Chaos

with the chaos of the past few days with school internships and getting ready for scotland this is the fist time i've had time to write, and this is not even on my blog at least the original, i'm writing this on the train, since the people around me are either sleeping or reading... there are people behind me talking and carrying on but i can't exactly join in too many seats between plus would get sick facing back that far nor could hear, well except those i think british football players in the back. i think i left off tusday afternoon so i need to tell you what happened Wednesday. no one has class on Wednesday many of us have our internships interviews mine was not till thursady so i got to hang out with those that do not have internships. we decided to go to the natural history museum for it is with in walking distance and free! i really wish trains were pressurized! my ears keep hurting when we pass another train or go through a tunnel. the natural history museum is built for children so i was loud and fun and had many hands on exhibits. since it is free we didn't feel pressured to see the whole thing at that time. i plan on going back if not in this half of the semester than next when i have fewer classes. the ticket lady just came by and said "tickets please" very train like :) when you walk into the natural history museum the first thing that greats you is a long neck dinosaur! man that thing is huge! its spinal column from neck to tail takes up like the whole foyer area and its not a small area, think size of gym added to a college size gym with stands and the beauty of a cathedral. for when we were going to church on sunday we thought the museum was the church. i do believe that the british national history museum has more dino bones than i've ever seen in my life! they had the bones on structures scale models a lot; and amazing ways of displaying them for the big ones there was an elevated walkway that  let you be almost eye to eye with them! since the british did so much hunting and exploring and there fore they have many stuffed and slightly faded creatures. they have and old panda so faded its black sections are now more brown than black. for the most part all the creatures are well preserved. they have all sorts of creatures from decently common creatures like lions and armadillos to the more exotic and creatures that nowadays can't be hunted like vampire bats and snow leopards. they also have a blue whale, i kinda doubt that it is a skin but i could be wrong. they have so much stuff that we saw in our few hours there that i could spend pages and hours writing about it. i'm not going to do that. in the afternoon we went to oxford st. where the normal people shop. one of the girls wanted to get an across purse and i wanted a more professional not quite so touristy looking one if i could find one in my price range which was cheep. both of us found what we wanted in our range which was great! it took us a really long time to find them . most of the stores were ridiculously expensive or the bags were huge and not across bags. so i had my bag to look good for my interview and she got her every day bag everyone happy!
that leads to thursday which defiantly was a day of chaos! get up have breakfast hurry upstaris start packing for Edinburgh, run downstairs for class, go to the science museum only see the part on medicine on this trip because need to get back for a quickish lunch, then iron shirt have to leave iron there to cool off, run upstairs have to stop running half way up stair cause tired (live on 4th floor coming from basement) finish walking upstairs put in contacts, put on makeup figure out whither to war socks with borrowed flats or not, finish getting ready fix hair (pointless the wind in the tube station ruins any style), then run down stairs thank friend heartily for helping me out by putting the iron up for me and leave, oh yeah and some where in there started a 2 pages reflection paper due friday. then with barley a breath get to the tube and hope dearly nothing happens even though planned in time for a shot stop other than normal, the circle line has been having issues lately, but didn't on this trip. get to paddington only have slight trouble locating sign for my exit, couldn't completely read the sign contacts went screwy, then had no trouble finding the hospital, so i was there waay early, almost 30 min. early wait more than that. so i kinda wondered around the elevators, they have small elevators so i let others go first then in a close to empty one i finally went up and found where the school room was supposed to be, here i encountered a slight problem, i couldn't open the doors! it wasn't a lack of strength so i had no idea what to do, my instructions just said follow signs that say schoolroom and i didn't see any signs except the pull that told me how to get in so i look around for help and apparently i looked very confused for a doctor or someone who works at the hospital told me so, sh showed me a button i could have pressed that would have paged the receptionist who would have let me through but his card worked so he let me through, it properly would have been good for him to have checked some id or something but i guess the confusion on my face and my slight stuttering when i told him what i was doing let me be trustworthy. since i was massively early they were not ready for me. while i was waiting they offered me tea or coffee, at home i would have said i'm fine but we have been encouraged to accept it and take tea breaks with them so i said sure. they made coffee...... i really don't like coffee, don't like the smell from home, but i wasn't going to be rude so i accepted a cup and put a lot of milk and sugar in it; i don't think there is enough of anything to make that stuff taste good. i only was able to force down 2 sips. in my interview she had already placed me, so we just talked about what the schools were and what i could expect in my internship. since my stuff came in later than many others she didn't have many places for me to go, nor do i have any experience in the type of children they deal with so she just put me where they had a spot, so coming Monday i will be at least i think so i will be at the psychiatric branch. she said the bunch they have right now are a calmer bunch so a good group to coming in on. without a moments rest when that was over i scurried home to go to the theater! we watched As You Like It which is an awesome play when seen in person. some of us read it before just so we had an idea of what we were getting into. seeing it performed by a Shakespeare company with british and irish accents makes it that much better! i really don't think there can be any comparison to Shakespeare performed by the british!
oh and i finished my paper that night so i didn't have to bring my computer with me. somehow i succeed in being completely ready ( i think) and finished my homework and i even got up in time ( o dark 30) for the tube to the train, and now i've even caught you up to me. as my pen somehow someway bleeds on my fingers i feel like and author of old a scribbler if you will with that
