So I guess quite a bit has happened in the past few days, so I'll try to just do the highlights. I started my internship on wednesday at the Witt Library in the Courtauld Institute of Art at the Somerset House. So far the people have been really nice but the work's kind of mundane but I'm thinking it'll get better as time goes on. I work a lot with these boxes that are sorted by artist and it pretty much catalogues the history of tons of artworks. The library is in the basement which is rather narrow so it's a bit of a maze and I've gotten lost a few times in there. I felt like such a little adult when I was walking home on Wednesday. The schedule is pretty nice, I work Monday through Thursday 10am-6pm, so I can definately handle it.
That's about all I can say for the internship so far, so on to other things. I've been having quite some fun this week. On Wednesday night at ISH there was a free Bollywood themed dinner so there was some tasty indian food and some entertainment and whatnot. Thursday I worked and then I went to Tesco (the grocer I go to) and I was really excited because I found peanut butter, which is kind of like finding gold. Then later that night I headed over to karaoke at the ISH bar. That's the busiest and usually most fun night there. It's always a good time to watch your friends sing cheesy fun songs.
Friday I worked again and after work I met up with Jon Marx (he was in my previous London group and he lives here now). We had dinner and went to Admiral Duncan which is a bar in Soho, it was a real good time. It was fun to see him, especially in London. Then I came back home then went to the ISH bar because there was a charity drag show. It was fun but not as much fun as I thought it would be, I missed the best part I think. I hung out there for a while then after a bit a group of us went to Koko in Camden. It's a cool music venue, it's an old theatre but with the seats taken out so there's just a giant area. Every Friday there they have a few small bands play so we saw them and then there was a DJ after them. I'm going to see at least 2 concerts at Koko so I'm pretty excited about that.
Yesterday I woke up kind of late and slowly got ready then a few of us went to a cheap asian buffet for lunch then I split and walked around the city. I had bought at cd to a band I'm planning to see (The Kills) and listened to them as I walked around. I made my way to Oxford St but it was way to busy to try to shop so I wandered down smaller streets into Soho and went to Covent Garden and got a cookie from Ben's Cookies (the best cookie in the world) and wandered to Trafalgar Square then made my way back home. Then I went to dinner and came back then figured out my plans for the night. I was going to go to a club that was having inflateable Twister and other fun stuff like that but decided against spending even more money so I went with the ISHbar and had cheap drinks and a lot of fun. There was a good size group of people from the group who went to the bar so that was fun just hanging out with them. Then instead of walking back to my building by myself a few of us had a sleepover at the girl's room who live in that building.
This morning we woke up ate a little breakfast then went to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard. It was alright, but rather anti-climactic. Then most of the people went inside the Palace since today was the last day it was open then another girl, Emma, and I walked back home. On the way we stopped by Speaker's Corner, that was a fun. There was a good amount of crazies talking but one was especially funny since there was a lot of people talking and arguing with him. After that we came home and I just cleaned up a little since my area of the room was a total mess since I just throw my stuff down when I get home and haven't had time to clean up after myself. Then I did a little laundry and and doing fun things like posting pictures and updating this bad boy.

Gosh, Katy, I'm so sad for you that your life is so uneventful! WHEW - you exhaust even me! Glad you're having a blast and the job will get more interesting ... all jobs start out slow and then sometimes you are longing for the slow boring days! xxxooo
KATY!!!!!!! Wish you could have magically appeared for CC&TWS. . AMAZING!!! you'd be so proud of your mom. . not only did she stay for the WHOLE thing. but she buddied up to cory's mom. Way to go I say! Get us on the inside of this phenomenon Sharon! It was great, wish you could have been there we had the BEST seats in the house. really. cuz we stood on our chairs in the back and we could see EVERYTHING. no one behind us could see anyways. so boo to them. Well hope is all going good there. Hey maybe you can do some marketing over there and get CC&WS to play in some huge venue or something. Work on that. Much Love, Kim
