Carz...

this is where i work http://cars.uk.msn.com

yes. i work at MSN.

yes. i work in the Cars department.

its actually pretty cool... despite the fact that i have almost no knowledge about the subject.

i am trying though- and i have a lot of work and i have done so much so far!

i am actually doing hands on work and my name has already been put up on a site !!!

i also get to spend 4 days at the British Motor Show (http://cars.uk.msn.com/britishmotorshow2008)

monday i just went to work- there are 4 other people from mizzou who are working there with me - so it is nice having the company ! we got cool name badges- the security is super tight there- you need a pass to get in and out of every single door there. its crazy.

we ate lunch in the little cafe downstairs and it was really good- and importantly cheap!

anyways i had lots to do on monday then got off work a bit early to go off to go to class.

we had some guest speaker then i came back to my flat where chris and steve were hanging out!

we went on a walk for a bit and met up with some MU kids and stopped by the pub across the street for a bit. then we came back and watched a movie and fell asleep.

said goodbye to the boys this morning.... it was extremely nice having them here. i had a great time with them and i hope they enjoyed London as well!

just worked today. Carl and i ate lunch at a cafe outside and it was beautiful.

my computer froze and i had to restart it right before saving my 1st finished article design.

it was extremely frustrating- but hey- i learned a lot.

i also got added to the "tall wall" today. its a white board wall with ideas and such- but on one side it has everyones height- and i was added today... apparently its a rite of passage. (i felt really cool- im not going to lie)

came back and booked final travel with jen!

all we need to do is book 2 trains next week and i need to get my time off work approved to book another trip and then all the booking (and paying) is over... other than that it is all sorted out which quite relaxing.

just chilling before going off to bed before another day looking at cars all day!

i have MSN messenger kaylinrae@live.com (which is also my work email address) which i use at work all the time. so download MSN messenger and we can chat!

i am very happy that i am enjoying my internship. there are so many opportunities presented to me even so far that i feel like i will learn so much. and all of my co-workers are extremely nice and helpful- which is always a plus.

also: i got the most AMAZING care package from my family ever. my brother sent me an incredible drawing of a mother golden retriever and a puppy (possibly our family's new puppy!) and my sister wrote me a beautiful note on a handmade card. and my mom and dad wrote me fabulous notes and gave me the best present ever-- kraft mac and cheese, peter pan peanut butter, trader joes australian soft licorice, packs of nuts and dried berries (good snacks at work!) and all kinds of other fabulously american items that i have been craving!!!!

thank you sooo much!
