I love this city and its people (not the tourists so much), I truly love the culture, and the art is amazing! However, I'm ready to come home, I'm ready to drive my truck, no more of this underground sweaty-ness. No more roommates! And a real bed! No more bunk beds!! (yes, that deserves two exclamation points) Just sitting here listening to my roommates talk about getting absolutely "sloppy" wasted drunk on Wednesday night makes me sick, there are so many more important things to do in London than get pissed drunk. What's worse is when they ask me what I did today, I am usually met with "Oh, I haven't done that yet," or,"I still need to do that," (we only have 5 days left) but yet all they want to do is go out to the same clubs... seems like a waste to me. Going out in London, is just like going out in America.
Anyway, enough about that. I'm working on my thank you card for my internship site. They have been great. I haven't really learned much in the technical field of design, but have learned an immense amount international design and British culture. I really don't want to leave this experience. I feel like I'm just getting into it. The projects they are working on are amazing. Huge clients—Harrods! It's just great and the atmosphere in the design space is positive and you can really feel they love what they are doing. They are all really intelligent too. Really intellectual conversations about foreign affairs and the British economy and government happen daily. I usually listen quietly and nod along, pretty much just absorbing what they are saying.
I hope I have helped out with the work I've been doing and have added to their productivity a bit. I also really appreciate them taking a chance on me. I was the first CAPA intern they have taken on and I hope I have lived up to their expectations.
