Bakerloo & Jubilee

Day 5-
I was the last to wake up since I had the shortest walk to my interview for my internship. I ironed my clothes, took a shower, got ready, and was out of the door within 45 minutes! Go me! I absolutely love being in the city. It is so exciting and refreshing to be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle every day. London is such a pretty city. There are a few boring buildings, but most of them have beautiful architectural design that is so pleasant to look at!

My internship is with The Birth Company. The office is on the third floor of what looks like a townhouse on Harley Street. The office is pretty small, but is modern with clean lines, an aquarium, and bright colors. Dr. Gibb is the physician with whom I will be interning. He started the company five years ago and has two physicians that help him on the side. We sat down and had a short interview and he basically told me that I would "be his assistant". He said that they would teach me to test urine, look through charts, etc, and that I would be able to go in many of the appointments with his patients. Guess what he has set up on Monday?? He is allowing me to go in with him as he delivers twins via C-section!!! I am sooo excited! What a great way to start off my week! The rest of the week should be short because he will be on "holiday", but they will still have me come and watch scans, do odd jobs, whatever. I am thrilled that I am getting this experience!

The rest of the day was really not too exciting, I'm afraid. We are trying to remember that we have six weeks here and although it will be over before we know it, we do need a little rest every once in a while. After the rest of the girls got home, we all took naps, cleaned, blah blah. Tori, Liz, and I rode the tube over to High Kensington Street and found a Blockbuster! I really don't think they watch many movies over here because it was difficult to find a place to rent a stinkin' movie! Anyway, we rented "Baby Mama", a favorite of mine. We live right by a Subway sandwich shop and Liz has had the smell in her nose for a few days, so she decided she HAD to stop. I was a good girl and ate at home! You'd be proud, Mama & Daddy, I only spent 2 pounds yesterday! Can you believe it? Yeah, me neither.

Day 6 -
We had class this morning from 10-12 but just about half of the class got lost coming to the location, so we didn't really get anything done. We basically went over the itinerary and talked Dr. Hardin into letting us push Wednesday's and Thursday's classes together so we could have Thursday off to go to Wimbledon! Oh yeeeaaahhh! Tennis isn't really my thing, but I don't think we can pass this up! Liz is super pumped and I think many of our other friends are going that day, as well.

I have been hollering about going to see a show since we first got here, so the girls finally gave in and we went to buy half-price tickets for a show tonight -- Peter Pan! It is in an outdoor amphitheatre and the weather is beautiful today, so it should be wonderful! Hopefully we will be able to see Jersey Boys, Sister Act, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Grease, or any of the other awesome shows that are playing in London right now. BTW, Jude Law is starring in Hamlet here...we are definitely going to line up and try to catch a glimpse after the show. O000hhh weee!!!

I have begun to compile a list of things that we must do before leaving London...I don't want to forget any of it! We walked through Regents Park today and it is absolutely beautiful! The flowers are all in bloom and the grass is as green as it can be. There were a million geese out there today -- I don't think they appreciated me running after them much. I honestly am suprised they didn't turn on me. Liz has a video; will post soon.

Hope you're all well! Peace...
