Mon 26 Aug: Today was nice and easy - I had a lay in until the delivery driver woke me up . I then got the spare room ready for someone renting it out for a few days. From there I popped to the bank and accidentally went into a couple of shops.. BUT I got bargains! I got a bracelet for $4 (which I want from every country I go to).. I then got a really pretty dress for $4 in a closing down sale! See.. bargain, and won't take up much room in my case . I then met ...

Sun 25 Aug: Today was a nice chilled out day - I had a nice lay in and then took a walk through Central Park.. I'd been told it was a huge park but I didn't quite expect that!

Sat 24 Aug: I had a really cool day today - travelled to two different states.

We then took a stroll around the university, I can't believe how big...

Fri 23 Aug: What a day! I finally dragged myself out of bed at around 9 (definitely over my jetlag now!). I started my day by going to the 9/11 memorial. It has some amazing views but boy it was sad . I'm not even from America, this is my first time in the country, but I couldn't help but feel upset. To know that where I was standing so many people had died and so many people had lost a big part of their life on this one day.. I couldn't stay there too long, I...

Thur 22 Aug: I had a pretty awesome day today Even if it didn't start off that way... So I went to the shop to stock up on food and drink for my day out at the beach. Before I got to the shop round the corner it started to rain. I went into the supermarket, got a big pack of crossiants and 2 bottles of water.. As I was walking towards the subway station this guy stopped me and said "Can I have a croissant? And your number..?" I told him I have a boyfriend and ...
