Thursday. FASHION WEEK!!!! Well, before that, got up at 9am, got ready to go to Museum of Brands in Notting Hill. Around 1040am, Chiyo, Jake, Lauren, and I left, took the National rail to paddington...and we got lost...so that was lovely..hopped on a bus because british people suck at giving direction, or their streets are just awful...Then we walked, but I guess we passed it, stopped a cab, it was close, but we just got on, and he droves us like 3 streets, and gave us a free ride!! SO NICE. Then I walked around inside for ages by myself because I wanted to fully enjoy the museum, lots of things from the past, like how objects have changed. Things like chocolate, toys, makeup...brands such as pepsi, yeah. We have to write a paper on this, so i took so many pics of toys..thru the years. It's for my Int. Marketing class, so instead of class we came here, and then i left, and got lost..never made it to notting hill station, i went on a bus, cause it said Paddington, it took me the opposite way, and i was in zone 2 at Westborne Road and I got back to the flat at 230, made chicken, got ready to go to FASHION WEEK!
Of kourse i was late...I left at 440, omg, and got to Embankment at 520pm, and mind you, it starts at 5!! Good thing catwalk is at 6..meet up Vicki..and we walked over..took loads of photos, and at 5:55, we ran over to the catwalk place, and was 3 row outta 4th, took pics...then walked around the shopping area, you pay to get into shop bargins, but it's like not the new season, so i didn't buy anything. There was juicy couture, so big, and all these other brands like D&G, Vivienne Westwood, and other brands that I don't know... Met up with vicki's friend and her friends...It ended at 10, took the tube with some of them and I got home at 1130...how did it take that long?!!?! I cooked some mushrooms, and luckily found noodles! yayy, and mixed them up and cooked, then showered, and went to bed at almost 2... Fashion week was interesting, i've never been to one, so since it's sooo popular and i'm in London, i decided to go...

Friday. After not that much sleep. I skipped that morning shower, and left my apt at 9..got in at 10..For the morning I created name tags for the files we have to file away..then i filed those away. I made myself tea, spilt a bit on me at the end...and good thing it didn't stain my jacket cause i really don't want to dry clean it. Also got a muffin, the girl that worked there went inside to get it for me cause there was no more left outside, so nice..it was chocolate and very very nice since i was starving since i had no food :( I also created new Reference forms to mail out and made copies of it and "franked" all the letters that need to be sent out, aka ran it through a machine that puts a stamp on it, and then it was lunch time, and..it was pasta again..or rice with beef...OMG, same thing?!?! For the afternoon task, i removed old things from the bulletin board in the galley...(dining for employees/cafe) and i put up some new notices...ran to and fro, printing in sales...and sohee giving me the wrong key so i couldn't open the notice board..with my feet hurting cause i was walking in heels all day ydae during fashion week.. Sorted out mail, stamped invoices...then walked around with sohee and got a cookie from the restaurant..omg started eating it there and sohee's like you cant eat it in public!! OOPS!!! haah, embarrassing!! But boy was it delish!!! I started creating this instruction flyer that we are going to put over the FRANK machine so people can stop asking how to use it. Will be finishing that up on Monday... Left a quarter after four, got a brownie hehehe and a cappuccino from the executive lounge and then went to Ealing...went to tesco, bought lots of food, didn't buy juice cause no arms to carry, ran into Zac, Johnny, taylor chad and vince..and then idk where everyone went, but me, zac, and johnny took the bus home together..and i just marinated chicken..and chiyo found a live spider that was big in our fridge! OMG..i dont cover the stuff i marinate in my fridge!! Good thing i did today. i'm surprised it survived in the cold??

Sunday. Missed yoga, decided to sleep in..slept til 11, everyone was up! I made myself a sandwich, getting sick of them! I don't know what happened to my left over cheese, did i use it all??? At 1245pm i went to wait for the bus, and lo and behold, asshole didn't come tile 105pm..wtf! I made it to the Marriott gym at 2:15...worked out til 3..then went to Oxford Circus on a hunt for my Lola's Kitchen cupcakes that I spotted when I was on yelp in USA. I finally found it...i guess following the address didn't work..it's legit inside of TOPSHOP...couldn't find the ground floor for a while..heh..i got myself a red velvet cupcake, the frosting was amazing..and a cookie dough one... Ah, soo good, spent the rest of the night just being annoyed at everything my flat mates were doing...then spent like 5 hours talking to christina trying to plan fall break..we ended up just planning what we were gon do in the winter...more fall break planning later i guess.

Monday. Half day, work at 11...got in, Alex was busy doing meetings...so I was just chilling by myself...until sohee came back at 1130? Then we went to lunch at 12. I finished up the "franking machine" flyer...went to sales to print it out..also made the contract packages for some new hires. I also learned how to put in requests for email addresses and how to create them..so you basically create them and send in the app...I left around 530..waiting til everyone was back from the meeting. Then I went to the gym to work out a bit, was on the elliptical for 20 mins, quick shower, and met up with zac at 6. It was randomly downpouring!!! It was all nice and sunny before my shower, and when I got outside, OMG it was raining! With no umbrella, I had to brave the rain to protect my suit jacket. We went to Slug & Lettuce and ordered nachos as starters but it wasn't that nice, very stale I feel and the cheese was overly cooked, it was like dried? The guacamole was nice, we also learned that you have to give them the okay to bring your "main" aka entree out. I got the southern fried chicken wrap, so good, definitely recommend! Zac got the open chicken pie, I got a taste of it and it was great! He had chips with his order as well. He got a strongbow and we both got water, but she gave us stilled water in a glass bottle! Which was 3USD each!!! We wanted free tap water!! After that, we tried to head to CAPA, we got there at 745pm, and there was no one there!! So much for getting out stipend, headed home afterwards.
