Internship

Hello Again!

I started my internship a few weeks ago and it has been crazy!

I am working at Wealth Briefing a news service for wealth managers. It is a great place to work. I am writing articles which is really great! While I don't know much about the industry I am learning a lot!

It is definitely different working in a British office. My office is very relaxed. At the end of the day we sometimes go across the street to the pub. It is a great way to get to know my co workers better!

Otherwise I still have a few classes going on, British Life and Cultures, Creative Writing, Internship Seminar. A bit of work but will keep me in practice for next semester back in De Pere.

Yesterday I went to Hampton court. Most famously one of the palaces of Henry the VIII. Very interesting to see the castle and the history behind it! The gardens were beautiful as the flowers are blooming!

Coming up for Easter weekend I will be traveling to Edinburgh Scotland. It will be fun to see a new part of the UK!

Parents and Paris

Ok catching up with my blog!

Guards at Tower of London



Over my spring break my parents came to London to visit me. It was great to see them again and to show them my new home away from home! We enjoyed taking in the sights and seeing a couple shows. We even stumbled upon the world premiere of Alice in Wonderland. I am convinced that we were there as Johnny Depp was walking the red carpet due to the loud cheers!
Notre Dame

We also took the chunnel to Paris. I was excited to go back to France and see the sights I saw my first time there. Our hotel was right across from the Louvre. My favorite spots of the city reminded the same; Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and Versailles. We had a mix of weather but overall it was good enough to enjoy our time in the city!




It was great to have my parents in town, a little taste of home!
