In London!

Hey guys! We arrived in London yesterday morning.. and hit the ground running. The whole goal of yesterday was just to stay awake. We moved into our apartments which are really neat.. a lot nicer than I was expecting. We have 18 interns and 2 people to a room. The rooms are really nice... they each have a bathroom and full kitchen and stuff so it's pretty cool. We've been walking several miles a day so far and riding the tube and the overground everywhere.. I love it!

Today I learned a lot more of what I'll be doing while I'm here.. I'll be working directly with Kim and Sarah at Twyford high school with the cheerleading club. We are going to there lunch club/practices and teaching them basic stuff and then after school we are doing a mini-cheer camp where we are going to teach a dance routine and a couple of cheers and chants. I will have 2 iGo teams for weeks A and B, but the thing is.. they haven't been created yet. So we are pr that we can get some cheerleaders out of both weeks and make a team! Me and my teams will also be working with Rachel and her teams in South Acton where we will be meeting people and hanging out at the youth centre etc. There are about 10 locations that the interns are splitting up and working in and each intern will have a 1-week team of somewhere around 8 students. Our schedule right now is crazy but when the 1-weekers get here on Tuesday it will be insane..!

Okay it's a little after midnight here so I'm going to bed.. but I'll be sure to post some more pictures later! Hope these will hold you over until then:)
