Pretty good day with the flatmates once again. I slept in and worked on my internship journal. We're still not quite sure what were supposed to be writing in them (the directions they gave us back in may were very confusing) so I'm just winging it while we wait to hear back from UR. I'm not quite sure that I'll have that much to write in it some of the time. I mean there is only so much you can write about maps but I'll figure it out. After lunch Ellie, Dawn an...

Great day again. I had my internship interview. It went quite well. My supervisor Felicity, is the curator of the 'museum'. I use that word carefully because it is not really a museum. It is more of an organisation that has a lot of artefacts, paintings, texts and maps but no real showroom for these items. They do have a library which people can come use but other than that, the pieces are usually loaned to other organisations for shows. My hours are easy: 10:30-...

First time out in the rain (although it was very light when I was out in it). Went for a lovely run in Regents Park again this morning. I found another new area, which is bound to happen because it's massive and I've only gone through about half of it. I haven't even found the zoo yet. I ran through Queen Mary's gardens. It is beautiful. There is a waterfall, streams, black and white swans, rose gardens, tropical trees and cacti. It was quite splendid. I think I'...

Long but great day. First real day with responsibilities. Got up and went to NYU with Dawn to get acquainted with the building and get some things fixed. We wandered around and found the computer/printing lab as well a the study lounge. After that we went to Blackwell's (bookshop) so I could return some books and get others that I should have bought the other day at the book sale. At the end of all of that I had gained back £6.71 even though one of the books I...

I had a lovely relaxing day today. Ellie, Dawn and I went to IKEA in Wembley. There was a free shuttle from the tube station, which made things much easier for us. It was Ellie's first time at an IKEA - she loved it. It was hard to decide what to buy. There were some things that we could really use (desks, more dishes etc.) but we didn't buy because we wouldn't be able to take it back with us at the end. I did get a muffin pan (which I will take back if I have en...
