That's a wrap!
We recently returned from London! We said our goodbyes to our lovely internship teams and left with a bittersweet feeling. We spent the last weekend enjoying our time together by having breakfast, and then just strolling around London a little more. Afterwards, it was time to leave! We have since all arrived home safely. The internship was definitely a time to never forget! I hope to return to Middlesex University in the time to come
Normal, deuxième semaine
La deuxième semaine était aussi bon que la première semaine! J’ai travaillé et aidé beaucoup à l’Université de Middlesex. Quand nous revenons du travail, il est déjà assez tard et puis nous avons encore besoin de dîner, donc nous n’avons jamais beaucoup de temps pour faire quoi après le travail. Ce week-end, nous avons pu voir quelques plus essentiels de Londres, vu que nous avons visité le Palais de Buckingham, et j’ai exploré la Musée de la Science. Nous avons aussi visité un restaurant vraiment plaisant, où nous avons mangé vraiment bon.
Some free time
This weekend, even though we decided to sleep in, we got to see some of the London essentials! On Saturday, Daan and I already had something planned: visit the Tate Britain, to see the Hockney exhibition! One of my amazingly friendly co-workers had given me her membership card to use, so we didn't even have to pay a fee to get in!
But first, we wanted to see the famous "King' Cross" station, where a tribute to the famous "Harry Potter" film series can be seen.
We then went on to the tube to get to the Tate Britain! As Daan and I got off the closest tube-station, we didn't really have an idea as to where we were, or where we had to go, so we started to aimlessly drift around until we found something to point us in the right direction. As we walked around, we suddenly started to recognize our surroundings...!
We had ran into the amazing SIS building, perhaps better known as the MI6 building that gets blown up in the famous James Bond Movie - Skyfall.
After walking up closer to the building to get a more decent look, I took some quite fabulous pictures of Daan.
We were enjoying our time simply observing the beautiful London skyline in the blazing (atleast for London's standards) sun, but unfortunately we had to hurry ourselves, as we still hadn't found the Tate Britain! After some educated guesses and the help of Google maps, we found out where we had to go, and thus, on our way we went!
Only standing outside of the Tate Britain, we were already dumbfounded by this amazing building! We then went inside and we were even more amazed by the beautiful interior, but also the 15th-16th century free to look at paintings!
Then our time looking at the free exhibition came to an end, as we definitely wanted to see the temporary Hockney exhibition! This turned out to also be very interesting, as Hockney's exhibition spanned across a lot of different types of art.
Afterwards, we met up with the girls, we had a bite to eat and then explored the core centre of London. We saw the Big Ben, the London Eye and got to see the overall beauty of London at night! unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures as my smartphone's battery had ran out some time before. Sunday
The next day, we woke up around the same time, and Daan and I quickly left for the Natural History Museum! The museum was also very exciting. We learned much about ancient and modern animals, and we even saw life-size models and actual skeletons. Such as the skeleton and model of the blue whale, both pictured below!
After the museum, us and the girls decided to meet up to grab a bite to eat. We decided to eat at the shakeshack, a fast-food place which serves surprisingly-tasty burgers and fries covered with cheese!
After filling up our tummies, we strolled throughout Leicester Square once again, where we enjoyed the numerous street artists. Then we took the sub home and enjoyed a quiet night of sleep.
The process so far
The day after arriving, we decided to go out and have our first actual look at the metropolis called London. We took the sub to Covent Garden and started roaming around the beautiful city. All of us were quite impressed by the large buildings, stores and restaurants the core of the city hosts. At this moment, I was sold. I had chosen the right place! We saw many street artists and interesting figures, and the entire time simply spent walking from place to place was definitely enjoyable.
We continued our adventurous trip by having an epic meal at a Maxwell’s restaurant, which displayed the coziness and gentleness a big city can still have. The food was also amazing!
The day after, it was time to get to know our internship places, and where to find them. We were guided by our excellent teacher, Miss Elsemans. She guided each and every one of us towards our guidance team to make sure we arrived safe and sound, and to fill in the necessary paperwork.
Here I am together with one of my undeniably amazing bosses, Darryll Bravenboer! After this picture was taken, I was immediately up for any work I could do, and so I got to help around the office with some practical matters, such as moving books around. All in all an interesting first day!
I’ve been spending the rest of the week getting to know the many awesome people who work at Middlesex University, and doing anything I can to help them out, and in turn achieve some working experience! As the first week is almost at an end, I expect to enjoy the rest of my internship at this great university immensely!
We have arrived
After months of preparing, we have finally arrived in our very own perfect London! We spent our first day getting settled in and buying some quite necessary basic products for eating, washing etc. But we also got the opportunity to explore the city, and we saw quite a lot of it! Then today, we went ahead and scouted our internship locations, so that we can now easily find our way to the companies. I am very curious to enjoy this experience and expect to learn a lot!
London, 2016
Almost time!
In 4 days from this post, my fellow travellers and I will be in London, ready to start our internship-adventure! Recently, we have had to fill out and 'turn in’ several important pieces of paperwork, to ensure everything is very much in order before we leave, so that we can spend our three weeks there without having to worry about anything but enjoying ourselves! We’ve also practiced a lot with several Office programs, so that we are properly prepared for any office work we will do. I will be working at the Middlesex University in Hendon, situated in the North West of London. Binnen 4 dagen zullen mijn medeleerlingen en ik in Londen zijn, klaar om ons stage-avontuur te starten! We hebben recent vele belangrijke formulieren moeten invullen en indienen om er zeker van te zijn dat we vrijwel zorgeloos van onze tijd in Londen kunnen genieten. We moeten enkel aan ons werk denken! Ook hebben we in de laatste weken veel geoefend om onze vaardigheden in meerdere Office programma’s scherp te houden. Ik zal mijn stage lopen bij Middlesex University in Hendon, gesitueerd in het noord-westen van Londen.
Cheers everyone!
