Saturday. I got plenty of sleep, finally after 11 hours? I got up because my roommates were talking in the room..about how chiyo got separated from the group and lost and drunk in london! by herself! I guess she left the club, ws on the phone with katie who was home wit me, and people were screaming rude things to her on the street, spent 50p on a cab ride home...wow. I'm glad i didn't go out! Skyping with friends and watching my shows was a better option, as i had run outta british pounds and have to wait til monday to exchange some for usd. So I made some pasta, used the rest of the creme sauce, hope that it was safe..because it was def past 3 days mark..then chiyo, katie and i headed to WEstfield mall in Stratford station around 1, london's biggest mall, that opened on tuesday, the 13th. It was sooo crowded, i thought i was in a festival! There was legit traffic going into the mall..human traffic! So i took some pics :) Had lunch at banger bros, okay burger/fries. Nothing special, my taste is beyond this haha. They gave out free samples of pretzels...there was a line to go into hollister..wth? Then we left around 5ish, i came home, made tea, skyped....made steak at 11pm..cause i wasn't hungry. Then slept around 1 because i have yoga tomorrow morning!!!! at 11..which means getting up way early.

I finally got to marriott at 11am...a bit late for yoga class but i made it!!! Had yoga for an hour, i think his name is kevin. Then i was on the elliptical for 15 mins, then did some reps with weights, took a shower...then headed to leicester square to get free gelato!! yums..i got 2 free! The place is called La Gelatiera. First one was vanilla/chocolate then 2nd one, omg black sesame..soo good and kiwi sorbet. mm...I headed back to the flat after, took a 10 min nap...then chiyo came in and was like there's a woman and her son outside our door...LOL WTF?!!

Monday. So monday's are my half days, sort of, I came into the office at 11, and Alex was there, Sohee was out because she had a baby scan...Haha, i was a bit nervous cause you know, working under the director is a pretty big deal, no? He's so jolly though, always so smiley!! Love it!!! Really passionate about HR and wants to change things around county hall...which i think is great, he gave me a project. He was going to teach a sort of class at the other hotel, i'm thinking? On The Why of Work, which is a book by these couple who are really good at HR, so he wants to inspire people to love what they do, cause yenno, if you love your job, you benefit and the company as well. So I created a PPT for that, copy and pasting info, but making sure everything fit on the slides required and make it presentable. Spent ages doing that..maybe 3-4 hours?? Had lunch at 1230, there was pasta! And really good chicken, mmmm. Yeah, so basically the whole day was doing that, Alex was in and out all day at meetings, felt so bad I couldn't help everyone, lols, and some people came back so many times hoping he'd be back, but he'd be back for a min and leave. I opened some invoices, and stamped them...then...waited til 530 for him to come back so i can leave...
Went to king's cross mad early! Our Harry Potter tour was at 7pm. So it started out at platform 9 and 3/4 which is really platform 8, went outside to where the fake platform was and took pics, walked over to St, Pancreas, where they filmed the stolen car, ron & harry took, and if you go to the left of st. pancreas, it's the parking lot, part of a hotel, where the car was parked in the movie. Then went to bank to see the leaky cauldron for the first movie...then walked to where they filmed diagon alley, So we cross the london bridge this was where the deatheaters flew?? or maybe it was when all HP ppl became Harry's and they were flying... ...and then walked to where the knightbus landed, the other leaky cauldron, oh man, i don't even remember...then walked to the Wobbly bridge...omg so gorg, also saw the monument of britain burning before? Okay, the name is probably wrong, but it's this biggg column, so tall...then also saw the globe theater. Went to West Minster..where i work!! And I guess they filmed over the thames...and parts of house of parliament. We saw the ministry of magic...street. so the MoM would be below that street.
Bridget, Curtis (finally met in life) and I took the National Rail, which i been meaning to take, back and ran into chiyo & katie c. at the bus stop LOL. Made steak again, with rice..and then a sandwich after, though I was very full, my rice tastes weird, not soft enough :( gotta buy diff rice...Slept at 1am...

