Week 2

This was the week my internship at Systech Legal started. It's a super cool place- I was kinda under the impression that I would just be doing a lot of sitting around, but boy, was I wrong!

The second I walked through the door, I was in meetings, typing up legal briefs, organizing, copying, pasting, binding- it was crazy! I think they thought I was already in law school- not many people in England do internships, so everyone at Systech is a little confused about what it is exactly I'm doing there.

But even though it's challenging, I like it. I feel like I learned a lot in two days, and can't wait to see what I learn in four months.

Plus, I took the tube all by myself for the first time to Systech. The tube really isn't hard to figure out- it's just a little intimidating. But the more you use it, the more you realize there's really nowhere in London you could go that you can't get back home from. Sometimes, I like it better than driving myself, because if you take a wrong turn, you just hop on another tube line at the next station. You're never just stuck with nowhere to go.

The best part about this week? Seeing Wicked! Me, Chels, Hil, Stace, and Katie got third row seats! It was AMAZING! It was pretty funny to hear all the songs I know by heart in British accents though- some lines/lyrics sounded completely different.

The weekend of our second week we went to Skipton and York. It was pretty cool- we saw our first castle in Skipton! York was a little boring, and I got stuck in a bed and breakfast a kinda weird group of girls- made me miss just rooming with Hilary. York was gorgeous, I just don't really like small town life. Made me want to go back to London. What can I say- I'm a city girl!
