birthday weekend and NYC

birthday was a lovely day! lots of cards in the post which made me feel very loved on the day, and from what Iv been told some present to look forward to over xmas aswell, THANKS :)

me and maurits had a shared birthday night out, as seemed the best things to do. Went to a BYO whihc was lovely, recommended my roommate, I think the should bring the ideas of BYO's to england more, makes going for a meal sooo much cheaper! :)

we then went from the meal to Smokes, the second time using my actauly id to enter the place so that feels good, no more stressing about been underage, although havnt actually had many issues, as places around campus are pretty good. :)


then for a fun filled weekend in NYC!!

me tanya and Catherine went on the thursday after class, had dinner at bubba gump which was lovely. Friday we went up the empire state and then me and tanya went on the GOssip girl tour! was such a fun way to see the city, and meant that you actually saw a hell of a lot of it aswell. that night we went for dinner with JOsh and Nick who came that day, ate at TGI' s which was a let down but hey.. you learn by doing.
Satrday we were joined by Jordan Stacie and Kira, went to pier 17 whihc was lovely, some of us went to Greenwich village, i bailed as was way to cold! Visited Ground Zero. and went ice skating at the rockerfeller centre, we had planned on goin up it, but was way way to busy and there was high chance of missing the bus home had we done so. Maybe not the best thing to do the week before finals happen... but given the choice again i would still go. was an amazing way to spend my 21st birthday. thanks to everyone who helped make it special :) and yes mum... i did take sandy the sodding camel around newyork.. just for you.

thanksgiving in boston

well where to start!

a very long bus ride down.. whihc yes i did sleep the majority off. im starting to feel that my ability to sleep is making these long bus rides a lot more bareable than they otherwise maybe would be.

Arrived late on wednesday and had a little walk around, then just got settled into the hostel.. which was very nice. 4 signal beds and a sink in our room, for $80 for 3 nights you cant really complain!

Thanksgiving day.. did the freedom trail, 3.5mile walk around boston historic sites, lot of the city and definatly the best way of doing in. was extremely cold tho! very very cold... i am starting to feel very unprepared for the winter over here.



then black friday... SHOPPING! got myself a camera, well a 21st present :) so expect a lot more photos on here from now on. 3 fantastic days in a absolutly beautiful city! definatly have to revisit!! but maybe in the summer when its a little less cold!
