LA dreams

Spotted a job ad today and got VERY excited. It was advertising for a "Trainee Celebrity Photojournalist", wait for it...based in Los Angeles! I practically jumped off my chair, started imagining my oscars outfit, bumping into hollywood heartthrobs in starbucks etc. So I sent off my CV and five bullet points as to why I should have the job. I got an email back really quickly, the guy explained the job involved "car follows" and "stakeouts", a lot of hanging around outside nightclubs etc. Hmmm...not quite what I had in mind. I don't mind that kind of stuff but it's not really the direction I see myself going. I have to say mum sounded pretty horrified when I suggested the idea!!

So back to the drawing board in the job hunt. I still really want to go travelling too, especially after talking to my friend Kate the other night. Most of our uni friends have done all that but we haven't, I think I would regret it if I didn't take the plunge. Hmm we'll see...

Making good progress with my project on Margaret, the UK's loyalist royalist. She's so funny, I just hope the lecturers like the project and I pass, a merit would be good too!

Off to meet schoolfriends tomorrow which will be nice, also need to suss out a drinking venue for next Saturday night. Will head for Soho or Covent Garden I reckon. It's going to be wierd, my first birthday away from home! can't believe that...and I'm gonna be 27, ouch!

Good luck with the job hunting, you're certainly in the right place for it in London I reckon.

Have a good weekend
