Haven’t updated my English blog for a while, because I can’t access Internet as easy as before. But somehow I found it’s a good thing as it kinda stops me from surfing the net but not doing anything productive. Anyway, here are a few things to update in my recent life.
Working in Burger King
I have been working in burger king for almost two weeks now. I was running around Oxford right after I arrived here looking for some summer job. Just of one of the trying, I went into Burger King to hand in my CV, and the manager looked and said “come here tomorrow, you get the job”.
This is my first time working in a fast food store, but I like it. OK I have to it’s very busy most of the time, but I prefer being busy at work than standing and doing nothing like waitering in restaurant. Time pass much quicker when you are actually doing something. Also the people I am working are friendly. They teach me all the time no matter I ask the same question all the time. The managers are nice people too. “It’s not that important what I do, it’s more important who I work with”, as I said before.
There are a lot of interesting stories from everyday’s work. I am writing a “Burger Daily” in my Chinese blog, possibly will translate them into English later.
Meeting new people
While I was looking for jobs in the first few days, once I went into a sandwich shop and asked if they need staff. There was a Japanese student working there and I told her I am studying Japanese, she was surprised like any other people that I came to study in England but part of my degree is Japanese (I might write about this in future).
Because the shop is in city center, I dropped by and say hello every time I walked past it, and now we became friends. She invited me to her friends’ parties I met more new friends. Last week they rent a car and about 10 of us went to Brighton together. The beach there is so nice!
Watching “friends”
Found a box of whole “Friends” series in the house, then I knew this is going to very dangerous because once I started it’s hard to stop. But “friends” is just one thing that you can’t resist, so I let myself get indulged. I now spend about 2 hours a day watching it, I’m at season four at the moment when Ross is going to marry that British girl Emily. Her accent is so British I have to say, especially in an American TV show, the difference is so distinguished.
Ok, that’s all for the last ten days.
