After class we wasted time outside in the sun waiting for our internship meetings. At 12:55 I found out my internship... I'm working under a man named Wayne Iles, an Account Executive at Bauer Advertising (formerly EMap).
My duties include:
- liaising with management
- research
- client relations
- brainstorming ideas
- formulating strategies
- finding reasons to visit with the client
- making pitches
- attending meetings
- seeing projects through from start to finish
- schematics - budgets, time tables, costs of promotions
I'm really excited about it, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted... actually, all of the roommates got pretty much what they wanted! We're all happy with our placements, so, good job IE!
After our placements we came back and made lunch and just hung out, relaxed, researched our companies, I painted my nails. Then we got ready and all went out to celebrate! Megan wasn't feeling well though =(
We went to Tiger Tiger - a club we'd heard many good things about... but I think all of the good things we heard raised our expectations a bit higher than they should've been. There were barely any people there our age - if any at all. And we were told it was ladies night but the club was full of guys... I guess they were all looking for the ladies that weren't there. It was fun for the most part.. I wanted to dance more, but maybe somewhere else next time.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my internship and anxious to start. My interview is monday at 10am.. They tell us the interview is "very important" and we aren't guaranteed our position, but I'm pretty sure if we don't totally screw up the interview, we have the spot. Plus, I'm not competing with anyone so I'm not that nervous.
I'm tired though, and we have class early tomorrow, so, goodnight!
PS - I'm homesick. I love London and I love being here, but there are some little things that make me miss home and the people I don't like being away from.

Congrats on the internship!!! sounds exciting, can't wait to hear how the interview goes and all about your first day at "work" :)
what do you miss most about home? maybe a care package will find it's way across the pond.
love you!
Hey babe. How can you possibly be homesick for anyone but Heath. You're having the time of your life and going bankrupt at the same time. Watch those pennies; you still have 3 more months there and it has to last.
I'm working feverishly on my pond. Had it filled with water yesterday at 10AM and then worked on it for 3 hours last night and 4 hours this morning before the downpour to get the rocks in place around the edge of the liner. Driving home last night just happened to run across a very nice sized pond turtle crossing the road, so turned around and stopped in the middle of the road, opened my door and picked it up. When I went to get out of the car at home, it showed me that it didn't like this idea at all and peed all over my lap. However, it really seems to like its new huge home. I picked up turtle food today at the pond place. Tomorrow I plan to finish the edging and then will hook up all the plumbing to the pump, skimmer and waterfall. I'm really excited and it looks great. I'll send you photos when it's almost done.
Love you and miss you.
Dad
