Right now, I am killing time before I actually get out of bed and start getting ready for my day. I have class from 10am to 1pm at the downtown University of Westminster campus. It's about a 20 minute tube ride. Then I'm working at the internship until about 5:30pm. The other intern will be in the office so I think we will have a lot of introductions to new people and how things work. That should make for a more exciting day.
Afterward, my friend Christine and I may be checking out the modern art museum in London, Tate Modern. We will see.
Yesterday, I went to Intro to Branding class in the am. My schedule was wrong so I got to class over an hour late. I felt so unprepared which I hate. And I was late, which I also hate. I chatted with the professor (No one says "professor" here. You just call them by their first names.) and everything is fine. I got caught up and he understood that I am still getting the hang of things and it wasnt completely my fault.
Then I went to my internship module downtown. Now, that 3 hours seems like a waste of life. It seems like it is one of those generic professionalism and career classes. Ew. It's required to get credit for the internship. Hopefully I learn something in that class.
Last night, Chrstine, Mark and I went to this diner near Oxford Street (shopping district). It was in a cute part of the city i had never seen before. Luckily for me, Christine and I share the same love of food. Most of our decisions here revolve around dinner and lunchtime. Anyway, she had been craving cheese fries since about a week ago. She did some research and discovered this place called "The Diner". It was pretty delicious I must say. Thanks google.
After dinner we headed to the famous department store in London, Harrods. It was gorgeous. Looked like a museum. I took a few photos (you konw it!) and I will post them soon. It was gorgeous. It's four floors and each floor has multiple different secions, clothing, furniture, pets, toys, maternity, luggage. Very cool. Now, I can check that off the list, too!
Lauren,ciao! When you talked about your visit to Harrods, it brought back some old memories for me. I remember when my wife and I went there for the first time,we were amazed! However, we very quickly discovered there was very little we could afford to buy there. So we hatched this plan to just get shopping bags and gift paper with Harrods name & logo on them and then find Christmas gifts at cheaper stores but wrap them or bag them in the Harroods stuff so we could impress our friends and family. LOL and we pulled it off pretty good. ciao, Denny
