What day is it?

I'm feeling a lot less jet lagged today, but I swear, it could be July already and I wouldn't be surprised.
The days seem to fly here...maybe it's because I know its earlier where you guys are. It's almost 7 and you guys are still enjoying the afternoon! Maybe it's just cuz they are so jammed pack, at least in the mornings, so I don't relax or come back or walk around until the early evening anyway.
I didn't get back in the room until about 5 this evening.

Today was the "big day"...and I woke up late! I don't have an alarm clock, so I was relying on my roommate's...and I don't think it went off. Anyway, waking up late wasn't really a problem because I had already showered and just needed to wash off and throw on some makeup for once and try and look presentable and professional.
It really was a big day because I had to take the tube and the train all by myself. No help. Just me, all alone, in Londontown.
It was quite fun, actually. I only really feel completely lost and homesick when I'm in my little bland room. But on the trip, I was more focused on how the place was going to be, what the people would be like, if I'd be able to find it, and if I'd make it on time.

What sucks is I have to pay for everything over here. Even though my train trips will be reimbursed (I basically will have to travel about an hour or more 4 days a week to get to the internship), it still majorly sucks because I am majorly broke. What can ya do, though? I don't think I'll have much time to think about it. Even though it's only the third day...it's the third day already! I mean, wasn't I just talking about going...and now I'm here.

The interview went pretty well. The guy, Rod Bradbury, is in the news room...or should I say cubicle...or should I say area of tables/desk lined up in one room. It's pretty tiny in there, and you can see everyone else doing their business and hear them on the phones and whatnot.
I wasn't there long, but we talked about what I'd be doing (I think...I still couldn't really tell you).
They get their news reports from Sky News, something on the "telly" (hehe) and online. It seems like its all made up for them, except for the local stories. Rod wants me to sit with some of the presenters (DJs) because that's what really interests me. And he had me do a little bit of reading and recording myself...told me I have a good voice....hope he meant it.

At any rate, it seems like it'll be fun. Monday-Thursday, 10-4, three day weekends, casual dress. Looks like I didn't really need business clothes after all...but it's nice to have a fancy frilly shirt for special occasions.

Tonight we're going to a play...The 39 Steps I believe? The school bought us tickets so it should be fun...something to do, since I won't be watching Lost. Then again, I'll be in the theater at 8 and you guys will be enjoying 3 PM! Lost won't even be on anyway. Maybe I won't even ever get to watch it...but I shouldn't be dillydallying on the computer much anyway....I'm in LONDON!

I still don't feel like it, but since I'm free all tomorrow night and all during the weekend...I plan on going to Westminster (or whatever) to finally see Parliament and Big Ben and the better-known parts of the city...and take pictures for all of you guys to see!

I do miss you all so much and think about you a lot. Sometimes I wish I had a companion here...it really would've been nice to apply with someone and be here with someone...but I had to be secretive. This is probably best for me anyway...its been an interesting battle and a good detox. I can't lie, I'm very homesick. I'm so half and half. One second I'm relieved, the next it pops back. But it's more a feeling in my head, and not so much an emotional thing. I haven't cried about it since the first day, so that's good. I guess it just takes a while to settle in.

Well...that's all for now. I plan on taking pictures of the neighborhood and all sorts of good things, like where I'll be interning, as soon as possible. It was a gorgeous morning, but now it's raining. Surprise, surprise. They say London weather is unpredictable...but you can usually predict the rain I suppose.

Love you all...I'll have pictures soon!!!!
