That plane ride affected my sleep I didn't have to officially rest up. Every Friday, my internship assigns us to attend these professional development classes. I swear I feel like I'm in my Fall 08/ Spring 09 classes again. The information is sooo repetitive about : Job organizations, effective communication blah blah blah!!!!. The presenter is an English/British (not too sure of background) man. Some of the words he was saying had me like "huh?" For example : Way out=Exit, Mass=Math. Their signs are different colors as well. The Exit sign is green. I have a question about that: what if a person is colorblind and in case of an emergency and he's by himself, how can he figure out the fire exit???.
During the presentation, this ONE BOY disgusted me. He had the audacity to put his dirty, crusty feet on the seat in front of him with no shame!! Me and my friend were disgusted and wanted to tell him something but...those are his feet and not mine lol.
**Pret a Manger****
There is a mini restaurant that I would recommend anyone to go to. Thanks to my NP sisters, they told me about Pret-a-Manger. Their sandwhiches are on point and made fresh without XYZ ingredients, but it can get quite pricey. As advertized, many England drinks do not have high fructose corn syrup, potassium sorbate, aspartaine, phosphoric acid, colorings, artifical flavorings. If you do not know about these ingredients DO YOUR RESEARCH! Lot of food shops here have many natural/ veggie options too choose from
***My interview****
I stay on my grind!!!!!!!! Even though I came late into the program, I wanted this internship and do not give the visa/internship placement program people a reason to complain!!!!!
After the professional class, I went straight to my internship. I went there early and lucky thing I did, I GOT LOST!!! Again a nice Londoner directed me in the right way. I arrived there 45 mins before my scheduled time (2:00pm GMT). Omg, I thought since I am there early, that they will do the interview right there...Nope I had to wait another 30mins. Their main options of drinks are TEA, COFFEE OR WATER so my future tourist, get used to hearing that everyday. The wait was worth it, I did well in my interview and I start on Monday :D
**Star Light moment**
I was on t.v today. When I left my internship, a cameraman asked me questions about the North Korean missle launched. I answered what I knew( very minimal) and he liked it!!!
***My Student apartment**
These people that I share a kitchen with slobs!! Home training is out the window! And the 'Maitenence' did not clean my room, they stil had dirty sheets and left me with new ones to put in. WTH we payin $$$$$ for.
***No eye contact AND Official first lost incident!****
Me and my two friends were walking from a Pub. There was a drummer that sounded hot! so I told them to "wait"! When I turned out, they LEFT ME!!!!. Mind you, this is my First night there. Thank god I remembered what bus we came on and I got home safely. While I was looking for them, me and this dude kept getting eye contact. We eventually talked and exchanged numbers. I like his name (Aidraus pronounced A-dree-us).
***REMINDERS****

-Ladies, Do not wear heels here, there is too much commuting and your feet with have serious calouses (sp)
