Two weeks in...

The Letz Live Group- Day 1

I am two weeks into my time at RMS (my school). So at my school i work 5 days a week. I work in a boarding house called Connaught which has girls from 14-17 in it and i help look after them either in the morning and i have to wake them up and then go to breakfast with them, then bring them back, then they go to school and i sort out their washing ect. Then i also work in Alpha which is the photocopy room and i do that for a few hours 2 days a week and i also help in performing arts doing some odd jobs for them. and i work alternate sat or sun and i might get to go on field trips with them.

Amy, Kirstie and I- Day 1

In my time off i have been reading, trying to play guitar :), facebook, skype when i can. I have the same day off as the other gappy in my house Blayne- she is from Canada so we have been into London last week and saw wicked in the avo and did some sight seeing such as seeing St Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge and then we went to an English pub for lunch. Then today we went to Harrow a near by town did some shopping and yes, much to me not wanting to saw Harry potter, but i must admit it was ok. I did enjoy it. I have also been to Camden markets with some other gappys which was great. I have also been into Hillsong London twice which was great but not knowing anyone was hard.

Katelyn and I- London, Day 2

I also got to meet up with my friend Katelyn from the Gold coast who used to live over here but was over there on a holiday, We had a nice avo shopping on Oxford Street. I am enjoying my time, which i have lots of. I have been good and have been going to the gym and keeping my room tidy. There are 8 gappys altogether which are lovely. There is Rachel which is in the room next door and she is from the Gold Coast, then there is Blayne from Canada, Cami from Ecuador, Annie and Jo from NZ, then there are two others from China who are a bit older. I am enjoying spending time with them and we have been out together which was fun.

My School- RMS

I live in a flat by myself which is nice. It is quiet big. The food here is great, but there is so much of it all the time. The staff are nice and the students are warming up to me. I am now busy planning my holidays, i am hoping to go to Ireland in Feb with some other gappys from Lets Live and also catch up with some friends from Sydney and Bathurst on other weekends.

London

My wonderful friends at the airport!

Hello, and welcome to my GAP year blog.
So the flight, it was long and tiring. It was hard to sleep but I watched 4 movies and read my lovely letters from all the beautiful people who wrote them for my book.
Spend the first day in London sight seeing and saw most of the big things. We did heaps of walking.
Today we have a few talks, then see some more of London and do some shopping. I have put photos on my Facebook.
