So, let me go through my week bit by bit. Man, my shortterm memory is retarded but I'll do my best.
I did four shifts last week. This week i will get paid for these plus my two training shifts that I did the week before but did not get paid for. And the money, at last, came rolling in.
This week I'm also working four shifts and had the option of doing more.
On Thursday in tech drawing we were given a massive model-making assignment. We have to use foam core ($12/sheet) to recreate an iron or a lamp or a guitar or some object. That's gonna be fucking annoying to make. On Friday we were given another huge assignment. First we have to do a drawing in the same style as a Piranese etching, based around an original Piranese etching, on A1 size tracing paper. So where the hell do you get A1 tracing paper from, I hear you ask. Then we have to photocopy the whole thing onto A1 normal paper, then mount it to a piece of A1 stiff cardboard. Jesus Christ.
On Thursday night I went to a tango class in Hyde Park with my maths tutor. He said he sometimes had to sit and watch because he didn't have a partner so I invited myself along. He's a bit dorky, and doing a PhD in astrophysics. I hope that because he's male and I'm female, he doesn't think I'm interested in him. You know how some guys think that people of the opposite sex have to be more than friends. Tango is really fun, I got into it a bit and want to go again although before I had a chance to tell work I was unavailable on Thursdays, i got rostered on. But next time.
On Friday let's see what I did OH not much I think I made green curry and went to bed. On Saturday I worked and then hung out at Ella's. She is moving out on her own for the first time ever and I think i will get her a cookbook (vego of course) as a housewarming present.
Then last night I went to a CineSoc (film society) pre-production meeting for a shortfilm they're doing. I have joined the "DVD team" which means I'll be helping to make 'the making of' video. The chick who seems to be running it seems like a glory-hog and I probably won't get much say in how it's done or get a chance to hold the camera much (flashback to Holly in the young achievers business thing in year 11... night mare on elm street) but I'll try to be involved anyway so that I get my foot in the door for next time.
Oh my the way, India is out of the question, you need a bank balance of $10 000 to apply for every six months that you go on exchange. Fuck that! China it is. ¶ 11:54
