So one of my first tasks was to make tea for a meeting. I have NEVER once in my life made tea. So for those that don’t know how, here is what you will need:

• Hot Water
• Mugs
• Tea Bags
• Sugar
• Milk

Instructions

1. First place the tea bag in the bottom of the mug.
2. Second, pour hot water in to mug.
3. Next, let tea filter for a minute or two
4. Remove tea bag from mug.
5. Add sugar and milk to make tea to your taste.

Today I started my internship at 11.00am here in the London Office of the North American Sports Network. I am in an office with 5 to 6 people while the rest of the operation is based in Dublin. Out of this office is where all the marketing and advertising comes. Today I spent some time reading some more about the company, running errans for the office such as making key copies and getting milk for tea (fun stuff eh?). Aside from the running around, I got a start on my first project which is a weekly newsletter that will go out to all the cusomer service call centers so they have a heads up on what is showing that week for when subscribers call in. So far so good I think.

Well, I start tomorrow. I will be working for the North American Sports Network (NASN), a subscription television service similar to ESPN, in their sales and marketing departments. Specific projects/duties in the sales department include coordinating production and distribution of sales materials to key commercial organizations such as pubs, bars and hostel that would fit a match to NASN. In the marketing department, specific duties include assisting with press releases, marketing research, and creating tailored schedules/marketing for a specific magazine or purpose.
