First day of work done and I'm totally shattered (A phrase I've picked up from one of my British mates meaning 'extremely sleepy')
Work was a lot of fun. I cannot lie, it's just a lot of standing up/running around/information being thrown at me....
The day started out with a cup of tea (not surprisingly... no carrot cake though) Then I met about 10-12 people... Two were named James and two others Keith, so if I ever blanked, I chose one of the two... and I was usually right. Next, I went with one of the James' to do some deliveries around town. He pointed out a lot of the company's other clients along the way, and at our last stop, we were able to look around at the Diane Arbus exhibit... which was awesome. After I got back, I helped one of the guys shoot some paint pallets from the 1800's. One was William Beechey's and I can't remember the others, but it was also very old. The rest of the day I learned about Photoshop and how they use it, how to frame pictures, and just a lot of other things here and there. At 11 and 4 every day we have a tea break where I entertained them all by telling them about where I was from and a little about America/Indiana... They were very intrigued by the concept of Bourbon... the town. For my lunch break, I grabbed a sandwich and went down to the park to enjoy it... It was such a nice day.
When I got back, I booked my trips to Pairs and Ireland! And figured out the rest of my weekends....
1st: Day trip to Cotswold on Saturday... Birthday weekend as well!
2nd: PARIS.
3rd: The Royal Ascot day trip and perhaps Greenwich?
4th: IRELAND.
5th: Bath
6th: Last weekend in London :( - Probably go to a show
7th: Return to the US of A
Rough life, right? I'm getting really comfortable with the city and being here now (There's a lot I haven't discovered, I know... but I feel very comfortable here) but I still catch myself thinking "HOLY CRAP... I'm in London!" on a daily basis...
Well, I best head off to bed. Another full day tomorrow with work and class right after. Cheerio!
