Well, the day finally came! Apologies for no posts this past week; I barely had time to sleep and eat, let alone blog. Even now I’m going off of three hours of sleep since Friday night.
Flying for the first time was crazy! I have a 10 minute video just of my first take-off. We hit a lot of turbulence on my flight to London, which the screaming child in front of me wasn’t too fond of. Before the flight, I thought: ‘If a kid can do it, so can I!’
There went that dream.
My second day has been much more calm. I started my internship today, and although that was a little nerve-wracking, it provided a nice, structured routine.
Work I can handle! It’s everything else that is hard. For instance, I just boiled pasta in the microwave because I couldn’t figure out the stove and was too tired/hungry to ask the front desk all the way down on the first floor.
I’ll be posting again on Thursday, so maybe by then I will have mastered how to live and survive by myself! (Another distant dream.)
Some pictures:
That building is “commonly” known as the Gherkin building. I googled ‘rocket building in London.’ You’re welcome.
Let me know of any things I absolutely must do around this area! So far I’ve only managed to go to Boots and Tesco.
