The weekend has been pretty good but the non-stop lifestyle has paid off; Knackered. On Friday (as mentioned in Thursday's post) I got up and went straight to work; it was my first day on the tills which was exciting, apart from a man giving me abuse for something that wasnt even my fault- other staff said "welcome to retail". I also got my staff discount card (25% off) in which my photo on it looks like I want to murder someone.

Straight after work, I caught a train (yes more trains) and made my way up to Exeter where I went to a gathering, had a 'few' drinks, then returned home late afternoon on the Saturday. Still people on the train got excited over #Dawlish, i'm like please, this was so last month.
Once home, I ironed and packed ready for my return to London today.
(Today's post)
"Making my way downtown,
Walking fast,
Faces pass,
And I'm home bound.
Making a way,
Staring blankly ahead,
Just making my way,
Through the crowd. "
Just a little song to start off the post. Today I made the journey back to London, following the continued start of my work placement for the next week and a half.
I had planned to complete loads of work on the train but saw someone I knew (Aaron Rahn) and ended up sitting with him for the journey... as you can probably guess, I got no work done as we just talked for the 3 hours.
To my dislike the train was full of crying children all making their mark on the journey and making a real mark on my hearing. The train was non-stop from taunton to reading so went really quickly meaning a quick escape from all the noise.
When arriving into Paddington I made my way to the tube which was busy as usual and reeking of 'Weed' (marijuana).* Stoners filled up the carriages along with their strong scent, rosey cheeks and squinted eyes. They were off all ages, old and young; Yes im pretty sure a granny was high. For most of my journey all I heard was "i'm so hungry", "I have the munchies" and "oh my dry mouth"- side effects of the drug. Due to tube closures and I had to take a diversion which took longer than planned but luckily the rain had stopped once I arrive at my 'final destination'. When I arrived at my Uncles, him and his girlfriend were abit drunk due to being at an "All you can eat and drink, Japanese restaurant" all day, their excuse was that their wine glasses just kept getting topped up 'yeah, yeah'. (they asked me not to include this but I thought it would be for the best).
I am now catching up on all my work and revision for the Easter Holidays- I promise I have done loads...
To all you lucky people who get the day off tomorrow, please think of me whilst I slave away in the office; although I do enjoy it.
*Today is 420, the 20th day of the 4th month- also its Easter Sunday but that has no relevance. Here is the definition for those who do not know: 420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term that refers to the consumption of cannabis and by extension, as a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture or simply cannabis itself. Observances based on the number 420 include smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m. (with some sources also indicating 4:20 a.m.), on any given day, as well as smoking and celebrating cannabis on the date April 20 (4/20 in U.S. form).
