quiet

Everything has been a whirl. I just spent a week in England with my mom. I lined up nine interviews by just cold calling everyone and asking them to look at my stuff. I was surprised at the response I received overall, and how positive everyone was. The downside was many don't have the facilities to hire someone—they were firms of two people— but I was offered a placement (internship) at a really great firm and so I think I will take it. The biggest thing is just getting over there and being available.

I realized the other day, as I was talking to an old friend of mine and her mom, that as I was answering the thing I liked most about Rome, it was the peacefulness. That the park and neighborhood I could escape to was one of my favourite parts. And as I think about London, and this fast paced city, I look forward to being a part of it but also knowing I have a quiet solitude to return to someday. London won't be forever, right now it looks like it will only be for six months but it's something I want to experience. To just go on my own and learn from some of the best.
