That one last post

Image
So the internship has officially came to an end. The last two months have practically flown by, I have gotten to know so many amazing people and so many lovely things have happened to me here. I will be flying back to Finland tomorrow ,  and I wanted to make the last post about what has happened in the last few weeks. My normal weekdays have been quite uneventful recently, but the weekends have been busier. I had a free weekend before I had more friends visiting me, so I spent the weekend with a friend in Eastbourne. I took a train from Victoria, and gladly I did not have to change a train since it went straight to where I was heading. My friend has been living in England since she was 9 years old, so she knew the area and was able to tell some nice bits of history here and there. I was also overjoyed when she asked me to do some modeling for her. It was amazing to walk the streets, just enjoying the sunny but windy weather and finding good locations for photographing. Eastbourne...

Ooooooo we're half way there...

Time has really flown by, I could almost call this the half way point. Things have been more or less uneventful apart from another friend of mine being here, so I will make the post mostly about that. A week and a half ago my friend arrived here and as I had to work, she went to explore London on her own at first. After we met with one of my teachers and another intern from my school, just to catch up with how things have been here. A couple days later the teacher came to my workplace and we went through the necessary paperwork. It did help me a great deal, now I know what I need to fill in! My friend did not mind the slightest that she had so much time on her own. Friday came fairly quick and that evening we walked up and down Oxford Street, seeing if we could find any clothing or shoes. Nothing actually came up so we made a plan to visit the enormous Victoria's Secret shop. Even if we did not buy anything, the store was made to look very posh and was worth seeing regardless. ...

There is no place like London~

Time for an update! It has been a really busy few weeks, starting my internship has gone well and being in London has been pretty amazing all in all. Looking for a place to stay has not been easy, and that is something I actually mentally prepared for. When I first got to London, I had one dear friend with me for first couple of days. It was like a mini-vacation before the internship actually started and my friend also came to some apartment viewings with me. She really helped with taking the edge off of actually moving to London for couple of months, and we did some sightseeing as a tourist should~ Standing in the park in front of Big Ben and the House of Parliament, there were many flowers/cards/other memorial objects placed to the front part of the park to honor the victims of the previous weeks attack. There it is~ So the internship started a few weeks ago. It was a big change to suddenly start talking in english in a professional environment, But getting more flue...

A couple more days to go

So it's finally time for the first post! Handling a blog is a first for me and we shall see how well it actually goes. The flights to London will be in two days and I am more than happy that one of my dearest friends will be joining me for the first few days. I have been so busy trying to get everything necessary done before the due day, and arranging meet ups with friends since I won't be seeing them for such a long time. Moving to London has always been a dream of mine, and now that it is actually happening, even for a few months, is just amazing! I will be working as an intern at ASA Tours, and I can already tell that the workplace will be such a positive experience. Now I will return to apartment hunting and packing, time flies so quickly when you are in a hurry, not that I am complaining the least. Next time the update will be from London, can't wait to see how the first weeks will be like!
