London Weekend One and Two

Hey people! Sorry it has taken me so long to write. It's been tough getting to a computer and getting logged in and such. Things are going well so far. I am learning the ropes of the job and meeting lots of new people. I am trying to remember all their names but hopefully I will figure it all out by next week. I have gone on meetings everyday this week so I am getting out of the buro on a daily basis so far. Just going for coffee or lunch. Today is another one which I am excited about. Kara is being really nice and walking me through everything. I will be on the computer more after she leaves on Friday.

The flight was AWESOME! Business class is really the way to go if you can afford a $4000 ticket! Haha! My seat laid completely flat and kinda turned into a bed. I was served 3 meals and I may have drank an entire bottle of wine myself!! It was really cool though and super nice. I watched Prime but fell asleep towards the end.

On the lame side: it was kinda like a movie when I had to leave Mat. I thought it would be alot easier than it ended up being. But I have talked to him everyday and he is really busy with the business and everything.

The city is really great. It's kinda like NYC which I really like. So I am walking to work everyday. It takes about an hour and 30 mins (if I don' get lots). So far, I have gotten lost everyday this week even though I have a map!! There is no direct way anywhere which is probably why everyone takes the tube. I take the tube home, cause it's dark by then, and I am in my flat in a little less than 30 mins. The tube is REALLY really easy and so quick. Much much easier than NYC.

Everyone has been really nice and helpful. There are always police everywhere and people cleaning the streets. They will always tell you where things are if you are lost. This weekend I am hoping to go out with a friend for St. Patty's day. Should be really interesting.
