It’s hard to believe, but my time in London is drawing to a close and even though there are still tons of places I’d like to go and things I’d like to see, there just isn’t enough time. It is my mission this week to fit in as much as I possibly can so I can leave with no regrets!
This past weekend was busy busy busy! Friday was my last day of work 
It’s so surreal to meet all of these new people and get comfortable in an internship and then realize 2 months later that you may never see those people or have any experience like that ever again. I’m very sad to be leaving, but the 3fish gang is coming out for a farewell dinner this Tuesday so I won’t be truly sad until that is over and it really feels like the end.
After work on friday, a few of my friends met me at Southbank and we toasted to the end of our internships at the oh-so-posh Oxo Tower restaurant. You couldn’t ask for a better view because it overlooks the Thames river and you can see from Westminster in one direction to Tower Bridge in the other. It’s particularly beautiful at night because much of the area lights up.
Saturday was a beach day, although you wouldn’t know it if you saw the weather. We hopped on a bus to Brighton and explored for the day, the highlight being a carousel ride. I don’t care how old I am, I don’t think I’ll ever stop enjoying carousels. This one was nice because it was right on the beach (which is composed of stones, not sand, by the way). I also ate the best (and cheapest) burger since I’ve been here at a little shack called the Burger Bar located in the Lanes. For only 4 pounds and 50 pence, I got a burger, fries, and a can a soda. Continuing on the topic of food, I also indulged a little at a cupcake shop, I want to say it was called the Angel Food something? Anyway, VERY tasty cupcakes!
Sunday was a nice outing as well to Greenwich for the 2nd time, but this one was for a beer and jazz festival at Greenwich University. It was a relaxing day of varieties of jazz music, people dancing, and hundreds of ales to choose from.
