What can I say about this week. So much happened so I will only cover the main events.
Tuesday was my last day at tdg. We finished up our work and headed out for a celebratory drink. We seemed to walk forever as Patrick played a sort of tour guide as we tried to figure out where we were going. We did get to see the outside of Patrick's new apartment. The building and location made me jealous. It reminded me that people actually live in London for more than just months at a time. Lucky!
We ended up at a wine bar to share a few bottles of Champagne. It was so much fun! It was kind of the perfect end to a great internship. We talked about everything it seemed like. We even touched on politics, seeing as the election was going to be the next weekend. But we all left the night with a feeling great.
This was the same night that the program was going to the dog races at Wimbeldon, and also the night that I had to prepare for a presentation the next day. Sweet procrastination. Luckily it was a presentation on Advertising, and that's sort of my thing, or at least I like to think that it is. My partner, Alex, and I kicked out a powerpoint in an hour and were going to refine it in the morning. Needless to say, we rocked it, with top marks. Sometimes it pays to have good public speaking skills.
After advertising we sat through the maybe the most painful Art class ever. We sat in a classroom for our review session for three hours. We looked at paintings that we had already seen but were asked questions about them that made me realize how screwed I was for the final. I was going to need to study, study, study for this test. We are to know the artist, title and relative date of creation not to mention how it was created. AHHHHH! Freak out.
Thursday was our last BES class and it was actually a reentry seminar. The whole thing was too depressing. I didn't want to think about leaving London. It was followed by our last Contemporary Brit class. It was all about Britian's relationship with America. Talk about opening a can of worms. Everyone seemed to agree that America like to bully Britian, and even though the Brits love the products of American culture (like TV, movies, music) they don't want to be associated with them. But all this just reminded me that I was going to leave. To cheer me up, we made out last trip to our favorite burrito shop, Tortilla. It was delicious.
After Tortilla I had to go back and finish packing. I was going to Barcelona later that day. That's a trip to remember. I will tell you about that next.
Pip Pip Cheerio!
