Heading Toward Parliament

Today was a great day - very busy, but it flew by. I got a great nights sleep and headed toward my internship. I updated the master attendance list for the Second Annual Parliamentary Awards/Champagne Reception. After finding parliamentary (MPs’ and Lords’/Baronesses’) contacts, I began to telephone each parliamentary to confirm their attendance. After the list was completed, I went back and re-called people that I could not get through to, or who I left messages for last week to see if they plan to attend. I also converted all of the presenters’ PowerPoint presentations from the events last week into PDF files so that they would be ready to be sent out to all of the delegates that attended the event.

For lunch, I went to Nando's again - delicious!!

I was also told today that on top of being able to go for the reception at the House of Lords, I am going to be able to take a tour of Parliament during my workday - so I am quite excited about that.

I then went back home and wrote the addresses on my postcards - slowly I am getting them done.

I am going to go to bed early tonight, hopefully write the two papers for school tomorrow. Also, I need to wake up early tomorrow for an event - Meeting the Manufacturing Challenge Through Investment in Innovation, Skills and Green Technologies at One Birdcage Walk - right near Parliament again. On Thursday, I am going to see an Opera about the Barber of Seville. On Friday, I will pay my last rent, give them my date of departure (hopefully I will have Rome/Vatican figured out by then), attend the Professional Development Seminar, then off to Ireland!

Cheers!
