i have decided to start cooking.
i know. frightening.
sunday night we bought chicken breast cut into cubes and came home and marinated them in olive oil and mixed herbs. jen cooked the chicken and i sauteed fresh bell peppers and onions in butter. i also made basmati rice. yum ! amazing chicken with fresh veggies over rice. great dinner!
monday i got my hair cut ! and the girl who cut my hair, Lindsey, was from Canada and gave me some great tips on places to go out. she was so much fun.
then we had some lecture on british class system came back made pasta for dinner then went to our night class. we had a great guest speaker from the press complaints commission. he was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to and gave us great examples.
stopped by a pub and just chit-chatted for a while. came home and prepared for my interview this morning.
i had the most difficult interview i have ever had this morning at MSN.
i sat in with the editor in chief and the head of the money/travel/tech department.
they asked really challenging questions.
still havent heard if i got the internship or not.
if i do it will be the most challenging, most rewarding summer internship ever.
also the building MSN is in is fantastic and super modern. and there is great shopping and a bunch of cute cafes and restaurants and bars close by.
after that i came home and passed out for a while. then my roommates and danna and i walked to kensington palace in the pouring rain in our dresses with no umbrella.
we get there and see a helicopter flying and one of the guards told us it was Prince William and/or Prince Harry in the helicopter and it was landing on the estate. it was quite cool. we did not see them in person though
we did high tea at The Orangery at Kensington Palace. i had cinnamon spice english breakfast tea and a fruit scone with clotted cream (butter?) and fresh jam. it was sooo great.
we were all quite soaked- but the tea was warm and atmosphere amazing.
now im just getting ready to make shrimp in white wine/garlic sauce over fresh pasta with peas and grated parm. yum !!!
(i got 10 fresh shrimp for only 1.89 pounds!!!)
so i am excited about that !!!
tomorrow we are touring parliament and the BBC before our last weeknight of freedom.
(we are supposed to start our internships on thursday) but i still dont know if i will start thursday with the rest of them or not because i havent heard back the company yet. (no one has who interviewed with MSN though so who knows ...)
crossing my fingers !
