Worker Bee

(This is going to be a grammatically crazy post, Sorry :( I was just tired when writing this... and now am too lazy to re-write it :D + it's mainly for me to remember stuff anyway so stop whining when something doesn't make any sense lol)

So I'm now well in to my internship, creating the translation tool. At first it was a bit boring when the novelty wore off, because words kept on repeating themselves and it was harder and harder to find new ones. After one week of writing words in a word document I could finally start using the proper programme and create patterns for word combinations :) that gave me something to do for a week until the only thing left to do was to copy real ads into the programme and see if it takes out the right concepts - that there is or isn't an elevator etc. So I spent half a day readng blog posts and news etc and researching where to go next :D oops, well how long can you spend on one thing. Since the new girl (Greece) was quicker in finishing the first part - word document I began to panic that maybe I'm too slow and therefore did a couple more tests and two days later said that I might be finished. Oh no not so fast :D Still have to make sure everything works and do more tests (to be fair there was a couple patterns that didn't work). So this is my current task... read through all of the blog posts about a family who moved to London wrote during their 3 year stay... Now found a blog about an estonian who went to Australia - in 2009!!!!!! so they'll last me a long time :D

Meanwhile we had our dance battle :) That was a fun night :) I was so worried before because my group dance was qute quick and I wasn't really bothered learning it at home... Luckily for me, neither did anyone else to be fair :D So lunch time everyone was in their little corner doing their dances :D And the time came!!! Snack time + they made some alcoholic drink with crushed lime and sugar (can't remember what it was anymore). Dancing part was funny and the funniest dance was Bolimar - indian MJ thriller - look it up on youtube :D :D (I think it might actually say Girly Man :D). Unfortunately I was the only one from my group who was capable in learning the dance moves of rabbi yacob in half an hour, so ours wasn't that great (although everyone was impressed with me :D yaya). Moscou and Brice de Nice- donne moi du cash also were performed. Afterwards we all danced to rabbi jacob and formed a line and did a small dance tour on the street as well. So no one lost (otherwise either us or moscou would've had to perform on the street) :). Works for me.

I've had two Mondays off now :) one because of a bank holiday and another because they all went to Disneyland - I didn't because Mr. Special wants to go there sooooooooo bad and it wouldn't be fair on him if I went. But they found a discount price (39 euros both parks for one day) and I bought my tickets too so Disneyland is in the near future for me too :)

2 girls have left by now - Moldova and Slovakkia :( They were nice + we got to taste homemade slovakian alcohol wow that is strong!!!!

Everyday we eat lunch together :) You can either bring your own lunch with you, or go to the nearest supermarket to buy some or every once in a while we get a take away from the japanese restaurant or even go to the closest shopping centre for Subway - they have a nice rooftop garden :) Also across the street from us is a park where we eat when it's nice and sunny outside :)

That's about it with work for now I guess...

4 weeks done, 8 more to go. Time is practically flying by!

Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
