I stood on High street in Camden this afternoon and suddenly realized that it's already Friday! I had been going through the whole day thinking that it was Thursday. I guess jetlag and full days that kind of blur into one will do that to you. Megan (the other apprentice) and I arrived at 0600 on Tuesday morning. I had never flown British Airways before, and it was excellent, although the guy infront of me kind of invaded my personal space for most of the flight(I'm convinced that the British accent just makes anything sound more professional). I was exhausted getting on the plane in Philly and was hoping that maybe lots of exhaustion + jetlag= no jetlag at all (?). Not the case. After getting picked up at Heathrow, our team leaders lovingly made us stay up ALL day to kick jetlag out of our systems quickly (including running errands and getting phones). I was so exhausted in the middle of my first night here, that I woke up and shot up in bed, panicking for my pillow ("Oh no! Pillowwwwwwwwwwwwww!"), which was in the same place it had been when I went to bed. Welcome, Roommate Megan. I am so thankful that you get to experience my crazy panicky sleep moments so early on in our friendship.
The interns arrived yesterday morning! I was so excited to meet them at the airport! They seem like a really passionate and amazing group of women. Megan and I decided to inflict the same pain on them that our team leaders did and made them stay up all day yesterday, too. :) Today we spent the say in Camden with the team I'll be serving with. More to come, and perhaps it won't be so sarcastic next time! :)
