AWESOME
Tuesday 3 October 2006
I am having such a fantastic time. I was so scared about coming here and meeting new people but I've been so lucky with the people staying in my dorm so far.
On Sunday night a Polish girl checked in and we hit it off stright away. We went for a wonder around the area and dinner and then sat in the pub downstairs and had a few cocktails.
Yesterday I went to interviews with recruitment agencies that I'd booked a while ago. They all sounded really keen and told me that I was an excellent candidate and they love people like me because it makes their job much easier. So I'm feeling very hopeful. In fact I've just been rung now and I have a temp job running for two weeks. Nice.
Last night was the coolest night I've ever had. Monika (my Polish best friend) and I decided to go for a long walk. We walked all the way from Borough to London Bridge, crossed over and walked to Tower Bridge, crossed and walked back along the river bank to our hostel. London is beautiful at night.
When we got back to the hostel a French guy, Christoph, had arrived in our room. He's very sweet and I was wowing him with my knowledge of French. Luckily he's a French guy that gets my sense of humour. Then an awesome Aussie bloke called Cliff arrived and a girl called Brooke and we sat on the floor and just chatted about random things. Aussie people are totally cool. I adore the Aussie accent. Just as I thought things in my dorm couldn't get any better, in walked Brendan. He's a Kiwi. He had long blonde hair, green eyes, is a surfie and is really funny. Needless to say I'm in heaven. I have ALWAYS loved guys with long hair. We all stayed up chatting about random stuff until about 2am. They were all trying to copy my accent which is utterly hilarious. I am very very well spoken buit when they tried to mimmick me they just sounded like characters from Oliver Twist.
This morning I had some free time so Cliff and I decided to go for a wonder. We went to the Tate and walked up and down the river bank. My legs are killing me but I'm going to have the sexiest arse soon!
All in all I am having such a wicked time. I think Aussies are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Such cool people.
I've found an internet cafe which lets me have 30mins on the net for 50p so I'll hopefully updat a bit more.
Thank you to everyone who sent me such lovely emails wishing me well. You guys rock.

Glad you're having fun! Decided that hostel living (if they are as nice as your lot) is for me, but it probably isn't for all. Say my dad. All those countries in an inclined space? He'd go mad!

Thank you everyone!! You are all just fabulous!
I now have a little gang here. This includes two aussies, a kiwi (long haired man is ultra hot), a Californian, an Austrian and a girl from Uraguy (spelling!?).
I have found out that I do a mean American accent but all hope is lost for my furture career in mimicking Austrians.
Posted by: Celeste at October 4, 2006 06:47 AMHehe, U R Gay.
Uruguay is how you spell it by the way :)
Oh, and to master the art of Austrian accents, just say in your best Arnie Impression "Show Them The Whole Thing!" whilst flexing your 'muscles'. It works for me anyway.

(I love you really!)
Wait, are you roomies better than mr Subway? I think I may faint!
Oh and you already have the sexiest arse!
