It's been days since I've properly updated, and I'm sorry for that. As a reward for putting up with me I'll go to Parliament tomorrow and take lots of pictures. Just for you. 

Back to the past few days:

Thursday was the first day of my internship and i absolutely LOVE it. Today I was briefly introduced to everyone, and told that I would be helping on a small production for the London Dungeons. It was for the Jack the Ripper segment, so it involved lots of fake blood and pig organs. Once that was done I helped to pack up fo r a premiere that everyone was going to. 

A bit of background about this:

The film was called "I, Superbiker" and was created by the person who runs The 400 Company, Mark. This was a press premiere, and it ended up being that I was the one interviewing for the 400. I'm still not sure how that came about, but it was amazing. People that I got to interview include: James Ellison, Gary Mason and Tommy Hill, all of whom the film was about, and David Vanian of The Damned and Paul Cook from The Sex Pistols. 

I did mention this was my first day right? The film was great, the people were great, and it was all around awesome. 

The next day at my internship mostly involved looking through all of the things in the office. Among what seems like hundreds of other things there's an original God Save the Queen poster, drumsticks signed by Paul Cook, and all of Pauls original copies of The Sex Pistol records because he "don't got a record player anymore". I was sent home with a copy of one of The Damned's CD's from Christian to burn. Christian is a whole nother thing of amazement. We'll talk about that some other time though. 

The weekend was fairly dull. We went to Oxford Street and back to Portobello Market. Ran into one of my internship bosses that I don't really know, which was awkward, and now we're all going to bed. 

Check out the 4 or so new pictures in 1/23 and 1/24 and come back tomorrow for better updates. 

Goodnight,

This morning at 7:30am I woke up and got ready to go to my internship interview. Out of the place by 8:30, I had plenty of time to get there by 10am. Only to find out they wanted me back at noon. So after wandering around for 2 hours (I now know that area better than where I live) I went back, met Ashley (a man) and was told I had the job. No questions, just instructions on my tasks. I'll be editing music videos if I can learn Avid soon enough, and I'll be working on productions for their TV channel. They said that they'll do their best to get me into the production side of things so that's exciting. 

I'm back at home now learning about everyone else's  experience on their interviews. One person got a job offer for after their placement already at a photography company, it sounds amazing but she's a junior so I'm not sure if she's going to be able to do it. 

Tonight we're going to the theatre. I'm going to see a play called 'Blood Brothers', apparently it's a musical. Some of the other area going to see 'The 39 Steps' which is based off a Hitchcock movie and is a comedy. We weren't given choices in what to see, or who to sit next to, so we'll probably be next to strangers for the show. 

This week is going to be spent learning to use Avid and getting ready for my internship. I have a bunch of readings for class this week that I'm going to try and get out of the way tonight/tomorrow, and then Sunday I'm off to East Croydon to meet Kayleigh and Louise and they're taking me to Brighton. Should be an amazing day. 

I'm off now,
