Pentonville PR
Today I had an interview with the W****W*** Communications group.
I got the tube to Kings Cross, came out the Regents Canal Exit instead of the Pentonville Road Exit and spend 10 minutes wandering about. I got a Mocha to calm my nerves. Then as per me I got sick and dizzy from the Mocha. (Click HERE to see what Mocha's do to me these days). I then got my Blackberry out to find my way using that as opposed to my exquisite sense of direction. The office was at the end of Caledonidan Road. It would have been quicker to walk.
W****W*** Communications specialises in In House Magazines, the area I would be working in is doing the selection and the research to give to the design team consisting of the current trends. So basically I browse Internet stores all day then call the shop and ask them to send over some samples for a photo shoot. Welcome to fashion PR internships.
I met a girl called S**** first and then a girl called J***. I did my interview with J***, I have such a bad cold and I really hope that didn't put her off me. (Its getting better!)
She said she'd call me this afternoon or first thing tomorrow to let me know. I'd be working Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and all day Friday.
I hope I get this one.

London Zoo
Yesterday the Boy took me to London Zoo with his two best friends. There were Lions, Tigers, Giraffe, Hippo, Penguins, Snakes and Owls.
There was loads of Owls.
Anyone who knows me well knows I love Owls.
They were all in cages with dead mice though so I couldn't get near any to pet them or pick them up.
Then either after the Lions or on the way to the Lions there was a Zoo-Man carrying a Hawk Owl. I got my picture taken with the Owl. But I didn't get to hold one.
Next Time.

The New Line Up
So in no particular order:
Point One
I have 3 more Auditions lined up for next week now.
Spearmint Rhino. Obvs.
Stringfellows.
For Your Eyes Only (London Bridge Venue)
The Platinum Bar.
All respectively Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
I applied for Platinum Lace as well since they didn't bother getting back to me.
I know its ridiculous but Windmill International said that if I loose my tummy (which is fairness is only a size 10 tummy) I can work there but with them being such a small club they have to be very selective which makes perfect sense.
Point Two
My Timetable for University changed again, luckily I haven't missed any classes yet but god does it annoy me ! Tomorrows my hardest day being there from 8AM until 9PM. This does include my own study time as well as work out but it is still a pain.
I have also managed to get myself into another incompetent group. I text the three of them asking if the group meeting was this week or next week. I got a reply saying this week, one saying next week and one of them didn't reply at all. Just peachy right.

Emails and a Leopard Print Jacket
There is an Events Agency based in Soho who contacted me a few days ago asking if I would like to interview for the internship I applied for. It went like this:
I'm S***, from *** Media Group.
Thank you for your application.
We would love to meet you and arrange an interview with you. Would it be
possible for you to start working as soon as possible?.
So I replied with yes of course we should arrange an interview or something to that effect, She replied with:
Could you come for the interview this afternoon?. *** Media Group is very close to Soho Square, five minutes walking from Tottenham Court Road Station.Yes I could because my class finished at two.At 4:30 it would be perfect. Could you go to the Pret A Manger at this address: 55 Frith Street, Soho London, W1D 4SJ. Call to our office number: 0207******5 once you arrive and ask for N******, she will go to Pret A Manger to meet you. Is everything Ok?.It was fine so I told her it was.After my class and other delays (such as Oyster Cards, Faulty headphones and the fact I don't know my way around Central London) I finally found the place. I sat down, called the office and looked about. Keith Allen was there. I only recognised him from the BBC Robin Hood.N***** and S*** came down which surprised me- I thought I was only meeting N******. She was wearing gold hoop earrings and a leopard print jacket.It was a regular Events interview, This is what we do, this is what you'll do, this is why we do it, why would you like to be involved. I included everything she wanted to hear and smiled (not menacingly) the whole time.They went back up to the office and I went to find Boy.
Spearmint Rhino
Just a quick blogglette to say I got an Audition for Spearmint Rhino.
**Possibly should have mentioned this a little earlier. The job I want is a dancer in a club. It pays like £100 (approx) a night which will be an go amount for me if I work part time (which is three nights a week, I would do Thursday, Friday and Saturday so it didn't mess up uni) which will come to £300 (ish) a week which would cover rent and general living probably- living in London is expensive !

-also, this is not a sleazy, sexy blog about being a dancer or sex, it is just a job-
So YAY ! I got an audition !
I'm going to go in for it not this Friday but next because I have had a small issue with my spray on tan.. its ran like rain down my legs and now I look ridiculous.
Dont give me a Mocha
Mocha is without a doubt my favorate drink closly followed by the Strawberry milkshake at Ed's Diner. The only problem is latly I have been getting dizzy, sick and light headed after drinking them. So I cut my order from Large Mocha with an extra shot of espresso, cream and marshmallows to Medium Mocha no extra shot no cream and no marshmallows. Dull yes and also pointless because I am still getting dizzy, sick and light headed.
So instead of my mocha getting me in the mood to study today I simply haven't. I came in at 9 after a fantastic argument about my overly depressive behaviour and mundane temperment with the Boy to a lecture that I've had 3 times this week for Introduction to Marketing. I could have slept. I then did the Seminar. Again, I could have slept. As one of my goals is to make sure all the work is done I am sitting in the library trying to do the rest of my studying, currently for The Events Industry but it isn't happening.
I productivly finished my list of goals though. That makes me feel that the last hour has been worth while.

Introduction
I knew I was going to start a new blog last week after reading an artical in Company Magazine about Grace's blog: http://www.23b423.blogspot.com/ which by the way is well worth reading and also reading an entertaining but pretentious blog written my the boyfriends ex.
My blogs tend to be dull and pointless to anyone but me. I hope this one might ignite a glimmer of interest.
The point of it is because recently, after moving to London, begining university, making friends and starting up a relationship I really dont know what I'm doing. Well I do. But I dont. Grace's blog, although totally different to what mine will be like gave me the idea. Graces blog is a list of things she wants to do before shes 23. Mine is a list of the things I have done and need to do. So actually the same. Except I dont have to be 23 by I'm finished.
Ok I'll just write the damn list.
