Finish Line

Well.... it's that time of year again when summer surrounds you and all you want to do is chillax but work beckons.... Only one week of placement left (well even less to be honest because of other shit). Although I will be sad I am happy the 9 weeks has flown by and I can catch up with friends since I haven't seen much of them since my birthday :)

After spending over a 100 quid on a interview outfit- although it was worth every penny and extremely lush- my American pot went down slightly lol.... Over the weekend I have found out some exciting news that I am off to IBIZA!!! I am so mega excited it's unreal and my pre-tan before America will be awesome!! I cannot wait to soak up the rays and chill out with a few bevvys by the pool.....

At the risk of sounding philosophical I have been asking myself many questions in life lately... like: How men look so different and almost foreign with more facial hair and why 'cooooey' is an unacceptable way in society to say hello!!....

Moving on......

3 weeks today until holiday 1 and  4 weeks tomorrow till American fun timmmmessss :D :D :D yipppeeee.... and so the count down begins ....

Now im off to put on me shorts and sexy sun specs and soak up some rays whilst enduring my last weekend of planning for a while!!....

'Teenage Dream'

OK so after a phone call from the Kent I have realised how little time there is between now and America!! 3 weeks of placement and some exciting weeks catching up with friends, chilling and working....

Cannot believe how tired and ready for a holiday I am now and how bloody desperate I am for a teaching job!!.... but on the upside I smell nice with my new Gucci perfume and have a wee cheeky smile on my face to keep me going...

I have a large cross roads in my life where I wish someone would make the decision for me what to do!..... Apart from getting married to Jenni in Vegas and bringing back a shit load of mountain dew the uncertainty is killing me. However, after a long serious of conversations this weekend I have found out that haggis definitely isn't a two legged creature running around and that I was being rather blonde to think that Scotland had border control as they are now their own country!.... Least my pronunciation of Scottish place names are much better than Miss Kent's who believes Scottish place names are pronounced with a lisp!

To conclude this blog I would like to share my recent observation that I'm not a fan of games; as I am a very bad looser with similar personality traits to Monica (from friends).....

P.s. Baby your fireworks!

Every Penny Counts!

OK!.... so the plans so far.....

Leaving Newcastle at 6.15am on the 25th of July to arrive at Chicago around 3pm next day.We're spending approximately 2/3 days here and moving onto Arizona for a week or so. From here were off to Vegas for 3/4 days and of to California: Spending time at San Fran, LA, Napa Valley, Disneyland (!!!) etc. Leaving here we will be getting a flight to Rhode Island and spending time along the coast, Boston and NYC!

We have the attractions of Alcatraz, an open top car, wine tasting, grand canyon amongst loads of other stuff to look forward to....

4 Weeks of placement and job hunting and then I am off to have the most amazing time ever!! I am so excited to see my friends out there and experience new things- although I should warn my fellow friends and family of the English Heritage to be prepared for a 10 stone Tessa returning!

My First Blog

I thought I would try this out as I think it would be a good way for friends and family to follow what I am upto in USA! I have to say I have copied Helen with this and I will see how it works out.... not convinced I will stick with it. I'm not as hard core as Helen and delete my facebook account haha!!
