Today, I woke up early for an event at the Victoria Park Plaza Hotel – “National Curriculum Reform: Creating a Curriculum Fit for the 21st Century.” My tasks were helping with registration and also was “assistant program manager/event manager” for the day. I helped with the question and answer session, helped organize the catering and exhibitors, and made sure the conference ran smoothly. Actually, one of the speakers almost fainted on stage, and my responsibility was to provide the necessary foods/beverages to help her get some potassium back into her body. I then returned back to the office and converted the PowerPoint slides from this week’s conferences into PDF Format so that they would be ready to send to the delegates who attended, and also created surveys for events next week via surveymethod.com. I also trained a new intern how to do the PowerPoints and surveys for Inside Government.
The lunch was quite delicious at the hotel and the desserts were even more incredible. I took the leftover desserts back to the office.
Before I left, I received a huge card and a box of chocolate from my co-workers - I took many pictures and was told that I would be able to come back next summer to work and get paid. When I asked what I could improve, I was told nothing and that I did a great job. It was so sad to leave!
I then walked around Trafalgar Square and saw the center of London. I also went into the National Gallery and took a few pictures of famous paintings - Monet etc. I then went to TGI Fridays to have a quick burger and off to Her Majesty's Theatre for Phantom of the Opera. We both wore purple so we matched. We had a glass of champagne to celebrate a great internship and the show itself was amazing.
We then went to Leicester Square for a quick bit at Pizza Hut and then went home.
Cheers
