Last day at the office
August 4th, 2005 by MrLuxuryFashionGuruWow. It’s been ten weeks since I started my internship. Tomorrow is the last day I’ll have to go to the office at Rivington Street. Just like that, another chapter draws to a close.
There’re quite a few things I would have liked to have written about since my last entry, namely my visit to the National Gallery (for which I have nothing but praise) on Wednesday evening, viewing A Very Long Engagement (for which I also have nothing but praise) twice on Tuesday night, and attending the season’s opening performance of Turandot by the Kirov Opera (for which I have quite limited praise) at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden tonight. I guess that’s all going to have to wait, or never get done.
So much Chanel tonight. Europeans definitely dress better to attend the opera.
There were a bunch of American tourists sitting behind me who made me flinch and/or cringe any number of times in just one act. It’s always the American tourists, isn’t it? Not Americans, per se, just the tourists – I certainly didn’t observe any Americans who thought it was acceptable to talk during the performance of Turandot at the Metropolitan Opera, and certainly not during Nessun dorma*!! (The one person who dared to hum at the Met was shushed in no uncertain terms within the opening bars of the aria.)
*The initially quiet but eventually climactic aria for the lead tenor that is almost certainly the most famous music in Turandot.
Anyway, I’m making myself get to bed now, even though there’s just so much more I want to stay up and do. That’s probably going to be characteristic of the rest of my time in London, as I try to make up for lost sight-seeing** and house-cleaning time. And that’s not to forget packing my bags before Sunday.
**On my list (which is too long): Kew Gardens, The Natural History Museum, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, also the National Gallery again and maybe the London History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Ten weeks in this city, and I only started visiting museums in the final nine days. Shameful.

Find the local Roseville furnishings cleaning company today. Carpet Cleaning of Dallas did everything that they promised me they would do plus they didn’t have any hidden charges.
