The little things in life

My last two days in Hoboville have been much better than expected. A few successes to report, friends-wise:

1) After the Jurisprudence exam, I went to the City (and I use the term 'city' loosely) with two people I'd never hung out before. Liz was an acquaintance up until now, and Ashwin -in my opinion- was an over-ambitious, egotistical sleaze. We had overpriced gourmet pizzas for lunch, followed by three hours of intense window shopping and a lot of laughs. I do have to say though that hanging out with these two really opened my eyes to what I'd been missing out on by limiting myself.

However, the real success was earlier today when Liz texted me asking to play tennis. Score!

2) Andrew, one of the ginger-haired identical twins in our class, who I sometimes talk to, but yet again is a mere acquaintance, gave me his number and made plans to watch the cricket together over the summer. Score again!!

3) The hottest boy (or so I've been told. I only have eyes for the Boyfriend!) in our class, who'd been ignoring me all week, totally had a cool conversation with me online tonight. We talked about nothing much, but I think I've made a connection.

4) Summer. She's smitten with the Boyfriend. My strategy is to become her friend and pull the carpet from under her. Cheeky, but less bitchy than the other plans I had in mind. The friend part seems to be working. We talked about Star Wars and Hoboville. She laughed a lot.

Jobwise:

1) I put my goals into motion and applied to about fifty jobs. I got my first (of many, I hope) phone calls today, offering to meet me for an interview. The job itself isn't too exciting- it's a marketing gig, you pretty much go around malls advertising whatever product they give you. But I need the money...and the self-esteem!


And tomorrow morning, the Boyfriend's coming down to take me home, I'm far too excited to sleep!
