first few days

Figured I should try be more on top of my blog this year, so here's my first go at it!

First few days have been pretty low key. Weather has been typical London stuff - grim, grey and wet. I look forward to some sunny days in the future, but right now it feels like the damp has just set in!

I did manage to stay awake upon arrival until 9:30pm, and followed that with a 12 hour sleep, which is crazy impressive for me! Yesterday I was a bit of a tourist, in a 'local' kind of way. First I went shopping on Oxford Street (hehehe) and bought a new mobile, some suit pants, and a few other household items only found on that street. I then went to the Tate Britain - I hadn't been in years and I must say I was very impressed. I'd recommend it for sure, if you get a few tube stops out of the 'main' tourist circle.

Today was my first day of work. Now, here's some googling for you - I'm at 4 Carlton Gardens. Look it up. You'll notice that I'm a stones throw from Buckingham Palace... on the Mall, across from St. James Park. It's CRAZY!!! From my office window I can see the Palace to my right, and straight ahead I can see Parliament (Big Ben) and Westminster Abbey, along with all sorts of other London sites... the only downer of it all is that I have to share my office with 8 other interns LOL!!!!!!  And, oh shucks, I have to walk through Trafalgar Square to get to my tube station (Charring Cross), or alternatively go up to Piccadilly Circus....

jealous yet? heheheheheh Don't worry, I'm totally appreciating every second of this!

Work itself hasn't been to strenuous so far. Not sure what's ahead, but right now I'm checking and finding citations for a text book one of the lawyers is writing. Kind of amusing seeing how often he is quoting himself from his other text books.... HA!

Anyway, that's all for now. Time for some microwave dinner and a look at the Tele... =P
