Hi Everybody! Today was a pretty normal day at work, I got to leave early because we had class though. Amy and I had dinner at Burger King (a bit shameful, but it is fast!) and then went to class. We talked for awhile about the shootings and our professor had printed out some of the shooter's writings and we talked about those for awhile too. I was ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Today was a pretty normal day at work, but I got to leave early because I met Caitlin and her parents (who just flew in yesterday and are visiting for a week) in Leicester Square for dinner before we saw Cabaret (my last social programme ticket). Caitlin's parents are very nice and I had a great chicken caesar salad - they usually ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So today was pretty much a normal Tuesday, with of course the exception of the tragedy that happened yesterday. It was a very big deal here too, on the front covers of all the papers. Jen said that in New Zealand they dedicated at least ten minutes of the news to it. I have been keeping up with everything online but I can't imagine ( Read more... )

As an aside, I didn't know quite how to put this into my journal but everyone here is very upset about what happened today at Virginia Tech. I can't believe this happened, it is just so incredibly awful. I hope that this will convince the government that it imperative to have stricter gun control laws. More people died in that one shooting than die ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Today was a pretty typical day, went to work (though I spent most of the time making facebook albums since no one was around and hey, the portfolio's done!) I handed the portfolio in, went grocery shopping (you'll be pleased mom, lot's of fruit!) and watched the new Desperate Housewives with Betsy and her friend. Then I was supposed ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! I'm very happy because the portfolio is finally done! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still annoying because all I wanted to do was be outside today! So I hate to say this for the sake of everyone at home reading, but it was almost 80 degrees today! Sunny and so beautiful, the only bad part was that I don't have any ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Today was a great day because I took a day trip with the program to Cambridge. I was a bit worried because Caitlin was supposed to go with me but she texted me before we were supposed to leave and said she wasn't feeling well. I was worried that I wouldn't know anyone but luckily Alyssa went to. I hung out with her and her friend ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So not a lot to report again since all I did today was work on the porfolio. It was my first day with nothing to do in I can't even remember how long and that was really nice, but it would have been better if I didn't have to spend the whole day on this paper! I did go to Hyde Park for a bit with my laptop to work on it, a) because it ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So today was not very exciting because I had to start working on the dreaded portfolio. 40 pages of nothing that will count for anything, what a waste. I managed to procrastinate for awhile by taking a walk in Hyde Park with Caitlin. We had both been in our offices all day long so we wanted to get to enjoy the beautiful weather for a ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So not too much to report here, just went to work and once again nobody was around so I got to leave at 2:30 to work from home. I of course couldn't get started on work right away but I managed to get some stuff done on the database. The Caitlin and I went and did laundry and had dinner so I didn't really get anything done on my ( Read more... )
