Livin the London Life!

Hi everyone!

It's been a little while since I've last posted, sorry about that its been crazy as always. On Monday I started my internship (or work placement as they call it here) and it was great! It's a cute little office in Soho (yes they have on here as well!) and I was assigned to read two scripts and write a coverage about them. These scripts were long, about 150 pages each so it took me a while! They were both very interesting, one based in Brazil, and the other based in London. I have my internship again tomorrow, wish me luck!
Me on my first day! ^^

This Saturday Megan, my roommate, and I are taking a day trip to Bath and to see Stonehedge! We were not able to go on the group trip that is run by the London Center like the rest of our flatmmates, but we will still go just for the day! I am so excited to see it.

Ryan is officially coming to London during his spring break! Yay! We are planning to go on The Eye, as well as go to the London aquarium and do the "Jack the Ripper" walking tour! I am currently doing research on hostels for me and the girls spring break and I'm finding some good options!

I am doing very well and I have adjusted very quickly to London. The only thing I don't really like is the lack of customer service here. The people are very SLOW and don't really engage with the customers, which is so weird since I work at Tj Maxx and if I don't interact with customers then I feel entirely rude! Besides that, everything is wonderful and I am so lucky to have this experience!

This was the second week of classes and it is going well! I am officially taking Art in London, Irish Literature, and I just switched into Music in London today!

Saturday the girls and I obviously want to go out, and we are looking at a club called "Strawberry Moon" it looks cool! This past Saturday we went to "Zoo bar and club" and I was able to get us in free on the guest list and got us a free mojito! Yum!

Then on Sunday morning we did a walk with Bill(the head of the London Center) and went to all the local markets! We went to a huge food market and I was in heaven! I got honey chicken and this amazing cupcake from "Ninas Bake"! It was strawberry and had glitter on it too:) Very delicious!! But nothing like grammies goodies! We also went to a flower market and it was beautiful! Meg and I got three pots of flowers for our room and they are so pretty.

Below are pictures from the market this weekend as well as other random pictures I haven't put up yet!

  1. Have a lovely trip to Stonehenge and Bath. I would love to see that prehistoric monument! I am so happy that you are immersing yourself in the British culture and loving the city life! It seems so you! Proud, astonished, and very pleased are a few adjectives I will use to describe my awe in your ability. You are behaving just as your father and I have raised you to behave. Love, Love, Love you child of mine!!
