Hello

It’s been approximately 11 days of madness. I’ve recently moved into my new room in a flat, which I only visit to wash my laundry and eat and shower. I always seem to end up sleeping on chums couches- my flat is so BORING. there is nothing to do there, and my head feels so.. STRAIGHT. Anyway, the other flat has tv, alcohol and ashtrays, blankets and people. There is noone to annoy in my flat! It’s kind of like.. a hallway with doors, you never see anyone else.

It’s in quite a dodgy area, and walking home in even the slightest darkness always puts me on edge and reminds me that supposedly Glasgow is the most dangerous city in europe- don’t quote me on that, never found evidence as such, someone just told me and it gave me the creeps.

New Years was entertaining, I was going to go to the Hogmanay thing in George Square but tickets were not forthcoming.. and really, I’m quite glad, because my night of house paties was splendid, we even saw a couple of misdirected fireworks. To be fair I only remember slivers of my evening, which is a shame because I have a sneaky feeling it was great fun.

Work is thin on the ground, hence so is money :s But IT’LL BE FINE, as with many things it’s a waiting game.. boring details, blahdeblah. At the moment I’m slavishly washing dishes in ASDA, a horrible big supermarket. And it’s very part time, which is worrying.. stupid agency.

Recently I was looking online at visa stuff.. boring shite that it is… and there seems to be no way I can get a european visa while I’m still in Europe- I need to apply for it from NZ. Which is a pain in the bum, and narrows options considerably..I can however get tourist visas, but not working. I can get one for Canada applying from here, so

My options:

(please vote! even if you’re just a passer-by)

After I come home (what an exciting, dizzying thought!) I’ll work my arse off for a year or so (?) then off to somewhere else in the world? Although I am also considering a short studying period so I can get better jobs, ie. managing positions instead of being a minion.. I’m thinking either Europe or maybe an island like Samoa.. this could mean a teaching degree? I’m not sure I think by the time I’m home I’ll have a better idea…

pip pip!
