Today is my half-way point on my visa, boo! I can't believe I've been here for 3 months already! The day wasn't great either. I was shorted on my pay check because I was taxed when I'm suppose to have exemption. There goes Chris and my's plans to go to Portsmouth tomorrow. My temp agency called to tell me that I wasn't needed anymore because they had hired someone permanently for my position! So much for being set until the end of my visa! I was well pissed-off! I called Chris the second I was outside the building to tell him that we were going out tonight to get my mind off of my pending unemployment once again. So as I was cooking dinner and telling everyone about my getting laid-off I had to listen to the only thing that would cheer me up, Now 62 and Push the Button by the Sugababes. We opened our bottles of cider and got going on pre-gaming. Virginia did my make-up since I was so upset, which was really nice of her. Chris had gotten free entry flyers to this club in King's Cross called Popstarz, so off we went. We met one of Chris's co-workers, Anna - also from Essex, there and she's awesome! Once we got in there were 3 different floors all with different types of music. We found a home on the indy floor (alternative in America i.e. The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Scissor Sisters, etc.) When we finally decided to leave, Sarah, Virginia, and myself found a shopping cart on the sidewalk and decided to put Virginia in it! That wasn't one of our brighter ideas since she wiped out twice, whoops! I also walked home in my bare feet since me feet hurt so bad from my shoes! That's the 4th time I've had to do that in London, but I do watch were I'm walking, so no need to worry. I got the best hug ever from Chris before heading to bed around 3 or so I think.