Tuesday. After just 5 hours of sleep, i had to get up yet again...decided to skip showering since I shower at night anyways....and slept a bit more til 7am then got ready, made the usual sandwich, then got ready and left at 755 and ran into Zac and Alexa at the bus stop. Took the central line with them, and got to work at 9am, oh soo early! Had myself a cup of green tea...ate an onion bread?? Sohee also got me a muffin, which i'm saving for tomorrow when i starve in class..because it's so long !! I finished up creating info cards for the new hires so we can have all personal info on these big index cards. Also, finished double checking if all new hires info was in the computer system. People came in and out, so I would just listen and sometimes butt in on their convos. I showed sohee my PPT I created yesterday... Then we chatted up about random things, like Asia :) She's getting married on Oct. 8. woo! New baby boy coming, or 70% sure! I really don't know what I did for 3 hours...Time just flies...I went to sales by myself to get color printed papers, cause ours doesn't print in color...It was quite a long walk on the 3rd floor, we are located on the 4th. County hall is wayyy too long!! I love how I eat so much at work...
Lunch was pasta...and then there was beef, and also really soft rice?? Then I made myself a cup of latte after...I created a flyer for the new Referral Program Marriott is trying to do, so if an employee refers a friend for a vacant position, and that person gets it, the employee gets 50 pounds, and after 6 months, they get another 100 pounds....So weird, Cause wouldn't friends refer friends anyways??? So I created a nice flyer for that....took me 2 hours...So hard to stick all the info in!! Went to sales again to print it, then I stuck it in every dept's "pigeon hole" cause pigeons use to deliver mail. Then I did my CAPA hw while sohee was in a lil meeting. Then put all Leaver's index cards/filled them out, in the leaver's box, removed their files from our cabinet into storage..
When I left at 4pm, I got a small tart with this strawberry filling...and a slice of really good pound cake, well it was two colored, so it probably wasn't pound cake. Maybe it was marble cake? I headed to CAPA to get my stipend..then ran into ...Jake?? at the Acton stop even though we saw each other, while I walked to CAPA, but I couldn't really remember what he looked like, unless we are in marketing class or internship class. lol. Chatted up, then when we got off, I went to Tesco to do..an hour's worth of grocery shopping!! WHATTT, I got some sliced mushroom, the shrimp which i'm going to cook all today, twix cake, twix bar, this aero chocolate /biscuit, galaxy chocolate, eggs, hmm what else...oh chicken! I'm going to cook chicken!!!! Been eating steak wayyy too long!!! So yeah, lots of junk food! Then at the bus stop, saw Johnny and Taylor..and when we got on the bus, out came chiyo!! LOL...to the back of the bus, ahhaha, she also went to Tesco! but a quick trip.

Wednesday. Sleeping in days!! Kinda, The cleaning people came, yenno, during my shower, they have keys to our flat and the whole building most likely..So they change our sheets and vacuum and clean the kitchen and bathroom...Thank god, our kitchen is digusting...as is the bathroom sink at times...and they give you like 3 rolls of toilet paper for the week, which is never enough. I made my usual sandwich..lol, had some pineapple juice, then at 1pm, set off to CAPA. Got there for shakespeare class and it was long..and i was bored, and we watched snippets of "the merchant of venice" again, two diff versions, one older than the other. Then at 430, he let us out early...so I went to the Lounge and went on a computer and read my marketing hw...like i just read it and highlighted it. At 640pm, very precise eh?? Went to Internship class....omg this sub made us like answer questions and do discussion!! We got out in an hour then went back, and I made my chicken, noms!! And egg and stuff, and at 9ish, went up to penthouse and left with Zac, Taylor, vince, chad, chrissie..and other girls to go to Will's bday at this art club in notting hill, and i get there, and dumb ole me..forgot my ID!! :( so me and taylor went to a pub and just chilled until it was closing, and headed back, ran into half the people, ahha, and went up to the penthouse and Zac made us nuggets and fries, and chrissie and sammie and me and zac just chatted, then i left to go make more food downstairs, i know right, i made eggs/mushroom.
