Career Explorations has been really fun so far and it's an experience that I'll never forget. I think I'll start from the 1st July because that seems the most appropriate time to start as it's the beginning of the month. 1st july was an internship day so I did my daily routine of travelling to my internship and doing the jobs that they found for me to complete. I had a free night so I spent some time with my suite in the city. I think my suite-2104 has got on really well from day 1. There have been no arguments and everyone gets on well with each other.
On the 2nd I did my daily routine of travelling to and from my internship. My company feels very British as it's a very popular company in England and it's the only place where I hear other British accents. That night we had 'College Night'- this was when Paul Flowerman gave a lecture to us. I also was lucky to have a mock interview with him as well. I realised that there are so many differences between the British and American educational systems. The British system is more direct and specialised unlike the American system which is generalised and non-specific. At the moment I prefer the British system but I'm still open to ideas.
On the 3rd July we went to watch the Blue Man Group which was a one of a kind. I had never seen anything like it before and it was very fun. I like the way how they interacted with the audience.
I was looking forward to my first 4th July in the U.S but it came as a bit of an anticlimax. I was hoping to see Ashlee Simpson in the morning but I was disappointed to hear that she had cancelled the show as she was pregnant. I went to the baseball in the afternoon but that was rained of. Then I was looking forward to the fireworks but it seemed like no one was willing to go because it was raining. However some of us managed to brave the rain and went around in search of fireworks. Although we didn’t find the fireworks it was still a fun night.
On the 5th July we went to Harlem to go bowling which was fun. On 6th July we took a sunset boat ride which was very scenic and it showed me New York on water for the first time. Yesterday we went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner.
