Nicki T Hi Annie, How are you? Haven't really looked on here for a while sorry, I've been working quite a bit recently temping etc but thought I'd have a look at what you've been up to!! Still sounds amazing, was just reading some of your journal entries to my mum, we're both slightly envious!! You always seem to have so many things to say, bet time is flying by, hope you are still enjoying it! As Rach said we went out for Alyx's on friday which was well good, you were missed though of course!! And I also didn't feel too pretty on Saturday, but still managed to work lunchtime and 6 til 9 and go out! Rachel and I are working stuffing envelopes tomorrow and thursday, being a graduate isn't all it's cracked up to be! I'd stay travelling and being a student for as long as possible if I were you! It's nice earning a bit of money though to be fair! Anyway, hope you and the other girls are still having a wonderful time. Look after your pretty self and see you soon my love. XxXxX

rach hawk oh my god i am sooooooooo jealous!! i wanna be in the amazon and i especially wanna go white water rafting!!! its amazing isn't it! just had a look at your photos and they're great, that street entertainer looked rather interesting! very funny. we all went out last night for alyx's birthday and had an amazing night! i'm rather hungover today (as i'm sure the others are as wel!) and not to sound like too much of a granny but my knees are bloody killing from all the dancing!! i just cant hack it anymore! lol!! i'm back from torquay now and i'm trying to find a job, which is great fun as you can imagine, however i am very skint so i really want to start working anywhere asap. so it sounds like you are really loving your time travelling, make the most of this last month!! woo, cant wait to see you when you're back and hear all your amazing stories! miss you loads! speak to you soon. xxxx

Vicky Jo!!!! Can't believe you're somewhere in the Amazon! I bet it's amazing! I'll be here on Gran Canaria (sounds SO not exotic in comparison!) ready to translate any Spanish for you if you need me! I might be able to pull off some portuguese too, if required! hehe HAVE FUN! PS. dont forget to pack a couple of brazilians into your suitcase! PS. you better have some good stories when you get back, to liven up lectures next year!

Jo I knew you were having far too much fun! Come back to England now and be miserable!!!! Terracotta warriors you lucky thing! My inner history nerd is eternally jealous! Same old same old back home, really wish you were here so I could drag you off to Starbucks for a mochafrappucino rant about the crapness of uni accomodation offices, the student loans people and working all night Hardcore events at the Academy...getting covered in Chav spit was just one of the highlights of the evening! But still its one step closer to becoming the band groupie I've always wanted to be and now I get VIP at Brixton.....so you'll just have to come back home and be my plus one! Miss you like I haven't seen you in nine months.....(!?!?) Jo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (P.S. Don't forget to climb Manchu Pitchu and get a stamp in your passport!)
