Catching up..

I apologize, I typed up a nice long report of my week at the end of this past weekend but apparently my post did not go through! Naturally, I really can't remember everything I have been up to lately, so bear with me..

Work-wise: Last week, I was finishing up my time at my other client. By the end of the week, the pressure was growing to get everything in on time, and fortunately I believe we finished very close to our targets. This week I have been doing a variety of things. I reported to the main office where I worked on several small tasks for various clients, and today I am on location at the original site I first visited. I like the variety of the job- I'm in different places, with different people, working on a multitude of tasks. Despite all the constant changes, there is a bit of familiarity and routine to the week, and it's a great combination.

Last weekend entertainment: As my friends and I have begun to panic that we only have about 6 more weeks in London, we have made an agreement to jam pack every day, night and weekend with everything we want to see before we go home. Despite being tired from work, having class/homework, and household chores to take care of, we have been working steadily to our goals. The highlight of last weekend was when my friend and I stumbled upon this glorious market. It was a brilliant mix of food vendors, retro boutiques, handmade crafts, cheesey souveniors, and everything in between. We had to show some self-control to not spend our entire life-savings, and it's safe to say I will be making a return trip to the Stables Markets in the future.

This week entertainment: I celebrated St. Patty's day as best I could in London, but I must say, I was greatly missing my friends and holiday routine back at Lehigh. Regardless, I had a good time and am looking forward to another busy weekend with my friends. Unfortunately, one of my closest mates here (we also agreed to incorporate British slang into our vocabulary..don't judge!) is going out of town for the weekend, and another has family coming to visit, so I might be fending for myself for a bit. It's OK, I do have plenty of shops and mueseums that are sometimes easier to visit by yourself, plus 2 papers to work that are due at the end of next week. Other good news..9 days countdown until my boyfriend comes to visit! With so much going on, I'm sure those days will pass right on by!

Friday's are my favorite..

Sooo I was on a roll for a bit there...but now I'll get us back on track!

To pick it up from last time, fashion week was sooo cool! I haven't uploaded my pics yet, but I'll just tell you that its definitely something you should experience once in your life! I relaxed the rest of the weekend as I had a busy week of work ahead of me..

This past week, my internship has allowed me to visit two of our client sites with an engagment team. Monday and Tuesday I took an overground train out to Surrey, and Wednesday and Thursday I was on site near Gatwick airport. I was nervous about finding my way with taking the trains for the first time, but luckily they were easy to figure out..I'm exhausted from the commutes though! I wake up at 6:15 to shower and eat breakfast, then I'm out the door by 7:15 to take the undergound to the train station and catch the 8:02 train. I work from 9-5:45/6, and am home by 7:15..it's definitely a long day (much longer than I anticipated this internship set up to be) but I am doing legitimate work for the team and am glad I am getting this experience.

This weekend has already started off on a good note. Last night my friends and I went to a club where the princes (yes, prince william and prince harry) have been known to hang out. Although they weren't there, we managed to have a great time without them. During my architecture class today we took a walk around Covent Garden, and although I've visited there before, my professor shed a whole new light on the area- I definitely want to go back again before I leave! I also did some shopping this afternoon, and I'm cleaning up my messy messy room so I have some clean space for this weekend. On the agenda for the next few days: EVERYTHING LONDON! I'll let you know!
