DAY 23
 |
| Diet is difficult today. Might start nibbling the aloe vera. |
I'm also on a £5 budget and a 500 calorie maximum, so I'm going to drink this (Covent Garden price) diet coke very very slowly, possibly putting a beer mat on top after every tiny sip so it doesn't evaporate.
I came in early so I could jump in a taxi to the station with my mum, whose destination is slightly more exotic than a sticky table in central London. In 30 hours, she'll be on the other side of the world in New Zealand, where it's summer and they have a nice accent and whales. But nevertheless (I hardly ever say that word in real life), today could be the beginning of a really cool career for me! And if not, it's a nice day out. I can pretend I'm businessy and important in my interview outfit. People will think I'm typing important work things. Maybe I should get an excel spreadsheet up?
I can see the offices across the road which is, now I think about it, quite a stalkery position to be in. I should have bought my journalist trench coat and newspaper with eye holes. I can check out all the other candidates. Maybe set traps for them. Come to think of it, they're probably all waiting in this bar too.
Earlier I had a walk through the Apple Market where they usually have the buskers and street performers. There's also a food market selling shredded duck wraps and paella in big sizzling dishes and it smells AMAZING.
Sadly I've already got my lunch (vegetables) in a Tupperware box in my very stylish backpack, but I'd quite like to trade it for a duck wrap and a ben's cookie (which, if you haven't tried, are incredible. Sort of cakey, gooey inside but crispy outside, crammed with big chunks of melted chocolate. This is killing me.) I do wonder sometimes if I should just give up trying to be healthy, and live a happy life gorging on all the things I love.
I better get on with some shorthand practice now before my laptop battery dies. I'm also about one tenth of the way through my coke. Better slow down.
