Since I only have 11 full days left here in London, I just got crazy organized and planned out how I’m going to spend every single day. I decided what I wanted to do most before I leave and then incorporated that with my work schedule, and if I start getting up earlier I should have time to do everything I want! It’s so satisfying to be so organized in my planner and to know I have time to do everything I want to before I leave.

Happy to announce that for this year's BFI Flare Film Festival I will be working on/covering the festivals social media sites in order to promote the films, events, and parties happening! This is a great step up from what they originally had me doing, working the info desk or moving boxes or taking tickets, and it will be great on my cv!

Last week I had a job interview to work at a film festival here in London at the end of March, and yesterday I got an email saying I got the job! The film festival runs from March 19th to March 29, which works great because my plane ticket home is for March 31st. They haven't told me many specifics of what I'll be doing as of yet, but I should know within the next week.

My hike up Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh! The elevation peak sits at 251 m & Robert Louis Stevenson described it as "a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design"

update:

I went to Scotland and came back to London with a broken cell phone. I dropped it in water while in Scotland, and it has all the picture's I've taken on this trip,pictures I have not uploaded to anywhere yet, pictures from the BAFTAs, and pictures from Scotland. My phone has been sitting in rice (a great drying trick) for a few days, I'll piece it back together in a few days to see if it's broken or not. If it is broken, all the pictures I've taken are gone for good. If it's not broken, you'll get a great many new pictures next week.

#let's hope it'll be ok #it'd be so devastating to loose so many great pictures
