My business major requires me to have two internships before I graduate. I am fulfilling course requirements being here. On the weekends once I have finished all my internship hours and class hours if I have time I explore Europe. Because this is probably the only time I will be in Europe so close to all this history and crazy sights. I have been to Oktoberfest, Dublin, upper Scotland (fantastic scenery), and London so far. This weekend I will be Barcelona in warm weather! Not this cold, rainy, and windy Edinburgh weather. All this traveling has made me appreciate the city I live in so much more. Every time I come back I am just so happy to see the streets of Edinburgh, and the castle in all its glory. I am really grateful for this experience and love being here exploring everything. My internship has been frustrating at times because there are times when I feel like its a good experience and that I am learning a lot. Other times I just feel like they are using me for my 'cheap' labour. The office assistant at work is a young girl that makes my internship so worth going in when I just don't feel like going into work. She is always cheerful and can make me smile when filing gets to much for me to handle. Tfish told me the other day that I needed to come back to America immediately because I am now adding 'u' where that letter just doesn't belong. For example, 'neighbour', 'flavour', 'colour'. I also use words such as "skive", "mingen", "cupa" and sometimes take my tea "white with a fussy half. I also use the phrase "half six" for time meaning six thirty. I know that some phrases coming back to the States won't be transferrable and I will have to remember people don't 'speak my language' for a little bit while I adjust back to "Amurika". Keeping up with the news back home is hard to do but I try to open the newspaper website from home and check at least once every couple of days. I can't wait for Sean to call me sometime this week so that we can plan out what we will do when he gets here in 28 days!!!!
Stay Classy, America!
