Step Into My Time Machine.... ♥ 3:20 AM


Ready to go back in time again? Close your eyes, take a deep breath aaaaand..... TA DA - it's now Monday July 13th!

On Monday, Professional Beauty got another intern. Her name is Michelle and will be working there until about a week after we leave. She is 25 and is wanting to go to university to study journalism, so we spent some of our time at work that day showing her around and telling her what it's like to work there. Then we left for class, which was at the BBC. We listened to the editor of the website tell us what the BBC online is like and how it all works and gave us quite a lot of good information. Afterwards Linden and Claire C. and I decided to go to Nando's for dinner considering that we didn't have any food at home. Nando's is a wonderful place because it is the only place we have found in the UK with free soda refills - probably the thing I miss the most about the States... Then the three of us were planning on going to quiz night at The King's Head, a local pub, but all the tables were taken so we decided we would come back another Monday night. Instead we headed home to watch a movie together in the living room.

Tuesday was work as usual. There really isn't very much to say about it, we had to use our laptops and work in the cafe because the designers were in and were using our computer so we spent the whole day working on spreadsheets.

I spent Wednesday morning packing, because I believe I forgot to mention this but Claire C., Linden and I were leaving for a weekend trip to Ireland Thursday night. So while Claire did her laundry I packed and then we went to class. Claire C., Linden and I were all very excited when we got back to class because we had tickets to see the new Harry Potter movie at 8:30 in Leicester Square(because apparently they don't do midnight premieres in England...). At about 7 the other Claire decided she might want to come with us, so we got online to look and see if there were any seats available next to us, because the Odeon theaters do assigned seating. As we were looking it became obvious that the Odeon in Leicester Square wasn't even playing the new Harry Potter movie...after a moment (or more) of panic we realized that there is in fact a town in London called Leicester and we had booked ourselves 3 tickets to see Harry Potter in it.

Now considering that it was a 2 hour train ride away, we spent the next 20 minutes frantically trying to find a theater that still had tickets since we didn't want to wait until we came back from Ireland to see it. We finally found one at 10:30, but they didn't have assigned seating so we got there at about 9 and waited, apparently needlessly since we were the first people in the theater. It was a great movie, obviously not as good as the books because they never are but as a movie it was the best one so far. Then because the movie was so long we had to take the night bus home, which was fine until we got on going the wrong direction and had to switch. We didn't make it home until about 2, but it was well worth it.

Now, I must continue writing my final paper for my British Life and Culture class which is a 3,000 word essay on how the British media differs from the American....I'm sure I'll be taking another break soon to catch up on the blog!


The End.
