19/07/10 - Work went well. For class, we skyped with someone who's basically a social media expert. It was interesting to see how there are so many ways you can analyze something like Twitter. After, we went to the BBC center. It was the same that I went to at 4:00 in the morning earlier in the summer. They do tours of the facilities, but they didn't know a lot about the operations. Being journalists, we were asking questions that they weren't prepared for, and that was rather unfortuate. The tour wasn't that great because they couldn't answer pretty basic questions. Oh well, I'm glad that a few of us were able to go and watch a newscast take place and talk to a presenter. That was much more informational.
20-21/07/10 - Work, work, work! Though nothing changes from day to day, I'm starting to realize how much I'm going to miss it. It's gotten more interesting lately because people who were working on the World Cup were starting to come back.
22/07/10 - Class was really interesting today. We got to talk about the infamous Margeret Thatcher. I'd heard a little bit about her and had a bad feeling about her. Our class basically confirmed that. She was a tough cookie, which I definitely respect her for, but her policies were terrible. Our professor said that you either love her or you hate her. It's definitely the later for me. After we talked about Thatcher, we talked about the Olympics. Before long, class was ending and we were heading to the airport to go to Barcelona for the weekend! After a quick airplane ride, we were landing in Spain! The taxi ride was a little long, but we got to the hostel. The person greeting us was Alexis, and he turned out to be amazing. He was so funny and knew us as the 7 girls. Everyone that worked there knew our group as that. It was going to be a great weekend!
