My backpack which originally weighed 15kg seemed to gain weight by the time I checked in at the airport making it 18kg! It was those last minute bits... I am so going to suffer but at least I won't be without anything?! It was hard saying my goodbyes I ended up staying in the departure lounge with mama and Meral literally till the very last minute, I was actually the last person to board the plane, I had my name announced and everything!.. At take off I sniffled a little but the guy sitting next to me started choking on his [View Full Entry]

Only 17 days to go.... In turn I am seeing all my friends and saying my farewells. I know I'm only going for 6 months but I have never been away from my friends and family for more than 2 weeks!!!! People keep asking me 'am I excited' and to be honest I think I am more anxious than excited. I'm sure that once I've boarded the plane and it's about to take off that the excitement will kick in...

As you may or may not know last week I was in an Amateur production of the musical ‘Me and My Girl’ performed at the Marlowe theatre in Canterbury. I didn’t have a principle role just an all singing, all dancing, and all acting maid. I had imagined my costumes would have been some what more flattering but hey that’s show business for you.

Me and Dominika went on a girlie holiday to Mexico. We arranged it through work and got one of the best 5* hotels in Cancun called the Moon Palace for the price of peanuts. It was an amazing place; 2 large size pools, 12 restaurants, jacuzi in the bedroom... full of luxuries you didn't even have to flash the toilet, it did it itself!! We had such a good time, we did alot of sunbathing, drinking and dancing. We made an effort and did one day of sight seeing, we hired a Jeep and drove to Tulum. (I of course made [View Full Entry]
