so what is there to do around here?

Hello once again people. so the election results are in. and hopefully that cracked pendulum that was swinging way too far to the right is now making it's way in some other direction:) i read in the paper that hillary clinton is in again, that over 30 seats were one in the house and senate to the democrats and that we elected a communist representative? also new Hampshire, maybe vermont, i get them confused sometimes, elected their first ever (second nation wide) african american govenor. as well there is the first ever muslim senator as well as a buddhist senator, solid progression out of the stone age. maybe we'll think about renewable energy like air or sea water. LOL.

that aside if you haven't heard i have a home to move into on sunday the 12th, if you are important i sent you my address, if not well email me and i will send it to you:P i start work at the Edinburgh City Council as an administrator on monday the 13th, i know it sounds really cool but basically should be office space style, and because my customer service skills are so great i got the job because of that. so this job is supposed to be for 4-5 months so fingers crossed it all works out, but if not i'm sure i can go and work at bean scene. a coffee shop i applied at but turned down because it was minimum wage and i wanted to make a little more then squeaking by.

in other news i am getting really antsy to get out of the hostel. i don't know what to do with myself and there is only so much fascade i can put on when i am around all the peeps. also i was asking my roommate Kat what there was to do at night, to see if she had any ideas, and she was like well...there's drinking, and oh yeah drinking, and you can play a drinking game, or perhaps drinking and a book and on the weekend you can go to a pub and drink.

so not a lot going on at night and just trying to keep it real with like reading and knitting and trying to eat dinner late and cook for a really long time, but again only so much aussie interaction i like in the kitchen. so yep. surprise surprise but i'm not going to drink tonight, too late i met steve my roommate and gave him the deposit and got my keys. uuuuuuu! so i will probably watch my split peas boil tonight and make some soup. stellar. so that's about all for right now. haven't tried a deep fried mars bar but will pass the word along when i do. cheers.

oh yeah i set up a meeting to meet and get myself a NHS number. National Health Service Number. Stellar you are number 6,003,657,047,207,470 to register which means you will have a meeting with someone who decides if you can stay in the country for the rest of your work permit on this date and time and we don't care if you work or where you live this is where you will have to go and tough cookies if you don't have a car and the bus doesn't go there. so wooo...more to come on that exciting saga as the NHS number getting goes on, good news though once i have one that means if an employer wants to send me to the UK to work, it's easy-peasy as i will already have the number. so now i'm done .02 in done and dusted. sine.
