Last Post

I am writing this post from America, because I had to start my last day super early and there was no free internet service at the LaGuardia Airport believe it or not. So for my last post I will briefly talk about my morning and just my whole feeling of my Internship.

Coming down from the Internship high

To put it simply, I have less than a week left in London, well technically a week. My flight leaves Friday morning. How am I feeling? I'm not sure, I have mixed feelings to be honest.

Marketing Espionage

During the later half of June is when I started doing marketing related task, all due to the arrival of the new intern. Of course I was excited and eager as well, but in the next few days I quickly noticed my dislike of the new intern, and finished my work quickly.

Midterm Meetings -text heavy- *Updated~!*

Midterm meeting on the double? I have already had one meeting before, but I didn't know I was going to have two meetings.

Farm Animals and being stubborn.

This past week a lot has happened. My ear refuses to clear itself despite the liquid and sudafed that I take, had midterm meeting with my boss and director of the program I'm on, went to a midterm party, went to a farm, and stood in line for three hours for something I wasn't even going to. It's been a long tiresome week but like I mentioned in my last post I now have exactly three weeks until my return to the United States.

Bring it!

This entire week I've been doing more office work, which is what I am supposed to be doing. It is also when I figured that
my actual internship would begin as well. When I first arrived I quickly learned that my work site was understaffed and needed help as much as possible. Mind you I didn't know I was going to be surrounded by children I despise them, but I sucked it up and provided as much assistance as I could for the next three to four weeks after my arrival.

Winston Churchill War Rooms

From my hazy memories from high school history class the name Winston Churchill is a name that my generation should at least know or heard about. Who knows, I feel that my generation got the short stick of several things so our minds are all over the place.

Anyways, during a moment in my internship I was able to review some history of this great leader.

The children's plague and a more disciplined internship?

So I thought only being ill once was the only thing that would happen while in London, well I was wrong.

Where's My Internship?!

I've been in London for almost three weeks and of course I've been working at my Internship for majority of those three weeks, give a day or two.

I do have one hang-up

No it's not having to walk everywhere, or riding the tube(train) every morning, listening to the accents. It's none of those...

I felt like I haven't actually started my internship.

HMS Belfast + London Bridge Rising

One of the perks of being an Intern at Hi-London is the fact that I am also able to see the different sights of London while helping student learn English, or being a chaperone.

Eh, no biggie!

Monday's trip was to the HMS Belfast, I had no clue what it was or the history, but on the way there I got to see the London Bridge, which then reminded me of a children's rhyme; London Bridge is falling...yeah anyways...

We're going on a bear hunt~!

Today was first actual day at my internship, despite the pain that still lingered! I was told that I was going to be with a group of children and see how the children's class works. So i dressed nicely because I thought I was going to be in a classroom, nope I was wrong tons of walking! We were on a mission to go see a puppet play!

To the Doctors and then to sleep?

A short day really,

This train terminates at Cockfosters

I finally arrived in the United Kingdom, but at the expense of my little body!

Before leaving America I started to feel a little ill, and it continued to get worse on the way to the airport, on the plane ride and during the tube ride ( the tube is what trains are called in the UK). I had the chills and lower back aches, and I'm
still not sure where it came from, but I'm surviving through it.
