Longest day ever

My day today started at 6am. Despite putting my alarm on for 6.30 my body decided an earlier start would be better :/ After paying £18 for a bloody travel card just because it was peak time, I had to sit on a train with all the 'suits'. This did give me time to start reading a book that I was supposed to start in the first year of my National Diploma at college, 'A Room Of Ones Own - Virginia Wolfe'.
It was the day of the big 'meeting' at Anna Lou today. Well I say 'meeting' quite loosely as it was more like an interview! :( Stacey, the office manager was really helpful, just generally natting to me about the intern and what I'll be doing during the trade shows, basically everything that she'd already said in the email saying that the intern was mine. It wasn't until Anna actually came in and totally confused me. She asked about my experience and what I wanted to get out of the intern. Then she asked whether I'd be interested in doing office experience (what I didn't understand was whether this means I still have the placement at the trade shows or that she wants me in the office instead?). At the end of the meeting she said I will hear from her by Friday so fingers crossed!
This didn't put me in a very good mood, and I had to travel back to Waterloo on the train in the boiling heat. But I was about to spend the day with my favourite smellypops :)
The reason for this day out was to put my £18 travel card to good use and to get some fabric from Shepards Bush market for the cushions that are being made for me. Well, the fabric wasn't bought but we did put the travel cards to VERY good use, not on the tube but on the buses! After tattoo shops, photobooths, pizza hut and the weather being FAR too hot I had a pretty good day that made me forget all about my disheartening meeting this morning.
Now that I am home I am finding it difficult to remember even leaving my house this morning. A big, well deserved lie-in is in order tomorrow before I go to work and then off to Flat 4 for the first sleep over! Yep, I'm WELL excited! :D

FYI. 31st August - Watch this space! ;)
