Power Hour!
So for those of you who do not know what Power Hour is you have to drink a shot of beer every minute for an hour! equaling about 6 bottles of beer! Was quite an eventful night,
Saturday was spent watching Sex and the City DVD's all day as was a little bit hung over!
Saturday night was Alison's last night in the city before she goes to the Ukraine to join the Peace Corps so we had a 3 hour limo ride round New York City, which was fantastic.
Sunday again spent all day watch DVD's!

This Week end I.....
Friday, Georgie came round and we sat and drank wine and watched DVDs
Saturday we discovered that it was free entry between 10 and 12 at the Brooklyn Botanical gardens. Fortunately the weather was really nice as it does keep raining her really heavily at the moment. After doing some thing cultural and free we hit the shops and I bought some new clothes. If I have to come home I am coming home wit ha bit of New York Style!!!
In the evening we met up with Kelsey and some of her friends and Jenny – a new PEM from Ireland!! Whohoo we are taking over slowly but surely! We all went out in the East Village and drank quite a bit.
We were at this bar/restaurant and to use the bathroom you hade to get a code to enter into the door to go downstairs. The bathrooms were at the end of this room, where a comedy show was being held, so you had to walk past the show and just hope that he’d didn’t decide to target you!!!!
Sunday, I went to his huge flea market that sold EVERYTHING, it was amazing, total visual overload but lots of ideas for Christmas.
Then went to Blockheads where they do amazing frozen Margaritas
Yesterday at work was madness, an eblast had been sent out so had loooooooads of work!

Extended Birthday week!
Well last week was pretty exciting.
We were on the roof and saw a fire truck arrive outside our building and then another...And another!!! We had about 30 firemen in our building, some one had left the gas on. Fortunately everything was ok and we got to see lots of fire men!
Friday night was the house warming / belated birthday party. It was really good fun from what I can remember. We had about 20+ people come so fortunately we can get on to our roof as our apartment is only little!!
It was all good gun and there were 5 British people which was exciting. Lisa and Cass were over on "vacation" and Georgie is being interviewed for a job so her and a friend came it was great!!
Saturday I went to Coney Island again and went to the aquarium which was really good actually. There was this huuuuuuuuge walrus who blew kisses to you. We also saw a sea lion show which was really good too. Lots of bratty American kids though. They are sooo obnoxious! When I find my rich American husband mine will be well trained!!
Saturday night me and Georgie just hung out as we shattered from the party the night before - and still a bit hung over!!
Then on Sunday we mooched around central park and there was this big market on that stretched from like 87th street tooo way way down.
Also accidently called some one in the UK on my cell phone - oops!!
I walk past this oldish guy on the way to work in the morning and we all ways say hello, now he has long conversations with me and insists on calling me Joyce no matter how many times I tell him my name is Joss. He told me he is on jury service next week so he will miss me!! It's so funny!
So pretty exhausting and exciting week, this one might be a bit calmer - who knows - you never do with New York!

My Birthday!
Well, my first Birthday in New York was a wet, chilled a relaxing day.
Bonnie and Tyler took me to Brunch where I had strawberry pancakes and Mimosa - which et the scene for the rest of the day.
Janelle, Brooke and Cass came round and through out the afternoon we worked our way through nearly 5 types of ice cream and numerous cheesy DVD's. Next Weeks we are having a birthday/house warming party at the apartment as well, plus I still have cards etc to arrive so my birthday is not over yet!
I was thinking last night though how lucky I was. I some how managed to be offered this fantastic job in New York - as if that wasn't exciting enough. Then the people I work with are so kind and loving and made the transition over here so much easier. There have been a few hard times where I have thought what I am doing here but they all helped me through it.
Then I managed to find amazing rooms mates who are so lovely and again are always there for me. I have only be here for nearly 2 months and I have managed to make such good friends and been so lucky that surely it has to run out soon!!!
I miss everyone at home but the people I have met have made it easier and just excited for when you guys come over to met them. Occasionally I will just be sitting on the bus or waiting for the subway and I will be like what the hell!!! I'M IN NEW YORK!!! It is so bizarre I never in a million years thought this was where my life would go! I am so grateful for this opportunity, its amazing I feel like I am doing some worth while. I leave a lot of answer phone messages but you get that one volunteer who is so excited to volunteer with CCS it makes it worthwhile. Coz it has literally changed my life!!!!
I have learnt just to grab what ever happens as you only live once, sometimes it can be hard decision but what ever is meant to be will be so just enjoy everything while it happens!
I want to say thank you to my friends and family back in the UK for supporting me in the very crazy and very quick decision. And also a big thank you to everyone at CCS for making me so welcome when I literally just turned up with no where to go and Bonnie and Tyler for being fab roommates
well enough of the cheese it sunny so I can go out!!!!!
