Moving day tomorrow!

I guess normality will resume when our Internet is hooked up next week. A whole week without Internet, when a job hunt is necessary is going to be hella tough, I guess I'll just have to build some strong bonds with the local recruitment agencies. I've applied for the 'most important' jobs to come up in the last few days, lucky me for having a smart phone, I suppose... Pity about the restricting data charges though...

It only really took me around three days to pack everything, and I did a lot more today than any other day. Most of today felt a lot like it was just this, forever, but I think realistically it probably only took about half an hour.


It's going to be so weird that this time tomorrow Moon and I will be getting ready to spend our first night in our own place. We've lived together for practically four out of the (nearly) six years we've been together and it's still weird to me, exciting and fun, but weird, I think it's a good weird though.

It's probably good that I'll be able to take a step back from this for a while, I'm struggling to think of post/have anything to post about, but don't desert me, I'm going to try and come back fresh.

I hope that you have a fun weekend and a great week and I hope to see you when I'm able to reconnect with civilisation. ♥

Oops.

I really was trying to not buy anything when I went into Kingston today, I really was. I got really nervous about this interview I have tomorrow (yes, another one, I feel like I have everything coming out of my ears), I suddenly didn't have any smart shoes for some reason... so naturally I bought two pairs. I only went to get my graduation photographs printed, in regard to Jessops, their photo-printing services have gone downhill, was very annoyed with the touchscreen.

This is what I wore to the interview I had this morning; I think it went quite well and I'm feeling quite optimistic, but the job-hunt continues anyway.

Cardigan: H&M
T-Shirt: H&M
Belt: eBay
Skirt: Dorothy Perkins
Leggings: New Look
Shoes: TOMS
So here are the fancy shoes that I picked up; the pink ones are from H&M and the brown ones are from New Look:


I've been searching for a pair like these for ages, and the fact that they were half-price was nice. I really promise I will stop spending though, the UK is a rip-off and I'm going to Hong Kong on Monday, thus, I am an idiot.
I also got this cute t-shirt from Uniqlo, which I enjoy because it has polar bears on it. I definitely prefer Uniqlo in Hong Kong, although this was only £4.99.


I'm very excited for Hong Kong, particularly after today has already proven to be so hectic and I have to go out again for the Malden Fortnight presentation evening. I'm looking forward to falling off the radar a bit, but we're staying in one of my cousin's houses so I'm sadly kind of keeping my fingers crossed that there will be Wi-Fi. A 'jobseeker' like me can't exactly afford to go completely without communication, particularly due to how cool the company I have an interview with tomorrow is... eep! I'm far too over-excited.

Ikea.

These are from a few days ago, I only got internet back yesterday.

I bought some Ikea biscuits, they taste like Golden Grahams and are small enough to have as cereal, but they're still biscuits, I wish they were all different letters.

Most of my new equipment has arrived and I'm too scared to try it out but I have to do some sort of shoot of myself this evening to make up some flyers to give out at the Freshers Fayre tomorrow. I think I will do that and then get some proper postcards to leave around the University. It's one of the best ways to do it and the email thing doesn't seem to have come to light yet, but I guess I'll send another one of those round too.

I am the proud owner of a D90 and have put my D60 up on eBay, I feel a bit bad really though because my D60 has been pretty good to me and it is a pretty great camera, it's just that the D90 is much better and can do more. Plus its decrease in price was too hard to resist. I'm looking forward to testing it out properly when my project starts to get intense.

It's been quite liberating to not have internet, but I'm glad it's back and now I don't feel like I have to be on it 24-7.

My timetable has infuriated me and it's too close until my dissertation deadline. Umf.
