It has been so hot and lovely here the past few days so my flat mates and I decided to go on our open bus tour around London. It was jolly good fun. ENJOY:
CHEERS,

it’s 6,000 degrees kelvin outside in London right now
My internship went really well this week – it scared the shit out of me everyday, like, I wanted to puke every.single.day. But isn’t that exactly what I came here for?? I tried to sneak some snapshots of what my office surroundings look like…but, I didn’t capture too many good ones – I will try again next week.
Anywho, here is what I have been up to this last week:
Veggin out in my room listening to tunes:
Eating nutella toast for breakie:
Wearing smart/casual outfits and sock buns: 
Growing out my mustache: 
Eating lunch with this lady: 
and stopping to smell the roses, obv. 
I LOVE YOU,

My first sighting of Big Ben happened on Saturday when I was out wandering. 
I proceeded to walk around in search of a better view – here is my view from the Embankment Bridge: 
Walking by the Thames: 
And finally here he is!: 
I have enjoyed venturing off on my own and must admit I feel rather proud of myself for not getting super lost.
CHEERS,

First day of our British Life and Culture class! We went on a field trip to the Imperial War Museum. It was splendid: 
Then we found this and were super happy:
Then we went to the Swiss Cottage Pub:
Then we got on a bus and went the wrong direction for too long and had a lengthy tube ride home. But, it was okay – we got to see the overground London for a bit vs. the underground. QUITE LOVELY.
Tonight we played cards and walked around Oxford Street. Very good day indeed.
Cheers,

My commute:
I am now going to post pictures and show the journey to and from my internship:
Walking to the Marble Arch underground
Taking the escalator down into the (ch)tunnel 
Going on the Central line east to Chancery Lane
Looking right and then left 
The building my internship is in 
Waiting in the lovely reception area 
Taking a trip to the loo 
By mid-afternoon I was up to my eyeballs in new tasks to try and master – which I really quite enjoyed. Admittedly, I am still really nervous about royally messing something up.
Here is my view from the train there and back
After I got home, I met my flat mates at the Duke (which is becoming a staple hangout) and then we eventually went to Windsor Castle – which has a handlebar club that I SO wish Connor was here to attend on one Friday while I am here 
Then I came home and found Mads in an equally hilarious position as when I found her with her sammich 
THIS DAY WAS KICKASS.
Ta,
