Officially an Intern!

Today was a very exciting day! But I should probably start from the beginning.

Yesterday I had my interview the Associated Press! My internship coordinator gave me directions from google maps to the place. Lauren and I had gone on Monday to our respective internship locations to make sure that we could easily get to them on Tuesday. We were fully prepared, and the places were relatively easy to find. On Tuesday, we left an hour before my interview. Took the underground with no problem, and arrived at my interview place 15 minutes early. Perfect.

Except not. I had noticed the day before that it seemed a little abandoned, but I figured since it was the Bank holiday, that they were just out and about and hadn't come to work. Tuesday, it didn't seem anymore open. Keep in mind that the internet in our flat had died on Monday, so we were unable to check any directions to make sure it was the right place. I asked a random person where the front door was and he said " As far as I know, that place is scheduled to be demolished this week. Sorry, love." Instant panic.

I ran back to the Mcdonalds that Lauren was using the internet at, and asked her to look up the phone for the AP. Turns out, they had moved 3 years ago and google maps never updated. Long story shot, instead of being 15 mintues early, I was 30 minutes late.

Even through all of that.... I start my internship next Tuesday at 10 am!

Off to Hyde Park with Lauren to do some reading!

Cheerio!
