We basically talked about what I wanted to do for an internship. I told the guy that I really wanted to do some production for documentaries, like something on the History Channel. My second and third choices were fiction sitcoms, and non-fiction programs. I felt really good about the initial meeting though. He told me that I had an impressive resume and that I should be able to get my first choice with an internship. <br /><br />Today we had the usual lectures that you get during an orientation. Be careful when you go out, don't drink too much and drink too little. We actually had a British Bobbie (that's a police officer) come in to talk to us. His name was Spike and he was hilarious. He begins, "First off it's you that has the accent not us, Second I am not cute." Everyone was laughing because their accent is so funny and when you see a cute man speaking it just makes you smile. Some of us are still getting over the jet lag:<br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/5391/orientation16dc.jpg" border="0" width="320" alt="Jet Lagged Sweeties" /></a><br /><br />Tomorrow we have cultural lectures on Britain all day. It's not going to be pretty. There will be a lot of coffee drinking before and during the lectures so I can stay awake. Also I might bring my B 12 pills with me.<br /><br />I signed up for some of the social programs that BU offers. I signed up for the daytrips to Stonehenge and Salisbury and then the other one to Bath and Avebury. Also I am going to see History Boys and The Producers in the theatre district. Those things should be a good time. Now we are working on figuring out our other weekend trips around Europe and our week long escapade for Spring Break '06.<br /><br />In the middle of writing this update the fire alarm went off. We figured that it was just another drill because it took us so long to get out during the drill the other day. Well it turns out that the boys upstairs tried to cook: BIG MISTAKE. After trying to get a hold of an RA or anyone from BU someone decided to call the emergency number 999, (the equivalent to our 911) and they sent over two fire trucks. The best part was that the fire trucks were Mercedes. The English really know how to do it. After a long process they couldn't shut off the alarm so we all went back inside and found the keys for the fire box and shut it off ourselves. Lexham Gardens is going wild and its all because we don't have an RA.<br /><br />Cheers!<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br> posted @ 7:58 PM </p> </div> <div style="position:absolute; top:143; left:0; width:123; overflow:auto; height:%; padding:0px;"> <center> <p class=head>CONTACT ME</p> <p align=justify><p align=center><a href="mailto:ndamstetter@gmail.com">Email ME</a> <br> <a href="aim:goim?screenname=Cinderellie5">Send Me an IM</a><br> Skype: Cinderellie5 <br></p> <p class=head>LINKS</p> <a href="http://www.skype.com">Skype</a><br> <a href="http://ndamstetter.shutterfly.com/action/">Europe Pictures</a><br> <a href="http://cinderellie5.shutterfly.com/action/">Other Pictures</a><br> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cinderellie5">My Space</a><br> <p class=head>ARCHIVES</p> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2005/12/'>December 2005</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/01/'>January 2006</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/02/'>February 2006</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/03/'>March 2006</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/04/'>April 2006</a> <br> <br><br> <p class=head>CHEERS</p> <p align=center>The World's A Roller Coaster And I Am Not Strapped In.</p> </div> <div style="position:absolute; right:25px; top:90px; width:200px; overflow:auto; height:%; padding:0px;"> <center> <p class=head>PICTURES OF THE WEEK</p> <p align=center<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/269/morocco0431oa.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Riding Camels" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/688/morocco1257sn.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="My Postcard Photo Taking" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/3349/morocco0780cl.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="The Ramparts" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2069/morocco0997rh.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Orange Trees Everywhere" /></a> <p class=head>INTERESTING FACTS</p> <p align=center>The most popular route on the tube for tourists is Leicester Square to Covent Garden on the Piccadilly line. It is quicker to walk this distance than travel on the tube. <br></p> More than 51 million visits are made to London libraries every year. They lend 42 million books and over 7.6 million CDs, cassettes and videos. <br Londoners produce the smallest amount of household waste per person and the lowest CO2 emissions per person, compared with people living in other regions of the UK. <br> <p class=head>MY FLATMATES' BLOGS </p> <p align=center><a href="http://jennygrant.blogspot.com">Jenny's Blog</a><br> <a href="http://anaisabroadlondon2006.blogspot.com">Anais' Blog</a><br> <a href="http://dumdiddydum12.blogspot.com/">Samia's Blog</a><br> <p class=head>PREVIOUS PICTURES</p> <p align=center><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/417/walkingaroundthecity0060tm.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="I've Always Had The Gift To Gab" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5403/boattrip0207ri.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="The Famous Sight" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7278/boattrip0729ak.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Tower Bridge" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7520/boattrip0575bx.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="London Bridge, It's Not Falling Down" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4192/walkingaroundthecity0441ip.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Westminster Abbey" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/5692/anaisboattripandwalking128smal.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Supermodels in Training" /></a><br> <a href="http://ndamstetter.shutterfly.com"><img src="http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/8835/s0012gn.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="St. Paul's (Not Named for Paul Damstetter)" /></a><br> <a href="http://ndamstetter.shutterfly.com"><img src="http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/3563/s0088pa.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="The View From The Top" /></a><br> <a href="http://ndamstetter.shutterfly.com"><img src="http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/8/s0345rl.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="It Was Wicked Windy" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/4254/stonehengeandsalisbury0129bk.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Stonehenge Rocks" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8779/stonehengeandsalisbury0151fl.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="I Think It Was An Early Disco" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/3272/stonehengeandsalisbury0434ry.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Salisbury Cathedral" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/8468/stonehengeandsalisbury1044bc.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Open Up The Gates Of The Church And Let Me Out of Here" /></a> </p> </body></html>
