Yay now for the real update!
I have now been in London for two nights and things are going well, and definitely adventurous!
Spend the first night doing a little walking around getting our bearings. We ended up at the pizza express (so very british of us i know). Where we ordered a bottle of wine, yes, wine. I am now officially of age and sophisticated enough to order wine from a restaurant. Hehe. Then we did a little wandering around Sloan square and found the tube station we need to use to get to our programs headquarters and such. It was all very unreal (still kind of is). I can not believe im in london!
Then on thursday all of the orientations began so I spent the majority of yesterday sitting through 3 hour talks about London and the Internships. The only exciting thing to come out of that one is that I got my Interview time and date. I know what you are all probably thinking. You thought I definitely had the job at the RAC club. Well you're not wrong my fine friends these interviews are mostly a formality and it is VERY unusual that the company turns away the intern after the interview. KNOCK ON WOOD. with my luck after saying that I will be the ONE person who that happens to haha.
So anyways Monday at 2:30 I will have to be dressed to the nines and ready to impress. wish me luck!
After the orientations me and my roommate decided to venture to the big grocery store that is closest to our program headquarters. WHICH to our defense is where everyone told us to go. So we did.... Keep in mind that my flat (hehe) is a couple tube stops away from headquarters and a good walk to and from the station. SO we were dumb and bought WAY too much groceries and then realized after we paid how difficult carrying it all back would be. Did not go so well haha.
Anyways after all that a big group from the program ended up going to a pub/bar called the Shakespeare. If only drinks didnt cost a ridiculous amount .... I may be very poor very soon. even one drink puts me back.
More adventures to come!
(and im not going to say that no one will be reading this for the benefit of Chris Harris...who pointed out that someone would have to read my blog to see that i wrote that probably no one wants to read what im saying haha.)
