The Week Jo Came To Play & More

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, feel like I haven't stopped since. So the past month has been rather busy, esp as I had a visit from my sister and her friend :) So they arrived on the Friday and I had the day off which was lucky and we had decided to go to downtown for some dinner, and to my surprise Jo arrived with the best goodie bag I could have asked for with being half way through my programme. It contained magazines, blackcurrant juice (which I had been missing greatly), 1kg of Dairy Milk, jammie dodgers and a lovely links charm of the parentals for my graduation :) We went for dinner at Paradse 37, then did a bit of shopping, before jetlag took its toll on Jo and Hannah and it was time to head home. On the saturday morning, it was an early start as we were heading to Animal Kingdom after a morning of playing and seeing the animals, I had to go to work, which meant that Jo and Hannah were left to themselves in Epcot. On the sunday we were off to Blizzard Beach, so after doing my washing, I headed off to meet them. But after an hour and 1 slide, the rain came down so it was time to leave! So we headed to the art of animation resort to have a nose round.... 





















On the Monday, it was my graduation day which meant it was time to spend the day at Magic Kingdom :) We had a table booked at Cinderella's Royal Table, which was very exciting. We got to meet the 5 main princess' and also eat an amazing meal (can't believe my mother has never taken us before). After a few rides, it was time to go home as I was slightly hungover :( 
Tuesday was the day I have been waiting for since I got here, Universal and time to go back to school!!! As most of you know, Harry Potter is like my favourite thing ever and even though I have been before it still as magical as ever!! Jo and Hannah did find it very ammusing about how excited I actually was to get there, but I can't believe I hadn't been yet. I was even lucky enough to get an annual pass at discounted rate :) We went to both parks and stayed to watch the Universal nighttime show, which was pretty impressive. 
On Wedensday, it was time to revisit Jo's place of work, which she was very excited for! And was great as she had some good connections and we didn't have to queue for any of the big rides! Unfortanately I had to go to work, so I left Jo and Hannah to play in Hollywood, whilst I went off to work. 
Thursday I had to work again so, I left them to their own devices. And on Friday we went for breakfast in Boma at the Animal Kingdom lodge before Jo had to catch the plane home! We had a great week together and she treated me to some nice things and it was great to see her, although it went very qucikly! 

Since then it's been a lot of working, tanning and playing! I'm pretty sure that I've been going out more in the past 3 months that I did my whole last year of uni. Seems to be a rountine of going to HOB on a sunday and Bdubs on a wed... Loving life far too much at the moment haha! We also took on the challenge of the Kitchen Sink, which was so funny! Ended up with a food fight and us getting very strange looks! 

I now have 3 weeks left of my programme, I literally can't believe how quickly time is going! I'm so glad that I'm not coming home straight after my progamme, I have the joyest thing of my bezzie Miss Sutton coming out and joining me and Vicky to travel round the west side of the country :) 

I've already had to say goodbye to some of the best people ever, and I'm dreading having to say goodbye to the patty girls and ryan, and my roommates, seems like we have still just arrived. Hopefully I will stay in touch with all of them! 

I promise to try and update as much as possible over the next 3 weeks. Esp for Mish, Kerry and Steph who have been nagging me to update for weeks haha :) 

See you all very soon
