Hello again everybody. The past two days have been a mix of busy and not-so-busy. Wednesday, since I didn't have an Internship, I slept in super late (it felt really good though! And now I'm feeling much better). But I also got things done such as shopping for art supplies, picking up a new phone charger (the one they gave me was broken) and checking out the neighborhood shops to see where I can pick up supplies.
Not to mention it snowed all day Wednesday! It was very pretty, especially out by our housing in Camden. Unfortunately the snow melted and then froze on the sidewalks - no salt or sand here! - so it was treacherous even to walk one block. Today the ice was even worse... we were slipping and sliding our way to the bus stop. Even the side roads were covered in a thick sheet of black ice. However, the main roads were clear so we made it to class on time. So many people were slipping and falling today, though!
We have two new flat mates this week. One is Becca, a junior Apparel Design major from Wisconsin. The other is Frankie, a degree student who is filling her third term here. She's the only person who lived in the room before this term - but mostly hangs out with the boys across the hall because they all know each other from before. We took Becca out to dinner last night because she hadn't gone grocery shopping yet. There is a local and fairly good Greek restaurant close by that we went to, and they gave us a free bottle of wine!
Thursdays are my longest days of class. I have an internship class at 8:30am, a building codes class at 11:00, and a history of London architecture class at 2:00pm. Each class is over 2 hours long - making Thursday one loooong day. Especially since today both my Building Codes and London Architecture courses had walking field trips. I probably walked about seven miles today all around the lesser known areas of the city. I am cold and tired!
Good news: I have a new internship interview scheduled for tomorrow. Bad news: it's not hotel design. Unfortunately there are no hotel design internships available right now, so it looks like I'll be interning at a high end residential firm. Too bad that's not really the profession I want to get into after I graduate. The KCA internship that I wasn't able to do would have really looked good on my resume and given me much more vital professional experience. Oh well - any experience will be helpful I suppose!
I'll let you all know how the interview goes tomorrow. Jennas are going to bed early!
