Hey dudes,
I can't believe there was such demand for my blog!
It's been busy up here in Boston. Here is a pics from my computers class where we learned a thing or two about Photoshop. This is what $40,000 per year affords at BU. Enjoy.
I have erased all London shots to start anew for my Boston Pics.

Finally the pics are up! Go to the link for my pics and click on the folder called "august visit. " There, you will see pics of Bournemouth and of James' family the day we went to Greenwich.

So my picture site is down for a while, so I will post my pics as soon as I can. I have to start packing for school because I'll be off to Boston before you know it!

Hey all,
I start my journey home tomorrow early in the morning and arrive at JFK around 3:40pm. These past days have been spent clubbing, dining, shopping, and lounging around town. Just when I feel I am getting back into the swing of things, it is time to go home. But I look forward to lots of rest at home before going back to school.

This Friday, James' mom and 2 brothers came to London for the day. We met up at Greenwich and had a full day of riding a boat on the Thames, seeing the Maritime Museum Tin Tin exhibit, seeing the Royal Observatory, and then going out for some Chinese food in China town.

See you all soon.

So day 2 at Bournemouth brought much ice-cream, sunning, and lounging. The day turned sunny so we took a blanket on the beach. James read, I slept- the story of our lives. We bought cheap shovels and buckets and made sandcastles. I have pics of the finished products to download when I get home. Last night we went out for Morrocan food. It was my first time having it and it was quite yummy. I had chicken in honey sauce mixed with raisins and almonds. So good! We've been spending like fools but hey, it's vacation. Tonight when we return to London we are going to go straight back out and go clubbing at Candybox. Yay!

Bournemouth is very nice. Unfortunately, it is quite rainy and overcast but the sea shore is lively with ice-cream stands and such. James and I went mini golfing last night then had a great Italian meal. I think we are planning on having fish and chips today for lunch. This morning we a got a complimentary full English breakfast which was excellent. Well I hope the sun decides to come out so we can tan on the beach at some point!

Hey gang,
Tomorrow I am off to Bournemouth, which is on the Southern coast of England. I won't have blog access for a few days, so hang in there!

So last night we had some good curry dishes on Brick Lane. This street is great because it is lined with waiters that stand outside and throw offers at pedestrians to get them to come in and eat at their place. We managed to get free papadum, a free round of drinks, and 10% off our bill. It was such a good meal. Then we went to a funky bar where they sell ecclectic drinks. Today, we will try to go to a market. Then tonight we are meeting up with friends and watching the open air screening of "Metropolis" on the bank of the Thames. Hopefully, we can pack a picnic basket and have dinner outside as we watch the movie. Hmm that is all for now!

My first meal here was fish and chips. Yay! So here is day 2. I just got up and I am planning on going to Oxford street and maybe hanging out in a park later. Tonight we are going to Brick Lane for Indian food then out clubbing finally! We hope to see a cricket match tomorrow, too.

Hi all! I am alive and well!
Air India was an interesting time. I had a good lamb dish for my in flight meal. I sat next to an adorable old Indian guy who was very nice. It is so good to be back! I got in 2 hours late and James was there to pick me up. I have actually been quite jet lagged so I've slept until now (surprise surprise) but now we are going to get some grub. Unfortunately there will be no pics until I get back, but you guys can wait.

It is awesome to come back and just know how to get around already. Very different from my first experience. OK, that is all. Time for some grub.

Hey dudes! I back off to England! Stay tuned in for more happenings!

Hey all!
Boston was great! It did my heart some good to be back with my Boston friends and to be back in Beantown. I am so happy that I will be returning there for another last school year! Being 21 in Boston seems to make it a whole new city. My friends and I went to some great pubs and bars on Friday night and then we went to a Rock and Roll Dance club which was actually quite comparable to the ones in London. I even met my BU friends that went to London with me and we danced all night. On Sunday I went around Harvard Square and did some shopping. I got a nice dress at Filene's basement for $60 down from 236!

Sometimes I would look around and momentarily think I was back in London...

Hey dudes,
Good seeing you all on this past weekend. I am going to Boston this weekend to hang out with friends on the BU campus. I am carpooling with one of the interns and it will be good to go back. Yay for 4 day weeks!

Hi all!
I am home for the weekend!
Farenheit 9/11 was a great film and I highly recommend it to all who need a good chuckle and an eyefull of reality regarding politics, troops, etc.

I Blast off on August 11th and arrive the morning of the 12th.

Here is an amusing comic thing called Rocks, Paper, Saddam:

Hmmm. Other than that, no big news. Still working for the man...

Hey Bloggers! Didn't realize my blog was still in demand! Well, we had a really big presentation on Friday to the executive director of public relations for GE in which I spent 12 hours at work preparing for it the previous day. 8am-8pm! This is intense!
Apparently my tickets to London have arrived in the mail and I am looking forward to a week of curry, digestives and clotted cream!

Currently I am reading "Dude where's my country" by Michael Moore. I can't wait to see Farenheit 9/11. Well that's all for now.

So I am still being beaten down from my job, but it is really interesting and cool stuff that I am doing. I was revising a speech for Jeff Immelt himself and I was in on a branding launch with our Chief Marketing Officer Beth Comstock. These are geeky GE icons that all the interns idolize.
I have started planning my trip back to London already. I think I will take Air India which is $200 less than British Airways. One perk is that they serve Indian food as an on flight meal! Yummm. Counting down to my return to the UK...

Hello to those few who still check in on this blog every once in a while! I have started at GE and it looks like this will be the most intense summer yet. I am working in the Fairfield office and I am working under some high profile people. The other day I was revising a speech for CEO Jeff Immelt!

No new pics as of yet. I am renting a car for the summer. It's a Mazda Protege and is a nice ride. Looks like I will be putting in about 50 hours a week. I come home, eat, and go to sleep. A little too much reality for me after last semester. Blog you later!

Thanks for all those who have given me your well wishes and support. There are finally pics of my poor car and some pics of abigail at a carnival. See the wreck! I am lucky to be alive!
