One of Millions

This morning I should have woken up so excited that it is Friday, and I survived my first week of work. Instead, I woke up realizing how much I miss my family and friends. It's crazy how all it takes is a week away to make you really miss the little things (especially with my crazy group of friends). My parents are in Italy right now, but thankfully they set up an international plan so I was still able to call them so they could cheer me up. Any new situation takes time, but this week has been so different from my experience in London. I am here on my own and not with a study abroad group who all go UGA. It just really gets you thinking how a this city can create such a sense of excitement and yet such a sense of loneliness. Here I sit in my apartment surrounded by millions of people, and yet, I know 5. It gives me a rush of adrenaline because I have no idea who I might meet next or what I might see next. But every now and then I realize who I'm missing and what I'm missing back at home. I think this summer will really help me grow and learn new things while appreciating the things I already have or left behind. 

I have already learned so much at work. I got to go to my first photoshoot yesterday, and it was amazing! I also almost died in the showroom while trying to move a rolling rack of bridal gowns. The whole rack flipped over and the other intern and I were swimming in a sea of satin and tulle!

I am so ready for tonight and this weekend. Finally, a night out! Then a weekend where I can actually digress from my daily route from work to home. I never realized how much a full time job can really take out of you! My roommates and I come home every night, eat dinner, and are in bed by 11 so we can wake up and do it again. Ahhh.. the real world. But alas (yes...I just used the word 'alas'), the weekend is here, and I can go out and explore everything in this insane city.  

I promise, pictures are to come...just have to buy a cord for my camera (something most people would have packed..oops). 

All in all, I survived my first week (and loved it), so now let's make sure I survive this weekend!
