Day 1-4
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Valerie
29 April 2014 | Verenigd Koninkrijk, Londen
Saturday was the big day for me; I finally arrived in London. The trip was really really long, I got here 4,5 hours later than expected. So instead of arriving at 7.30 am, I arrived at 12.00 am. Once I found the train station, I bought an Oyster card and I got the right trains, this went quite smoothly and I finally met the Blackburn's (Father Robert, son Sam, and a friend of the family who's staying here because he's studying in London; Charlie) . After drinking a cup of tea, Robert and I took Mooby for a walk and Rob showed me the environment. We ate this evening at a Thai restaurant, it was really tasty! Then Rob and I had to hurry, because we had to go to a house warming. I really liked it, everyone was very nice and I've had some nice conversations. However, after a rough night, I got very tired this evening. Next day, I woke up at 0.30 pm, quite late, even more if you think about the Dutch time (1.30 pm). This Sunday was a relaxing day. Rob and I went grocery shopping and we had a quick look at my working place for the next day: Baron-Grey solicitors. Later at the day, a friend of Sam came over and the three of us have been watching a movie. This evening I ate a real English meal, I think it was called roast, but I'm not sure. However I do know that I really liked it! Monday was my first day to the office. I was really excited, I went by bus. As I arrived, I got a tour through the office and they showed me 'my' desk. They told me that they would 'throw me into the deep'. They immediately gave me instructions how to pick up the phone. As we heard the next ring they told me it was my turn. I was really nervous. Besides this, Brenda explained me how to scan files. I think I am doing quite well. I've also been told that I join a solicitor when he needs to go to court, I really hope I can experience this! Rob got up early this morning because he went to Lancaster until Tuesday. So, Charlie, Sam and I ate pizza in the evening. The next day I got up early again and I took the bus to the office. I worked in the morning, ate during lunchtime in Richmond and after working in the afternoon I got home again. I took Mooby for a walk and went right down the street to the park. After that, Charlie and I (Sam is ill) were just about to go cooking, as Rob got home. Let's see what tomorrow will bring me! Bye
