Winner!

I won the beer drinking contest!  Well, I won by default.  Russell didn't show up, apparently he and Damien got stuck in London because of the tube strike.  But I'm sure I would have won anyway.  Everyone met at the Castle on Tuesday night, and a friend that Kaeline and I had met on Monday night bought us all drinks!  He is a really cool guy, his name is Chris, who is sitting next to me in the picture.

After having a few drinks there, we moved on to Trinity, where there were a lot more people!  George (the only black guy in the picture) and I met this guy named Adam there.  He is really cool, and I think George and I are going out for drinks with him tonight. 

Yesterday, we slept in because both Kaeline and I didn't have class until the afternoon.  I had an introduction to my both of my classes and met with my internship supervisor, Natasha.  She is really nice.  Andy, who is the only other student doing an internship (and who I thought was gay, but when I mentioned something relating to it, he informed me that he was not- can I put my foot in my mouth now please?), and I will meet with her once a month to talk about and reflect on our internships.  We all finished around 5:30pm, so we walked over toward the Globe Theatre to have dinner before going to see "The Merry Wives of Windsor."  About half of us left halfway through the play because we were too uncomfortable standing there for so long.  It was hard to enjoy the play because we were thinking of how uncomfortable we were!  We all went home after that and had an easy night.

Today I had to be at a meeting with my internship placement advisor, Emily, at 11:45am.  I got over there early so I could stop into Nero Cafe to have a latte and a pain au chocolat!  It was so fun to sit there and watch the people walking by; I love the styles here!  And I think I fit in quite well!  Lots of earthy colors, leggings, and boots. 

Emily gave me the address of Johnson King, and they are expecting me to come in on Monday.  I'm excited, but a little nervous!

After our meeting, Andy and I decided to go to the Victoria and Albert Museum over in South Kensington, just a few tube stops away.  It was beautiful, and I would have taken pictures if my camera hadn't run out of battery right before we got there!  They have a wonderful fashion gallery.  I really loved looking at the styles from the 19th century, they were so intricate!  I will be going there again, as well as other museums in South Kensington, with a full battery in my camera.

Harrod's and Top Shop are also in South Kensington, so I will be going there soon! Until next time, cheers.
