ola: Gig and B-Lane

I've discovered I'm prone to mood swings / changing my mind. Well actually, I've always very indecisive (Libra ya'll), but this week my opinions on London and being here have gone from zero to hero. On Tuesday I was feeling very homesick and waaaaaaa, but only 5 days later, I'm so glad I'm here, and realise that even though its a challenge, its so much fun and such a good opportunity, and have had a really great week. Woo positive thinking yay! Here is my week:

We won netball, it was a really good game, the score 39-35 after being down the whole game!
Submitted my first assessment.
I got my first pay check after 5 months! I really enjoyed seeing "credit" in my bank account instead of "debit"!
My 5 month leaving home anniversary was on Friday. Unsure if it feels like longer or shorter? Think maybe it feels like 5 months!
Went to a gig at the 100 Club in Soho on Friday to see The Move On's. The guitarist is one of Joni's friends boyfriends, I'd never heard them before but I really enjoyed the gig, the songs were right up my alley and I thought they were excellent! PLUS I got to meet the band afterwards. If you feel like it, you can listen to some tracks on their website, my favourite is Don't Give Me Your Love. They're from Brighton, and coincidentally we're planning on spending a night down there in a few weeks. Choccywoccydoodah here I come. Was not paid for this post by the Move On's by the way. Hah.
Spent today in Brick Lane! In East London, its a very eclectic and multicultural area, full of food, trinkets, and vintage clothing! I think you could get food from anywhere in the world if you wanted too- Ethiopian anyone? I had a delicious crepe, g&d free, full of egg, ham, spinach and mushrooms, so good- see below picture. We saw a man playing three games of chess at once, and probably winning. He had quite a large crowd around him, pretty amazing stuff. We saw all sorts of characters, tried on some fur hats, and I got my sister a gift for her birthday. I also ticked off a cafe from my London Coffee Guide, Nude Espresso, only 97 to go! There was also an Aero Bar pop-up shop to promote these new Aero Mint balls. Free samples and some wind machines! Why not...
