So, its 2 weeks into the trip. Man those two weeks have flown by. I am excited that its starting to get close to the time for me to come home, but at the same time, I am really enjoying London.
My work weeks have become a really nice routine. I wake up around 7, shower & get ready, head out at 8 to make sure that I am at work by 9. My tube ride consists of 3 lines: Central or District, Northern and Central. The ride usually takes me about 30 minutes in all, plus my mile long walk to Sloane Square. Its a good routine, I enjoy it.
On Wednesday this week, work got a little hectic. Stephanie (another intern at Bell Pottinger) and I had to help Chloe (also another intern, but from Stratford) with a six-month analysis report of how Bell Pottinger's services saved the client money that it would have spent on advertising in the publications that Bell Pottinger got their name in. It was hectic and stressful, but it gave me a look into another part of the PR world. I enjoy the fact that my internship is not as much writing as the internship at News and Information because I get to see the other part of public relations. I know it isn't all writing, so it gives me a little more confidence.
After work on Wednesday, our group went to see Billy Elliot, courtesy of Anglo American. I have to say that they play was good. I would have been a little more comfortable if I had known the storyline ahead of time, but overall the play was good. At one point, I felt like I had been dropped into Michael Jackson's playhouse. The scene was just slightly disturbing.
Thursday, we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. I will admit, I wanna read the books and see all the movies now. The movie was really good and everyone is telling me that the books are so much better than the movie because the movie didn't develop the characters as well. I'll have to borrow someone's books and find out for myself.
Yesterday was our group trip to Hampton Court. Personally, I enjoyed the trip because it gave me a chance to enjoy the beautiful gardens that are seldom planted anymore. We had a lot of fun--I love garden mazes. They're so much fun! It is much smaller than it used to be, but it is still fun to run around in! After we found the center of the maze and the exit, I really wanted to just keep running around in there like a little kid, just because it was so much fun! Afterwards, Erin, Laura, Jess and I went over to buy tickets for a theatre show that has ORLANDO BLOOM in it! Yes, that's right ORLANDO I-am-Legolas-and-Will-Turner-hottest-celeb-on-the-planet BLOOM. And the best part is that we got the 45 pound tickets for 15! I can't wait! =)
After buying those tickets and being giddy as schoolgirls, we went to Covent Garden, and I FINALLY bought my fork bracelet. It's awesome. Then, before heading home, Jess and I bought tickets for Wicked for 7 of us to see this Thursday. I also bought the book because Jessica HIGHLY recommended it.
I woke up this morning and happened to look out my window at my pretty view. That view now includes an up close and personal view of a crane. And now I look out my window, and the crane is gone. How does that happen?! (No, I am not hallucinating.) I hope to go wandering around Oxford Circus today to do some shopping for gifts for friends and family today, and maybe a little for myself as well. I have to keep in mind when buying all of my gifts that I have to be able to get them all home on the plane. I also need to clean my room and do laundry. Yay.
Tomorrow is our trip to Stratford upon Avon. I am excited. This is an exciting week ahead. Thursday is Wicked. Friday is Paris. Saturday is recovery. Next Tuesday is ORLANDO BLOOM. =)
