sorry! I've been busy and forgot to update!
Work has been work, random amounts of interesting material mixed with mundane whatever stuff. Regardless of interest, it's all valuable experience.
The fun stuff, of course, has been touristing on the weekends.
So I spent a weekend in Kent. One one day I met up with a co-worker who lives out in Rochester and she drove me around there, as well as took me to Leeds Castle (WOW!!!) and dropped me in Canterbury to visit that myself. So yes, Leeds was beautifully situated, so cool! Canterbury has always been on my lists of places to visit. I think that had I not been to so many of the worlds amazing cathedrals this year I would have been more impressed but alas. I was definitely able to put myself into the 'wow cool' headspace, but it wasn't as awe-inspiring as others have been. It was cool to see where Beckett was taken-out, as well as the tombs of HenryIV and the Black Prince.
I have also been down to Dover Castle now - another dream of mine to see. It was so awesome to be back at the sea, I didn't realize how much I missed the salty air. I spent the entire day in the castle, exploring tunnels and keeps and climbing mounds, all very cool stuff!
This past week had more interesting stuff to report on as I went to two shows! I met up with my old friend Lars and we went to see Avenue Q, and then later in the week I went to see Pricilla, Queen of the Desert (look them both up online if you are interested).
Friday night some co-workers and I went out for some drinks - it was so strange to be at a bar and seeing people in suits dancing around.. such a different scene to home (I think, I don't really get out much)...
This past weekend I was closer to home. On Saturday I met up with Lars again and went to the Tower of London. I'd been before but he hadn't, so we totally explored all over. It was a nice day. That night I went to a party one of the lawyers at work was hosting... such a different kind of house party, and those who know my lack of small talking abilities would have been proud of me!!
Yesterday I journeyed out to Brighton, a big beach party town. I'm glad I've been but I doubt I'll go back. The coolest thing was the Brighton Pavillion - google it.
So now I continue on getting experience and trying to be a tourist. My little cousin Perdi shows up for a few nights tomorrow so that should be loads of fun. I'll try update again soon!!
