Heya! Thanks for tuning back in...for my OCD mom, you'll be glad I updated (today I wore the blue sweater, just in case you were wondering), and to everyone else, I've got so much to tell!
Where to begin? Well, I started work on Monday for those of you who didn't know, and I'm working at a corporation called "Xtreme Information" (hence the title ;-)). What they do is actually quite a lot of different things, so it's a great fit for me, a communications major/a nerd, because I'll get to see a lot of different aspects of a company while I'm interning there. Xtreme Information is like the middle man or liason between large companies such as Sony, Coca-Cola, or Virgin Records, and media or PR organizations and also the go-between for marketing companies and their clients. So for instance, one of the services Xtreme provides for their clients, is a product called "weekly bulletin" which is basically daily updates on companies like, who's being promoted, what products and services are being released and when, contact information, trade news, and basically anything you wanna know and want to be up to speed on in the corporate world. The great part about it is, with Xtreme, all of the information is personally verified on the phone, not just read about or posted somewhere, and all of it can be delivered to you, the client, either in print form, or via email with daily alerts. Nifty huh?
So basically I have a baller job. I've been in suits the whole time, but it turns out they told me the first day, that I was way too overdressed, everything's casual there, and if I want to go into work in jeans and a hoodie, so be it. But I like keeping things professional and looking classy, I'm not gonna lie. Anyways, I've done a bunch of different jobs, from data entry, to research, to trip planning (that was on my own time), to finding out what the company does. It's pretty Xtreme if I do say so myself. Not to mention the people rule, are friendly, and are very helpful. I'm making great friends there.
Some more news in my life, is that it's only been 8 days since I left the states, but I already feel like two ways: 1) like I've accomplished so much, and that's awesome and 2) oh holy crap, I haven't done anything.
For Example...Sunday morning I got up early and took a trip down to Enbankment (the tube stop where Big Ben and Parliament are etc) and strolled up to Westminster Abbey with my friend Jenn from Elon. Walked right up to the guard, said hello and that I was there for the church service, and right away, I'm escorted in the side entrance of this amazing ancient cathedral and am seated for the end of the first service. Not only did I get into the Abbey free, which is clutch, but I got to hear the sounds of their traditional all-male choir lead the last half of the service in latin, a cappella, probably 6-part harmony. Heavenly. I was then allowed to sit in the CHOIR LOFT! (Amazing mind you) and see the second service first hand. It just blows my mind that in 2 hours time, basically 20 minutes away from me, I can go to a place where Lords, Dukes, and Kings have been crowned, and have the whole experience all at once. It was nuts.
Monday of course was work, but then since I had some time I left at 5, and went to a local park. Regents Park to be exact where I did some lovely site seeing on my own, photography (I think I'm becoming artistic...or just more nerdy), and people watching of course. Strolled through Queen Mary's gardens for a bit and then headed to the flat for dinner. I'm really awesome at making pasta by now, trust me.
Tuesday I had classes, which are going to be a lot of work, but I think worth it too. And uneventfully, I had to get groceries, so I didn't do something out of this world then, however, errands are always helpful.
Yesterday, however, was a great day. Not only did I finish another awesome day at work (day 2 done) but I stayed in my suit and headed back towards Enbankment to see a show as part of my theater class that I'm taking in London. Amazingly enough, (and for my camera too), it was Sunset along the Thames, and I got some more epic pictures (I know they're on their way mom...soon), and guess what else happened? Even before we walked into the National Theater, I'm taking photos along the railing of the beach, and low and behold, a movie crew is shooting a scene. I didn't realize it at the time, until I inquired later, but at the same time, I was probably an extra in a movie!!!! And guess who the actor was that was in it? Richard Bremmer. I didn't know it at the time, but turns out, that's the guy who plays Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies...crazy huh? Kelsey, you're probably really jealous by now, so I apologize, and unfortunately, I didn't get any photos with him, or of him, because he was acting in a show in the other theater near by, but I figured I'd mention it here anyways.
So then the play. (This is for mom especially) It was called "Some Trace of Her" and was an adaptation/impressions on Dostoevsky's "The Idiot" (some russian author's novel hehe). But the crazy thing was, it was in this very small black box theater, and on the stage, there were the actors, and a load of camera equipment, lights, microphones, and props. When the show started, not only were the actors below, doing scenes, and whatnot, but ALSO operated all of this equipment, which produced a movie, that was being shown, in live-time on a projector screen above them, that you watched. So it was a black and white movie (the play's a tragedy), that you watched all of the action as if you went to the big cinemas, but also a play. CRAZY!?!?!
Not only that, but the actors were incredible, the skill level was phenomenal, and though it was a grim show, I'm just blown away by the special effects, camera-work, and talent that I got to see. It probably doesn't sound like I'm actually doing much school stuff here, but trust me...the work is filled up during the day.
Anyways, I'm headed off to school to plan a trip with some flatmates and friends, I just finished doing my laundry in the bathtub, with hot tub jets on...yes, I am that Ghetto...and hopefully in the next few days I'll post some pics somehow so you can follow me around more! Thanks for tuning in and sorry I type so much...but once again, as the Brits say...Cheers!

I've on all occasions liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to kind of virtuous spend in days of yore staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and strain and just deem in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in place of of dolls and cars I've always collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most enchanted when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Appear Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a harmonious caddy, a spinning better, and a radiance reveal all rolled into one. Which is great relaxation! The gyroscope transfer whirl for about a minute. The laser slight show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unequalled bauble that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.
My dogs are also nice-looking eccentric about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser insight advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but just keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused by it. Off it's proper to possess pleasing toys around the blood so that you can pull out the small on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go prepare viands or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such play with with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a taper show with red, blue, and unripened colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser luminosity show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but allowable enough to accommodate any redone customer to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look very coolth, and somewhat masculine with that dragon imprint.
The music flare plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also euphemistic pre-owned this gyroscope to their heels my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the b & b elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser insight clarify produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a degree mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, past the custom, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my default shopping placement in favour of all gifts and ideas for romanticist occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance playing gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a great Christmas give-away for the toddler or even the humour! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a gracious totalling to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can imagine placing it near the Christmas tree and peradventure spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my duty yet again!
