1st week of job searching

Monday was my first official day on the job search. I had my BUNAC orientation on Monday morning, which I was late to because of how long it took to get there and since I don't have the tube down yet I'm off on the timing. So, it took me close to 45 min to get there from where I live. The orientation actually was quite helpful and they went through everything we need to know about getting a job and actually working in England. A lot of companies put their vacancies up at BUNAC for temporary workers like us, so it makes it easier to find a job. So, for the rest of the day I was working on my CV (which is the English resume, just slightly different than ours) and planning out everything else I had to do for the week.
That night, as most of you sadly know, was the OSU game which I was able to watch over here. The worst part, besides losing, was that it didn't start here until 1:30 in the morning and didn't end until 5:30. So, it was a long night and unfortuanately wasn't even worth it.
The rest of the week was pretty much running errands and trying to get my CV into places. I had to open a bank account completely across town which took me 3 hours total the other day, because BUNAC is only affiliated with that branch. Then I finally got a phone so I don't feel so disconnected with the world. So, if anything good came out of all that hassle, it was probably that I'm finally getting to know the tube better and not feeling so nervous to ride it by myself.
Last night was a good night though. BUNAC held a pub meet for all of its participants at the Anchor which is located right on the river near the Globe Theater. I guess I would call that area of London the kind of "old London", because the streets look like their from the 16th century and the walkways are these high brick archways. Its kind of what I picture it looked like during the Christmas Carol time period or something. But, anyways, I was slightly anxious going to the pub meet because I really wanted to meet people. I also didn't want to go by myself so I dragged Brendan with me, even though hes not in BUNAC. It was actually the first time for both of us since either of us have been in London that we've been around a lot of Americans..because there really isn't that many here. And it was funny, because on the tube on the way to the pub, a group of American college students, which we never see, sat in front of us. Once we realized they were Americans we started up a conversation with them and they told us they were taking a class over there that travels through London and Paris. At the time, they were on their way to do a pub crawl which they saw advertised in a Frommer's book which we thought was quite funny, especially since it was about 9 o'clock at night when we met and them and most pubs close at 11.
So, anyways, we got to the pub meet and while getting a drink at the bar, we met two girls from the University of Colorado named Ellen and Jamie. Jamie was actually a Theta at Colorado which was a weird coincidence. They actually turned out to be really cool and we hung out with them for the rest of the night, even when our friend Chris and his English buddy Stuart met up with us. After the meet we went to another pub called O'Neals that played live music and was a lot of fun. So, I finally have made my first set of friends! And no offense to Brendan and Chris, but I need some girl friends here. They were actually planning on taking a trip to Barcelona in a couple weeks that I might tag along on, so that should be good.
The job search continues...Ill let you know how thats going. This weekend should be fun, my house is throwing a party for the one of the guys who lives here who is leaving next week to go back to Australia. I'll take pics so you can all see my roomates!
