It probably will be. The blue Fiat 500 is gorgeous, I took it for a test drive tonight and while I do like the shape, size and colour, it's VERY basic. While I was out driving it, my dad was looking around the showroom and found THIS

It's gorgeous, it's sporty, and it has parking sensors, sat nav, bluetooth, USB connectivity, voice activation. It's basically got everything I had thought "Oh that would be nice but the Fiat doesn't have it"
So I'm going tomorrow night to sign the payment plan and will pick it up on Friday. Very exciting!

I actually will be able to drive the office "pool car" now if I want to. It was meant to be our HR Manager's company car but she wasn't really going to be using it so now anyone can drive it providing they ask me first because I have the key and logbook. I think you need to be manager status to get your own company car, unless you're a car salesmen because I think they get a company car to basically advertise the model, and also so they can sell it better because they have experience with it. It'd still be awesome to basically get a free car though!
It was my first time. It was amazing but busy. I really want to go back on my own sometime for a few days and just take my time. See what I want to see, wander around, get lost, have an adventure. It's definitely a plan, just probably not this year because I don't want to use all my work holidays.
I basically sat and read cracked.com articles on my phone the entire time. It's SUCH an addicting site and some of the articles are really funny.

Thanks

Thank you. Balloons are awesome, especially yellow ones. I've recently discovered I love the colour yellow.
The nearest dealer who sells the car I like has one in the right colour waiting in the forecourt right now. They said I can go in anytime to test drive it and that it's for sale if I want it. Guess where I'm going after work tomorrow??
Getting a job is really difficult just now, though. At least if you're learning something it's something else to put on your CV. Once you get something, even if it's a crappy 4 hours a week in a shop job, it really is easier to get something else because you'll have experience. Use TH on your CV and say that through your time helping teenagers with a variety of problems you have developed effective communication and diplomacy skills, as well as the ability to be patient and sympathetic. Just talk up everything you've ever done and make it sound impressive.
It was beyond busy, but the atmosphere was amazing. Everyone was pumped up and excited and seeing thousands of strangers cheering on, not just their family or friends, but EVERYONE who was running was brilliant. It was really good.
I came back on the train, it took about 4 hours or so, but it feels like a lifetime when all you want is to get home to your family and bed again! I did a little. I was there for a Sherlock convention so did that all day Saturday. On Friday I saw Leicester Square and went round M&M's World which was amazing. On Sunday before I came home I saw Trafalar Square, Buckingham Palace, Westminster, The National Gallery and The London Eye. It was a packed weekend!

I absolutely am! I did the computer (theory) test in December and did the actual driving test today. I passed like 3 hours ago and I've already arranged a test drive and possible purchase of the car I like, as well as a sat nav and insurance. Just a tiny bit excited.

Well I passed it!
It was insane! The London Marathon was on Sunday so all the tube stations were PACKED. I have never seen so many people in such a small space before. I don't understand the weather. It was 20C last week. Yesterday it snowed and today it's been raining. Why can't the sun just come here and stay for the summer instead of the weather going back and forth so much?

Sure, we can watch paint dry or something! What's your apprenticeship for? I've never done one but learning in a practical environment sounds amazing. You get to SEE what you're learning instead of just reading about it.

Hey Justin! Thanks for the message. I've been doing a lot better now. I've been stressed with the semester ending at school but now that it's all over, I'm coming back as a mentor!
Thank you for checking up and for your willingness to let me talk to you.

How are you? What's new?

thank you Justin and I'm so far getting around okay, I appreciate it :3

Hi Justin

i am... surviving i guess hopefully after this week, things will get a little less... icky. how are you?

Hey!

I'm good, thanks. Just back from London last night so I'm shattered. My driving test is tomorrow so fingers crossed this snow stops so I can actually, y'know, drive! I don't have much on, no. My life isn't that exciting most of the time. How about you? Anything fun happening?

I'm doing okay, thanks! How are you doing?
