I got a job! Well, I got a contract position, initially for three months but very likely to be extended. I am now the Communications Assistant at Ealing and West London College!! It's more of a Marketing assistant role because it's in the Marketing department. I am sooo excited!!! The job sounds fantastic and the team seems really creative and forward thinking so I am pumped!!! And the campus is huge. I've always thought it would be super fun to do marketing for a college or university so yay! I'll be doing everything from copywriting to press releases to updating the website to helping with the refresh of the college magazine to helping plan campaigns and stunts around campus geared at both the internal and external markets. YAY! Again: YAY! It's a new role so they're starting it off as a temporary contract for three months and then they will review in a month or two to see if it should be extended or maybe become permanent. I'm just happy to have some financial security for the next three months and have a job that actually excites me. Yay!
On a less happy note, today someone's leg somehow got underneath one of the trains at Oxford Circus and they shut the station down. There was no service on the Central Line for the majority of the afternoon. Apparently they had to saw the person's leg off to get them out from under the train. I don't really know what happened but I cannot imagine. I do not know if they were trying to kill themself or if they tripped and fell or got shoved. I shudder to think of what it would be like to get stuck under one of the massive tubes.
On the brighter side, I am getting to know my Greek roommate and he's really nice. He's a film maker, just finished school this spring and already won an award at the New York Film Festival! It's so strange listening to him and my aunt and uncle talk. I think it's so amazing that they actually work in this industry!!! Craziness.
Anyhoo, looking forward to starting work next Wednesday. Planning to make the most of my last few days without work and go see the new Pop Art exhibit at the Tate Modern. I will take pics if I'm allowed and post them up as soon as I can!

Yaaaaay, Delly! Woooo!
Congrats Delly. I'm sure they'll be begging you to stay once they get to know you.
LK- WTF are you doing up at 5:30 a.m.?
Thanks! Good to know you're still reading. I felt like people had dropped off but now I know you're still out there, I'll try to keep things more interesting. And Lisagh, I too would like to know why you're up at 5:30 am...?
