Happy 20th Birthday To Me!

So today started off like any other day. I woke up, got on the tube and headed to Embankment for my internship. I finished the header opening for the emails for the events in July, and then I did some more header openings for emails for September and started the ones for July. Basically my job was to research various articles and recent news about each event and relate that news to that event for marketing purposes when it is sent out to the delegates. I did have some down time between each task, but it is very interesting. While I was researching about London 2012, I read up on the highlights and updates that London plans to incorporate for the Olympics - it was very interesting to look at the plans and designs and to also look at some job descriptions that they are hiring. I then ate lunch at McDonald's - it was quite good! In London, instead of calling clear soda 7up or Sprite, they call it Lemonade.

Anyways, I returned back to the internship and made myself a cup of tea since I was tired. I then found out that another student from EUSA will be interning at Inside Government starting Tuesday. Everyone in the office is quite nice and very sociable. I finally got my computer and email set up as well. At the end of the day, I told everyone it was my birthday after they asked what I was doing this evening - they all did not know.

After looking at a few events that Inside Government plans, I noticed that a few were held in Northern Ireland - maybe I will be working those...

I then headed over to Victoria to attempt to order the ticket for Stonehenge - unfortunately, they were closed. I hope to order them tomorrow. So I headed over to South Kensington to pick up a letter that I received at EUSA from my aunt and uncle.

I headed back to my flat and had to get a new key (since they changed the locks). I went upstairs and took a nap. My flatmates did not do dinner tonight because there was a huge football game on - so we will postpone until next week.

At 8:00 pm tonight, I met some EUSA friends for dinner at Bella Italia. It was delicious and I ordered pizza. I was surprised by them that they ordered me a cake and had the waiter light candles and sing to me - it was quite touching. They even treated me too!

I then went back to South Kensington to attempt to plan the rest of the trip to France - hopefully we will book tomorrow.

My camera is coming in tomorrow (hopefully) and I will be going to the Shakespeare's Globe at night.

Cheers!
