I got the job. After some debating with myself and friends, I decided to be excited about it. It's an internship, so my lifestyle will have to change in more ways than just financially, but I can adapt. I could get a job that pays better now, something I probably won't enjoy, and quit it in a few weeks. Whereas if I take this one, in six months I will be able to do something I actually enjoy! Wow, can you imagine actually loving your job and wanting to get out of bed in the morning?! I'm quite excited and looking forward to it. Really. At least I think I am, or would like to be, rather. Hmm. Oh God, I hope I win the lottery tomorrow.

I went out with the girls last night and we talked about the new beginnings in our lives over some cherry juice (I am off the booze for a while). It's really interesting to see four completely different lives, with one thing in common: we all moved to Berlin to pursue happier and more fulfilling lives, i.e. we were bored to death of our towns. Inevitably when you have four women in a bar, you have to decide which character of Sex and the City you are most like. "Charlotte", they uttered in unison as they looked at me. It's interesting to see people's perspectives of you. As much as I try to hide and shove it to the back of my mind, I think I am Charlotte.

In other news, my cousin has decided to get engaged. This brings the total wedding count for 2010 to about eight. Joy joy joy. We were flower girls at our mums' cousin's wedding when we were about four, and we lost the rings. It was hilarious. I've promised that if she lets me be a flower girl at her wedding, I won't lose them this time.

Anyway, must tune my guitar and practice some songs to play for the kiddies today. The kids I've worked with this week have been fantastic. It's been one of the best weeks of my life - so enjoyable and rewarding.

Love,

Mon xx
