Top Three Thursday

With Blogger being down for quite a while, I was really tempted to sort of let this blog wither down and stop writing at all on here. I've recently starting a new blog (www.shredinaglassbowl.wordpress.com) and it seems that I am enjoying it there far more. I'm yet to decide about the future of this blog, but for now, there will be less posts on here. However, I'm going to try and keep up the Top Three Thursdays!

1) I got the job!

Yes, yes, yes, I actually got the job! From the 31st of May onwards, I'll be an employee of Sony Playstation and more precisely a localisation tester. I'll be checking whether the Dutch translation provided is correct (aka, I'm proofreading the games). I'm getting paid a nice salary for it, getting lots of benefits and bonuses, so I'm pretty chuffed. On top of that, it means I'll probably finally be able to move out of this house and into my own little flat! I'll be starting flathunting at the start of next week :-)

2) Free time

With the sudden change of getting a job, my bumming-around-the-house-doing-nothing has suddenly changed to waiting-for-my-job-to-start. This means that what I formerly experienced as wasting my life has now become a bit of a holiday. Therefore, I'm doing whatever I like! Yesterday I celebrated getting my job with two of my close friends, we went for a MacDonald's and then bowling, it was really fun! I also won the second round, but I was using bumpers, so my friends say I was cheating (but I don't think I was). Today the sun is out, so I'm gonna go for a wander around with one of my friends and then tonight I'm gonna participate in a free Advanced Creative Writing workshop. Very much looking forward to that!

3) Moving on

Like I said, now that I'll be earning some good money, I'm looking forward to moving to my own place. I've already started collecting some furniture. One of my close friends moved back home to America in September and put all his stuff he couldn't take at our friends's, and now he's finally decided what he wants of it and the rest of it has been distributed amongst us. Therefore, I now own a double duvet + covers + pillows! I already had a really, really nice goosefeather single duvet which I am continuing to use, but when I want to curl up on the sofa or people are staying over, I'll have a duvet to spare! I'm also getting a television tomorrow, courtesy of someone I don't even know, but who's a friend of a friend and had a television to spare. My friend is going to help me pick it up tomorrow and then I'll have my own television for my new place! Wootwoot! I'm really excited about moving out and I hope it's going to happen when I am planning (start of July), otherwise I'm going to be very disappointed!
