Work, Work, Work.... Fun, Fun, Fun

I have been so busy the past few days that I haven't had time to blog!  Or when I do have time, I'm just too tired!  So let's see, I started my internship at the PR firm on Wednesday, and it's been great!  I worked from 9am to 1pm, mostly going through Twitter and finding the people/companies that JK wants to follow.  Then I had to be back at school by 2pm for my Britain Today class, in which we went to the National Museum to look at some old stuff.  We looked at some artifacts from thousands of years ago, some of which was cool, some of which was not.  George kept asking, "Why am I not interested in this stuff?"  We were all too happy to get out of there at 5:30pm to go find a pub to have dinner at.  We went to the Plough Pub.  Afterward, some people had to go see a play at the Globe, while some of us didn't.  So those of us who didn't have to go see a play went back to Harrow to O'Neil's, where we all shared a few pints!  It was a great time, and I was home by 11pm! 

The next morning, which was yesterday morning, I had to be at work again and 9am.  I started out by looking through FeaturesExec.com to find stories that Kony Solutions might be interested in.  Basically, it's a website where publications can post story pitches that they will be publishing in the future.  If a company would like to be in it, may it be just a quote or something bigger, they can contact the editor.  It was my job to look through the site to find stories for Kony, a company that is interested in creating a platform for mobile apps that will make all apps universal.  How many of you understand what I just said?

At lunch, I went out with a few co-workers to Nando's, a really great Spanish restaurant with amazing chicken!  Everyone is very nice, and I think most people aren't much older than me, so we get along well!  After lunch, it was back to the grind!  I did a few other tasks, like drafting emails to be sent to some Mac and PC magazines about a new software for their cover discs.  And then he, Johnathan, had me send them!  With my name!  Kind of cool, I think.  I also managed some event schedules for Keynote and Cyber-Ark.  What an interesting day!

I got off work at 5:30pm and went home for dinner.  I was supposed to go out with everyone last night to that pub at Picadilly Circus that George and I found, but I was too tired!  So I stayed in bed and watched The Notebook :).  Cheers!
