We've Caught the Pig. ♥ 4:03 AM
Well, I think I can easily catch you up on the week after Ireland starting with Monday, July 20th ine one blog post quite easily and then we'll be nearly caught up!
When we got home, our entire flat began coughing and sneezing, loosing our voices and drinking tea to make it all better. Needless to say, it put a bit of a damper on our week and basically all we had the will to do was to go to work and school.
Monday at work we finally finished up our spreadsheets and Jenni finally said the words we'd been waiting to hear, "This afternoon I want you to do a bit of writing." So, Claire and I - and unfortunately the new intern who in our opinion has not been there long enough to be able to write with us, especially considering that she has yet to go to university - are working on very short (about 200 word) stories on unusual jobs that beauty therapists have. I'm writing about Cirque du Soleil make up designers, Claire is writing about a business called Cassinosage that does massages at the tables in Vegas, and Michelle is writing about Pawdicurists (pedicures for dogs).
Tuesday at work we picked salons and spas to be on our reader panel for the month and sent out emails, generally spending the day trying to pass the time as Jenni was our of the office and we didn't really have much to do. We even organized the magazines to put them in order of publication and cleaned off our desks.
I can't really remember what we did Wednesday, but given the way we were feeling my guess is we just stayed home in the morning and read our books and slept until we had to go to class in the afternoon. After class it was most likely more of the same.
Thursday we had to put a few finishing touches on our spreadsheets, and at lunch time Claire and I begged Laura's permission to go home because we were feeling miserable and she gladly let us go. So we spent the rest of the day at home checking the email and trying to recover.
Friday we had our British Life and Culture class and afterward we went home and rested, talked about one of the projects that we have due in the coming weeks. Claire C.'s sister and friend Carlyee came to visit for the weekend, so that night we went out to a club called Cargo with them. Linden and I left pretty early with some other girls in our program, but we ended up taking the wrong bus and it took us quite a while to get home.
The End.
