Today I unfortunately had to go to work. We usually get Fridays off but since we had a HUGE event today they needed our help to check people in and to help with the Q&A. At first I was really bummed at having to go into work but it was worth it because the event was really interesting.
It was a speech by the new UK Secretary of State for International Development, Andrew Mitchell. The equivalent of his job in the US would be the head of USAID, so he's pretty important to say the least.
His speech was on the Millenium Development Goals and how the UK was going to try and achieve them. He seems to be a really good person for the job, his ideas were really focused, to the point, and also realistic. It was definitely worth coming into work for, and we also got free lunch with was AWESOME!
Later tonight we are hoping to go into the city and see the monuments all lit up and take pictures, which will be really fun! But other than that, I am taking it easy till then cause it's been a LONG and EXHAUSTING week!
