Ticking clock, Everyone stop

7/14/2009

Going to bed so I can wake up at 415 a.m. I have to be at CNBC at 6 tomorrow and it takes a little less than an hour to get there. It's been kind of a rough week at my internship but today was great and I think tomorrow will be too. They are really short staffed lately, thanks to budget cuts (big surprise), so I've been doing the teleprompter for about 3 or 4 hours a day. It's awful. I don't mind doing it because I know they need help, but it just gets hard to be upbeat when I'm so tired. The frustrating part for me is feeling like I'm sacrificing other incredible experiences (exploring Hyde Park at sunset or exploring new kinds of beer at Kingshead) so I can be a little less exhausted at a job that leaves something to be desired.

I've been working on my blog updates, and I'll get them up as soon as possible. Everything is getting harder to squeeze in because the clock is ticking faster and faster! (Except when I'm doing prompter and I literally watch the seconds drag by...) I can't believe I only have a month left. I'm having an incredible time. I didn't do much today except work and nap, but I did go to the pub with Rachel, Mike and Katherine for a drink. The four of us are going on a trip to Amsterdam in a few weekends and I'm soooo excited. It's the only other big trip I'm doing and I think it will be a great way to finish things off. Rachel and I are going coasteering this weekend...check out the link:

I had a great skype date with my mom and grandma tonight. She's been doing pretty well without my grandpa (it will be a month since he died this Saturday). She was telling me all about the retirement community she is moving to in August and I think she was a little shocked that I told her even more about it from the website. I love the non-internet generations. :)

I also got to talk to my sister Meg who is in Rwanda for 3 weeks. Here's a link to her blog: www.megrau.com

Ok, I'm off to bed! Tomorrow I'll continue my research on Swine Flu and start editing some video from Greenland for a story on renewable energy. Thanks for reading...

"exploring new kinds of beer at Kingshead"

I'm hoping that you've tried some beers from Samuel Smith or Fuller's. I've had Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Fuller's ESB, both of which were very good. I've heard Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter and Nut Brown Ale are great. You should check them out

Emily,
I went coasteering in Wales last summer around this same time - you will literally have the time of your life. The scenery is breathtaking. Say hi to lorainne for me! she runs the lodge there and when we missed our train back to london she let us sleep on the couches in the lodge for free and gave us food. Sweet lady. Try to bring a water proof camera! They sell them at the bar in the lodge haha. Have fun and be careful!
