National Portrait Gallery

So today was a great day. I headed off to my internship and of course made some phone calls again for Green ICT and gaining contact information for the person responsible for implementing Green ICT in their particular office. This is because we are having an event in September for the technology sector, with the focus on going green, and we just need to make sure that all rel event people receive information about this event. I called both police stations (from yesterday) and then I called prisons too. Also, my boss ensured me that next week, we will not be making calls. It was just a pressing issue and it needed to be completed quickly. However, my boss said that next week, we will be working more with events - maybe a day or two of phone calls, but that is it.

Then, I went to South Kensington and then from there, headed to Manson Place to meet some people to go to our Thursday cultural activity. We went to the National Portrait Gallery and walked around for a bit. We saw some great paintings - both comtemporary and paintings of various royal families etc. I got a meringue cookie - which was good, but too sweet. I had a funny moment here - I went in the elevator to go down to the first floor with some EUSA students. So we were on the second floor and tried to press the button for the first floor and it wouldn't press in. The doors closed (and this elevator was so small - they said it could fit 10 people, but the three of us took up all of the space.) The doors opened and we thought we were on the first floor, but we were actually on the second floor still because the first floor was closed.

We then headed back to Manson Place in South Kensington and watched the season premier of Big Brother for London. We then headed to the computer center and we booked a trip to Ireland - Dublin for July 26-28!

We have professional development seminars tomorrow and then off to maybe the zoo or aquarium (depending on the weather).

Cheers!
