London Update 28 January

Today is it. It is my last day in London England this year. Let me recap a little bit about last night. After work, I met up with my good frine Sulekha whom I went to college with in FL. She graduated last year and is now living in Endinburgh and studying at St. Andrews. We went to areat pub for dinner and then out for a few pints aftwards. It was brilliant to see her again. Sulekha, if you read this, come back to Florida!

Today was my last day at NASN. I was only in for a half day as I still needed to pack this evening. I did my usual tasks at work and then I was taken out to lunch by everyone in the office and given a great going away gift of a NASN fleece. I had a great experience and I wish it could be a little longer despite being ready to head back to the US of A.

My flight is at 10.10 am tomorrow morning from Heathrow which means I will be leaving where I am staying around 06.15 am. I then fly to Chicago for a quick lay over beofer heading ot Minneapolis and arriving around 04.15 pm. Then before I know it, I will be back in Florida on Sunday and at Disney World on Monday. Now to go enjoy my last night in London with the snow. Let it snow, let it snow, Let it snow.

London Update 27 January

Well, the end is now almost here. I am finalizing some projects here at NASN before heading out to dinner with my friend Sulekha whom graduated last year from Eckerd and whom I haven’t seen in a year. I can’t wait. Should be a fun time. Tomorrow I will be in at NASN half the day then packing. That’s about it to report for now.

London Update 26 January

The days are ticking away until I head back to MN. This past weekend, I spent it relaxing and being a tourist. I met up with some friends at the Eckerd College Study Centre on Friday evening after work and had a nice American dinner, Pizza Hut. It was nice to have something familiar (and cheap as well). Saturday I selpt in a bit and then trekked over to the west end to Eckerd once again where a group of us set out for Greenwich and the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observetory, where the prime meridian is located. That was a fun filled day of hiking and museum gonig before we parted ways at Waterloo station. I went home to the Docklands and proceded to make myself some dinner and do a load of laundry.

Sunday, I simply relaxed and slept in. After waking up, I just watch Hollyoaks and read my textbook for class and started sorting out my thoughts for my final paper. Today I am at work which will be my second to last full day. Intersting thought that I have been here almost a month and it has just flowen by. Anyways, I’m off to head back to my projects and then home in a bit.

London Update 22 January

Well folks. exactly a week from today I will be heading back to the US of A. It has been a fun month but the high exchange rates have not made it fun financially. Another day in the office today with lots of work being done on final preparations for the Super Bowl party promotions we are running. Last night was a relaxing one and I was able to catch ER on Channel 4 which made me happy. Too bad they are a season behind the US over hear but it is my favorite show none the less.

In other news, I am still waiting for the WDW College Program to finish updating their website database so I can apply for the CP for next fall. That’s call for now.

London Update – 17 & 18 January

Well, a little less than a fortnight left here in London which is both suprising and encouraging at the same time. I have been very busy with my internship but the tasks are getting repetative and what not. This weekend I did what I wanted and just relaxed. I saw some of my Eckerd College friends after work on Friday and even had a little longer stay there than I wanted due to some drunk guy trying to get in to the house. Two quick calls to 999 solved the issue and I was finally able to head home. Yesterday I just cruised around on my own by Picadilly Circus, the British Museum and the Eckerd College house before calling it a night. Today I slept in again and have just been reading and hanging out around home. It’s nice not to have anything that holds you down and that you can just relax when you want to. I have work in the morning again and this week will be more calling and finalizing things for the Super Bowl I’m sure. That’s all for now foks!

London Update 16 January

Last nights commute was not much better than the morning. There was a motor bike crash just north of Peter and Pam’s house and all bus routes and traffic for that matter was diverted the complete other way. I finally got to Excel (across the docks from Peter and Pam’s) and walked the rest of the way in rain and wind. This was just nasty and I was happy to get inside and warmed up. Today I spent most of my internship making phone calls to various pubs/sports bars/etc around London seeing if they were offering any Super Bowl XXX VIII parties. The reasoning being is so we can coordinator a NFL prize pack drawing at the venues and promote the channel. After work, I am heading to the Eckerd College Study Centre to visit with some friends and get some dinner. That’s really about it for today.
