up the V&A museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Tower of London...we'll see if it all happens though haha. I'm definitely excited for tomorrow though and I'll let you know if it all happens haha!
