Day 2: Confused, jet lagged and couldn't find a Starbucks

Today started early for me as I woke up at 4:30am feeling like it was midday, I'm not great at adjusting to different time zones! I dozed in bed til about 8:00am and then Tom woke up and we started planning our day! 
We decided to go to the American Museum of Natural History, so we set off immediately, having decided that the hotel breakfast wasn't for us. Wrong choice. By the time we got into Manhattan we were starving! We got off the metro at Central Park and we couldn't find anywhere to get food, not a Starbucks in sight!! Heartbreaking. Stomachs rumbling we headed straight to the museum in hopes there would be a cafe there. We bought our tickets and quickly located the food court for brunch. Then it was time to explore the museum! We bought a general ticket that also included all the special exhibitions which were amazing! Our favourite was the Dark Universe exhibition which was a short documentary in the planetarium dome. It was pretty sciencey and really made me think about things!
 

After thoroughly exploring all the exhibitions in the museum, we headed back to Times Square for a bit of retail therapy! Tom bought his first ever Subway and I've become addicted to Iced Coffee! 


We went into a giant Hershey's store and bought some Jolly Ranchers for the long Metro ride back to the hotel! Now we are currently watching Masterchef USA #livingitup! Tomorrow we are going to the Statue of Liberty!!!

DC duck tour!!

Today we got up fairly early and went for the hotel breakfast. I had fruit loops, which were super weird and Tom had dodgy doughnuts!!  We went into the city and our first stop was Obama's place! Obviously Barack didn't get the memo that we were in town so sadly missed out on meeting us.  After seeing the White House we walked to Union station, with a bit of retail therapy and lunch on the way! I got a pretty top from Forever 21! We had lunch in Pret, I had a California club sandwich and Tom had a New York Meatball wrap!!  We got to the station and boarded our vessel for the DC duck tour! The captain was called Captain Bucky and he was hilarious, he told us a funny joke to do with porridge when we told him we were from Norwich!! The tour was awesome, a really great way to see all of DC's monuments and memorials and learn things about them in the process! There is definitely an added excitement when you get on to the water, although it was a bit scary when Captain Bucky let

Finished my degree!

Hey everyone, it's been a while! My last exam was on 4th June and I have now finished uni, which is mad. I'm starting full-time at Weatherquest on 1st July, so am making the most of my free time before then. Sadly it's not as fun as it sounds, I've been doing life admin, cleaning and organising! Since I wrote my last blog post in early May, life has been mostly revision, but I'm gonna post some pictures of my favourite moments. Below is Elin and I having our first snakebites in the SU bar after an exam (only 4 years late!). During the middle of May, Tom and I ran the Pretty Muddy Race for Life, in aid of Cancer Research. Tom filmed the whole thing, you can watch it here ! For Elin, Mollie and I's birthdays we went to Haggle, a Turkish restaurant in Norwich. It was awesome and so lovely to dress up. We then went to my last ever (probably) Damn Good LCR night!!  Then it was my birthday (mid-exams) so I took the day off and went to the beach.
