Today was my last day at the NASN London office. I started work this morning doing my usual routine of returning e-mails and sorting out what is left to do on the Super Bowl and NHL competitions we are running. I completed two of the prize packs for the Super Bowl out of ten and got them posted. I then typed up a summary of what was left to do for the competitions so that another person can finish them later this week.
I was then taken out to lunch by Heidi and was joined by Alan and Graham at the Sports Cafe in London. Food was so so but, it was fun and enjoyable none the less. As an extra thank you, I recieved a NASN fleece, t-shirt, and NASCAR Game Cube game. More than I expected and I was more than greatful for them.
This has been a great experience and I would love to work for NASN again. Thank you.

Today is it. It is my last day in London England this year. Let me recap a little bit about last night. After work, I met up with my good frine Sulekha whom I went to college with in FL. She graduated last year and is now living in Endinburgh and studying at St. Andrews. We went to areat pub for dinner and then out for a few pints aftwards. It was brilliant to see her again. Sulekha, if you read this, come back to Florida!
Today was my last day at NASN. I was only in for a half day as I still needed to pack this evening. I did my usual tasks at work and then I was taken out to lunch by everyone in the office and given a great going away gift of a NASN fleece. I had a great experience and I wish it could be a little longer despite being ready to head back to the US of A.
My flight is at 10.10 am tomorrow morning from Heathrow which means I will be leaving where I am staying around 06.15 am. I then fly to Chicago for a quick lay over beofer heading ot Minneapolis and arriving around 04.15 pm. Then before I know it, I will be back in Florida on Sunday and at Disney World on Monday. Now to go enjoy my last night in London with the snow. Let it snow, let it snow, Let it snow.

Today was my last full day here at NASN. I wrapped up the work I was doing on the super bowl parties and the NHL all-star competition. I have really enjoyed working here although at times the tasks have been boring and repetitive. I will be in for a half day tomorrow before heading home to pack and then flying back to Minneapolis for a few days prior to the return to lifeguarding and school in Florida. It’s been fun while it lasted. Bye for now.

Well, the end is now almost here. I am finalizing some projects here at NASN before heading out to dinner with my friend Sulekha whom graduated last year from Eckerd and whom I haven’t seen in a year. I can’t wait. Should be a fun time. Tomorrow I will be in at NASN half the day then packing. That’s about it to report for now.

Today I worked on an award certificate for the Super Bowl XXX VIII competition drawings we are running. I also made more calls to find some more merchandise for the prize draws. After that, I called the Betfair number and retrieved the daily list of entries via the phone for another competition that is running. My afternoon has since been occupied with the final part of the NHL All Star competition and drafting the winner letter for that. 1 and a half days left. Scary thought.

The days are ticking away until I head back to MN. This past weekend, I spent it relaxing and being a tourist. I met up with some friends at the Eckerd College Study Centre on Friday evening after work and had a nice American dinner, Pizza Hut. It was nice to have something familiar (and cheap as well). Saturday I selpt in a bit and then trekked over to the west end to Eckerd once again where a group of us set out for Greenwich and the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observetory, where the prime meridian is located. That was a fun filled day of hiking and museum gonig before we parted ways at Waterloo station. I went home to the Docklands and proceded to make myself some dinner and do a load of laundry.
Sunday, I simply relaxed and slept in. After waking up, I just watch Hollyoaks and read my textbook for class and started sorting out my thoughts for my final paper. Today I am at work which will be my second to last full day. Intersting thought that I have been here almost a month and it has just flowen by. Anyways, I’m off to head back to my projects and then home in a bit.

Ok today has been a marathon. I have packaged up the Super Bowl flyers and taken them to the post office. Only a mere �85 to send them. I also hand delivered more of them to places near by. I have also been busy today making copy for the prize cards and finalizing some more contacts. I am ready to crash and I still have a full night ahead with friends. Mamma mia is this a long day.

Today has been nothing other than Super Bowl XXX VIII for me. I have contacted more venues about parties and have finalized copy and material for the prize draw competitions for Super Bowl parties at the venues. On top of that, I have been working yet again on the weekly newsletter for the customer services team in Scotland. Talk about a busy day. Now that we finally have enough IP addresses, we all can be online with no interruptions. Makes my job a lot easier as I do a lot of e-mailing and online research for my internship. Stress time begins as we hit the Road to the Super Bowl.

Well folks. exactly a week from today I will be heading back to the US of A. It has been a fun month but the high exchange rates have not made it fun financially. Another day in the office today with lots of work being done on final preparations for the Super Bowl party promotions we are running. Last night was a relaxing one and I was able to catch ER on Channel 4 which made me happy. Too bad they are a season behind the US over hear but it is my favorite show none the less.
In other news, I am still waiting for the WDW College Program to finish updating their website database so I can apply for the CP for next fall. That’s call for now.
