Good Day Sunshine

Tuesday morning (after a fire alarm free night), we woke up to sunshine pouring through our bay of windows. The forecast said it would get up to 72 degrees, and it was spot on. There's something so euphoric about walking down the streets of South Kensington, ray-bans on, sun shining. Unfortunately, we had to spend four of those hours trapped in class (although mine was pretty entertaining with a three-way heated argument with the Professor about the Fed's bailout of Goldman!). Luckily, after class we were able to enjoy the warm weather while heading to our afternoon appointments. Carolyn had her interview at Crabtree & Evelyn (she can walk to her internship... unbelievably jealous!) and of course, was offered the placement on the spot! It's hard to believe three weeks from today will be our first day of real-world work! My afternoon walk was to the EUSA office to scan all of my documents and security forms needed for JPMorgan's clearance. They even needed a copy of my bank statement (maybe they'll want to pay me after they see how pathetic the balance is!).
Before we knew it, 3 o'clock rolled around and although Carolyn had been diligently researching for her paper, after working for almost 8 hours straight yesterday, there was no way I could have even attempted to open a book.
Around 7, our friend Katie from back home came over to our flat before we headed out to dinner at ASK, an Italian restaurant on Cromwell we'd been wanting to try. It's funny to think how I'm having tea at the Ritz and dining out in London with one of my first friends in Mrs. Maxwell's kindergarten class. The past few days have solidified what I've always thought to be true: family, the friends you cherish, and people you meet are all what make experiences memorable and worthwhile. Walking down London's streets with the sun shining is nice, but having friends and family walk with you is what makes it incredible.
