Almost the 10th day...

Been a few days since I had anything to say. Not much has been going on really. Cant belive its only 9 days since i left...it feels like I have been here for weeks. Experienced this feeling last time i was here on holiday and now again. Seem to lose track of everything here, maybe because it does feel like I am on a kinda holiday like last time. Im sure things will feel normal once I start working, cant wait!!

On the job side of things.....I received a call from LA Fitness on Tuesday and had a phone interview regarding a Fitness Intsructor position. Asked me questions regarding my experience in a gym as he could see from my CV i had sports and outdoor experience but none in a gym setting. He told me I was actually over qualified for the position as my sport science degree puts me at a REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals) level 3 and that position only requires a REPS level 2 qualification. The only problem with everything is my lack of experience in a gym setting. During the interview I was honest with him and told him even at University we didnt go into gym stuff tooooo much. Or if we did, i always opted to listen to the sport side of things anyway. He said he would pay for my training to get an exercise to music qualification as well as a spinning instructors qualification. All and all it went well and he did say he appreciated my honest answers to the questions he asked. He did say as well there were lost of applicants for that position in that gym and so he had lots of other calls to make. Waiting to hear how it went now. Either i will be called in for an interview at the gym or I wil receive a letter in the post saying i was unsuccessful.

On the softball side, we played again on tuesday night and won. This time not in the rain, but rather a nice sunny evening. Playing again next Thursday night.

Received my credit card in the mail yesterday which was quite scary really. Wasnt sure whether to actually activate it or not so talked to some friends online to get their advice about it and then called my mom to see what she said. I know i wouldnt go crazy and get myself in trouble with it, but wasnt sure if i should even bother having it. But i activated it anyway, as long as i use it once every 6 months it will stay open. One day im sure it will come in handy and in the mean time, at least i am building up a good credit record for myself.
My bank account was also opened at the same time so am just waiting for my debit card and then im all set with that.

As for any other plans I have, I am wanting to join the Ladywell Leisure centre so that i can at least work out and swim and do some exercise, apart from all the walking im doing while rushing about in london!!! Am still trying to enquire about doing a lifessaving course as i have always wanted to do one and there r plenty of lifeguard jobs here in fitness and leisure centres as well as more posh places like health spa's and I reckon it would be a very important qualification to have under my belt. Will keep everyone posted.

Alone this weekend as Janine has gone to Paris to visit Michael(her bf). Not sure of my plans for the weekend yet, will see what happens. Next week I have a few "dates" with friends. 2 r taking me to dinner and one to movies then the pub. Should be alot of fun, am looking forward to seeing them.

Going to go for a walk now to buy something to eat. Talk to you soon.

Love to my family and friends. XOXOX
