During my internship so far, I have experienced so much already from a trip to Ireland, to a trip
to Belgium, to thorpe park (Europes biggest theme Park), Ashford, Canterbury, day trips to small towns, St Paddys Day Parade and many more great adventures.
Ive met really cool people, and have had a really good time, the journey is still unwritten, and pages
that are still blank
What do you wanna be when you grow up? I woke up this morning with realisation of a life long and past,
you grow up with the feeling that life in long but soon realize that this a lie, lfe fades away as quickly
as it comes. As a student you need utilse every second that you have, as who really as time to waste redoing
majors/subjests. There will soon be more to this.
My internship experience has been amazing and I would recommend students to take the opportunity and do an internship prior to searching for a job. The methods I am learning in my internship have gone hand in hand with things I am learning in my current job, which has helped me apply my knowledge in both areas. The work experience i gained will also help build an excellent resume.
I am currently doing an internship for an online marketing company, and have this question that needs answering, life, how complex it is, what is that next step, my internship is going to end in a few months and I am still yet to decide what I shall do, I have graduated but still have a need to study further. I have learnt so much from my internship and feel like I can learn so much more. A wise person once told me, youth, cherish every moment, moments come and go, as opportunities are there for the taking, and youth is something you can't get back no matter how hard you TRY.
Medieval castles, rolling hills of green, the cobblestone streets of Dublin; Ireland is a land of fairytales, warm, hospitable inhabitants. Persuit of the historic streets of Temple Bar or visit a small countryside village, just don\'t forget your pint of Guinness while traveling the Emerald Isle.
This is a story about 9 interns 8 different nationalities 7 guys, 2 girls and 1 goal \"hunt the grunt\",
The Dublin adventure started off with a bang on Wednesday the 4th of March 2009, from the moment we departed we had drinks in our hands whistling that vacation tune. A whirlpool of culture is probably one of the best ways of describing it.
DAY 1
Airport blues, our flight was delayed for 2 hours due to \"technical issues\" , that was a good enough reason for me...We soon found out airports dont like David, we then let time pass in the pub next to Mac-Donalds. We eventually ended up at the hostel at around 7ish. When we walked into the hostel nothing but girls, kching! is what popped into our heads. We had pre-drinks and suited up! We ended up at a club called 21 which to me makes no sense as there were girls as young as fourteen in there (R Kelley club) but the beer was cheap and a few people got lucky! ( not mentioning any names :) we then had a group of very \"dirty\" young Norwegian girls in our room later that evening or should I say that morning( it just so happened some were from Ashford and 2 were even from Marsh Academy in New Romney, what are the chances?) an overall excellant night though.
Day 2
Started off with a hangover and no water in the hostel meaning no shower.., we had a tour planned but missed it only by an hour, so we planned our own unique one, which was just random walking in the cobbled streets of Dublin.We took our team spirit to a new level, with all the guys purchasing a pair of bright red stylish 3 euro sunglasses from Penny\'s. These glasses did more than just attract attention they were PIMPing. We had lunch at the church which is a resturant by day and a stylish club by night. Later we proceeded to the Boomerang, where my glasses got \"stolen\" by a very special looking Irish girl, but I wasnt the only one :). There was also a very special bond formed between 2 of our group.. (censored). We ended up at Ricks Burger takeout where there was loads of amusement. We met two french girls whose ltalian wasn\'t to bad as pierpaolo soon found out.
Day 3
Survival of the fittest! The people who weren\'t to hungover slept in, while the rest of us went in search of the Grande Guinness Store House, what an experience. A 10min walk turned into an hour and a half thanks to our tour guide Djoeni very scenic though. There is a tasting section in Guinness which we all took advantage of - mostly Jen, until Octavio got busted for being to greedy. The history and the tour was very interesting and the view from the top 360 glass bar magnificent, topped off with a free pint of Gusiness - and you have a great combination. That night we got \"suited\" up and headed for the great Temple Bar, we started off in a very Irish Pub then moved onto Club Sin which wasn\'t very Sinful, we then went to club M where we were on the guestlist kching! Club M was great besides for Pierpaolo causing fights lol.
Day 4
We all woke up feeling kinda hungover, but some more than others...
We decided to do the 3 hour walking tour of Dublin with good old Barry (the tour guide) very interesting character I must say, our tour only lastest 2 hours I think, we ended up in a Kebab resturant? my stomach suffered a little I have to admit. We then boarded the plane for a really dodgy flight. But what an amazing time we all had. There are loads more interesting things that happened.... but what happens in Dublin stays in Dublin.
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.

As a recent graduate from South Africa, I felt I lacked practical experience in my field of studies. For quite a few months I had been working in a job and just felt it wasn't challenging me enough, so I began to ask myself the question, what can I do to change this? I went online and did some research, and was immediately attracted to the internship UK programme.
My friends and family had suggested to me about doing an internship as it is both enjoyable and academically rewarding plus it looks really good on your CV/resume. When I went onto the website I was overwhelmed by the testimonials which were filled with so much positive energy, friendly and lively people that it was just so hard not to apply.
My interview was done in New Romney, I arrived at Ashford International and then took the old blue bus which I think was number 11 or 711 through some special looking villages and old Romney. Some of the thoughts that were running through my mind as we were driving on that old narrow road which was next some what of a stream was "Where the hell am I?". But as the bus reached New Romney a feeling of warmth struck me, an attractive ancient village with many old buildings, a sleeping gem... full of charm. Avril conducted my first interview and she made me feel right at home after some grueling intimidation, the second interview was with Dino.
My goals during my internship are to expand my skills in all aspects ideally marketing and sales. Other areas I look to improve in is communications. Seeing all the different cultures I think is going to be really fascinating to me.
I cant wait to see what the future - studios92 as to offer me.
