Up for round two, and despite being 2 nights sleep deprived (I like my 8 hours) I’m prepared. Prepared for the tubes, prepared for the steps, and fortunately my outfit today includes my flat brown leather boots. I am so prepared in fact, that I arrive at the offices half an hour early, but I love it so much already that I don’t care.
My first tasks are organising the folders for September and October editions, and typing up notes. By late morning I’m writing my own pieces to go up on the website, which is very exciting! There’s always a worry with internship-ing that you’ll turn up, be seated on the floor surrounded by a bunch of files to organise, and the only other task of making coffee for the team. But it’s day two and I’ve been unleashed to write about anything I want. Allbeit 300 words or so. Come 3pm I’ve emailed two articles to Jessie, and after a couple of quick edits, they’re ready to go up on the website. WOW. (or whoa.) I was half-expecting constructive criticism, or ‘not really what we’re looking for’, but nope. *Jaw drops*
At 4pm I leave the office, finished way ahead of time. I’m meeting a friend at Oxford Street, so make a dash and meet her there on the dot. In true London style we stand in a crowded pub throwing back diet cokes, talking ourselves into a state of supersonic mass as we catch-up on the last 3 months in less than 30 minutes, including a successful marathon, a trip to Barcelona, and a sneak peek at my August edition, to go on sale mid-July. She’s off to Wimbledon Tennis and I’m off to Marylebone, so after the fastest and most informative conversation I think I’ve ever had, we hug and plan to meet for a rather longer time-period next week. London’s amazing and I’m in love with it.
