10 lessons of today

Have you ever thought of how much you actually learn in one day? Why don't you type down 10 things you've learnt today as well and we'll make this a tag thing. ;)

Today I've learnt that

1. Cricklewood rail is on zone 3 (therefore I can't take the train from there)
2. Morrisons' Pure set Honey cost as much as the Sainsbury one (£1.73 fyi)
3. Parts of the new Pirates of the Carribbean will be filmed in Greenwhich
4. Getting a seat on the Overground is a survival of the fittest
5. Burberry might get a new suitor
6. The Good Wife runs at 10am at Channel4
7. I know the lyrics to many of the Les Miserables songs (Better than I thought!)
8. Lloyds TSB Highbury corner branch closes 5pm on Thursdays
9. It's most likely going to rain tomorrow in London
10. Listing random things I've learnt today was not as interesting as I initally thought (duh?)

Wish I could make it up by uploading this.

Facetime, good or bad?

I just saw this commerical for iPhone 4's facetime feature. Is it just me or doesn't it sort of have the opposite effect?
In the commericals (there are a dozen of them) the facetime feature is supposed to be a very useful thing and keep people connected, since they can see each other basically whenever and wherever. I on the other hand find the commercials really sad.

Rather than thinking they are lucky to have an iPhone 4 I think it's almost tragic that the father is not with them (the mother and son) on his sons's school play or whatever. Why isn't he there? He should be there, but no he's stuck at work and then the Apple people got the nerve to make them still look like a happy family smiling and making faces.

And have you guys seen the one with a woman talking to her mother while trying on her wedding dress?That one is almost even worse. Why isn't the mother able to meet her daughter in real life to see her in the wedding dress?! Why? It's horrible!

Am I the only one who think it's sad?

Whatever,
Tiffany

I refuse to be sick

So I've been in bed, in my pyjamas, watching tv series on my computer the whole day. I have a runny nose, headache and sore throat. I seriously seriously wish I'm not getting sick. I'm drinking loads of tea and honey and just trying to keep warm in my freezing room.

Please don't make me sick.

Thank you,
Tiffany

I do my best thinking offline

Guys, you have to believe that I really try my best to be a good blogger. I'm really pushing myself not only to update as often as possible but also to write about real stuff (not just whatever crap that comes into my mind)

I always take years to finish a blog post and even then it's not even a good one. It's always afterwards when I go brush my teeth or take the bus when I come up with something interesting to write about. But thne when I finally get in front of the computer I either realize it was actually kinda pathetic or I have forgotten about it. Epic win, right.

Anyway, I've been jobhunting the past week (as my twitter states) and I must tell you it's a total bitch. Where do you find one, huh? Well, then again it might have something with me not being 100% into it. Because to be honest I don't really really want to have a low paid part-time job where people boss you around like the dirt on the floor. And to be really honest I don't really really need the money (of course I could use a few more quids but I survive).

But I looked for jobs anyway, because it was the right thing to do. All of my flatmates work, right, so during these days, as my lessons haven't started yet, I've just been sitting around like a giant baby doing nothing in an empty flat wheras real people have been out there making money and getting experiences.

So far I've applied for two jobs (took some real effort I'll tell ya) and I have absolutely no hope whatsoever. Partly because I know my CV is completely shit because I basically have no experience in anything, but also because I don't really mind if I get it or not, you know, my life will go on just as well as before, and weirdly it feels really good. Why? Because I've always been this jump up person who frets over ever-y-thing! When I buy concert tickets (worried my head off), when I started uni (worried my head off), taking loans (worried my head off), buying stuff online (still worrying my head off), you need more examples? I always worry because I make them into such big deals, that if something goes wrong whether it's undelivered tickets, scams or whatever I can't imagen how I'll handle it.

I always make myself worry too much and that's why for once I feel really good (with other words, I feel kinda mature). Life would be so much easier this way, it's too much pressure to get your hopes too high or put yourself out there with nothing to fall back on.

Sincerely,
Tiffany

Not so miserable anymore

Hey, it's been a while.
As I've been recovering from the horrible fact that the Sweden Democrats made parliament, other stuff have been happening as well.

Firstly, I'd like to announce that I'm going to see Nick Jonas sing Empty Chairs in. real. freaking. life. Yup, I've got tickets to the Les Misérables Concert at the O2 arena next Sunday. I'm beyond excited! You know (you do?) I've been trying to get tickets to the concert since the tickets were released but with no luck (unless I wanted to pay £110) on top of that I was terribly depressed that I couldn't see Nick in the musical.

By some weird force I clicked into Ticketmaster last Friday and just like Harry can fly a broom I found tickets (i.e ones I could afford)! Mixed with overjoy and nervousness I bought the tickets, resulting with me both selecting the wrong delivery method and buying a freakin' insurance I didn't want. Epic win, I know. After an hour of outrage I realized I just had to live with it and learn from my mistakes how stupid they might be.

A friend of mine from Malmö has came to London to start her studies at my Uni. She's living with me for a couple of days until she can move into her student halls. We've been out and about in London as much as we could while the weather has been so great. For example this afternoon was spent in the lovely Hyde Park.


Otherwise I've been trying to go through the huge pile of course books I've borrowed last week. I will not make that mistake to come completely unprepared to a new course again. No siree.

Cheers,
Tiffany
