End Of Week Three.

So this week was when I properly started teaching classes and to be perfectly honest I was totally bricking it! 

This week I've basically lived in trackies and hoodies so I've been looking like an absolute chav all the time!

I've been teaching some classes with either Chelsea, Alex or Joey and then I've been doing some on my own. It's really not as scary as I thought it'd be and I've actually really enjoyed it this week. 

I've been teaching 14+ and the amount of talent I've seen is actually unreal. 

This week I've also been doing some pole dancing lessons on the side as that's what I'll be teaching sometimes in New York. Literally it takes so much upper body strength so by the time it gets to Christmas I'm definitely gonna be stronger than I was before I came here. I really enjoy it though and I'm even tempted to buy a pole for my house in Wales just so I can keep practicing whilst I'm not out here. 

I am quite excited to go back home at Christmas and see everyone, especially my boyfriend. Christmas for me is like the time where everyone is in a couple and all loved up and this year I will be so I'm looking forward to it :) 

I go to New York on Friday which is where I'll be for the rest of my time up until December. On Saturday my little girl is finally coming to stay with me, safe to say I've missed her the most and I can't wait to see her! 

Today is my day off and tomorrow is a reset day which involves doing loads of fitness so I'm going to be knackered! 

So far I'm glad I've done this as I'm really enjoying it and I'm not as home sick as I thought I'd be, I just can't wait to get to New York now! 

End Of Week Two.

So this week has definitely been the hardest week ever. I've had ridiculously early mornings and late nights so I am totally exhausted. 

I've finally got my timetable for the rest of my time in Florida so at least I can plan things for days off and everything. Also I can have the odd night out which I shall look forward too! 

So basically everyday this week I've been down at the dance studio preparing choreography for classes and doing fitness. Honestly from start to finish I've been sweating like a bitch and it's made me realise I didn't go to the gym enough before I came out here! By Christmas I can guarantee I will have toned up so much and may even be on my way to getting some proper abs. On the plus side it means I can eat as much as I want when I get back home! 

We threw our first American house party last night, red cups included! It was pretty fun and didn't finish until 3am! 

Today has been my day off so I've basically been nursing a hangover by the pool and we also went to Florida Mall to do some shopping. In a little bit were going to The Olive Garden for dinner, that is honestly the nicest place in the world. The food is all Italian based and absolutely lush. 

So far I'm not missing home too much and it seems to be going really quickly being here. In less than two weeks ill be with my little girl and seeing my sister so I'm counting down the days! 

This next week should be more relaxed and I'm looking forward to actually teaching my own classes. I'm shitting it for tomorrow but I'm sure once I get into the swing of things ill be fine!

End Of Week One.

So I've decided to write a weekly post now because I won't have time to do anymore throughout the week. 

I've been in Florida now a week and if I'm honest this week has actually flown by. It feels like I was only getting on the plane yesterday. 

To kick the week off we all got 3 day Disney World tickets and went to all the parks. It was pretty tiring considering they are absolutely massive to walk round and we had early starts and late nights. 

We've also been round some of the malls out here and it's safe to say I've already spent a ridiculous amount of money on makeup and converse but it's cheaper here than it is in England, that's my excuse anyway! 

During the week our villa and it's estate had a power cut for about 5 hours, luckily it was still daylight but it was still bloody annoying! 

We've been out a few nights this week to meet up with the other dancers and to get to know the area better. Universal City Walk is my favourite place to go at the minute as its got some really cute bars and clubs. On our next day off hopefully we'll get a Universal Studios ticket so we can go there for a day and I also really really want to go to Harry Potter World again! 

Tomorrow is when things get serious and I start my training for all the dance classes and then later in the week I will actually start teaching! I'm excited but nervous about it because I don't want to fuck up. 

Next week will also mean I can't talk to people back home 24/7 like I have been doing. After being split up for just over a month, I am now back with my boyfriend and honestly I'm happier than ever. The break made me realise that I want to be with him forever and honestly I just love him to bits. These next few months will be a proper test for us but I'm willing to go through that. 

I get a bit jealous of watching Chelsea and Alex be all soppy together all the time and talking about their wedding, but at the end of the day, there are a lot of people out here who have relationships back at home and are missing their other halfs so we're all in the same boat. 

I want to carry on doing this and I'm not going to give up like I thought I would. It may be early days on the program but I'm looking forward to what the future holds and all the new people I'm going to meet! 

Bring it on! :D 

Finally Made It!

So I am writing this post in Kissimmee, Florida. It feels so surreal being here and I don't think it's properly sunk in yet. I am still ridiculously jet lagged so I'm waking up at like 4/5 in the morning over here. 

This week is just for all of us chilling out and getting ready for the next few weeks. So we got ourselves a 3 day pass for Disney World to make the most of it :) 

I'm glad I'm over here with the people that I am because they've helped me to kind of take my mind off stuff back home, I'm especially glad that my little brother is here with me too! 

Yesterday was the first day that we went to Disney and it has become Joey, Connor and Alex's aim to embarrass me and Chelsea at any opportunity they can get, whether it's blaming us for farting, play fighting with each other or their new favourite, doing their own version of 'bogies' but instead with the word vagina or bumhole. Considering they are 23, 22 and 17 (nearly 18) they're immature divs that have left me and Chelsea cringing and running away from them on multiple occasions! They also like running round the supermarkets in trollies and nearly crashing into things/people. I can tell that this trip will clearly be full of fun and games! 

Tonight we've all decided to go out to celebrate being here and meeting up with other people too, so we'll be going to the House of Blues for some cocktails. Hopefully staying out late will sort my jet lag out so I can sleep!! 

Anyway I won't bore you with anymore so yeah, have a nice day/night where ever you may be :) 

Today is the Day

So today is the day that I'll travel down to Gatwick and stay at a hotel so I'm all ready for the 11:15 flight tomorrow morning. This week has gone so fast and been full of so much. 

To end my last day in Wales until Christmas, I've decided that today ill spend it totally with family. So later, me and a few others are going to go and see the new One Direction film (yes I love them) and then have dinner at my Mum's later for a final goodbye meal and then off to the airport it is!

I'm all packed and ready to go so at least I don't have to stress all about that. 

The main thing I'm panicking about is how Faith is going to react when I say bye bye. It's crazy that after today I won't see her until the end of September, saying I'm going to miss her will be an understatement! Her Dad has been surprisingly nice recently and we've been getting on really well, he even gave me a letter the other day apologising for everything etc which I thought was quite nice. It certainly doesn't mean I'd get back with him though, leaving Wales is also closing the book on my whole relationship with him too which I'm definitely ready for, although he'll still fly out sometimes to see Faith. He's become a lot of a better Dad lately and sorted his life out. 

Today will definitely be full of emotional goodbyes but if there is ever a time where I desperately want to come back then I am allowed 3 weeks personal leave each year I'm on the program so at least I can use some of that. 

I've also been single for just a little over a month now but I don't even know if that really counts anymore because the way me and my ex talk its like we haven't even split up really. Just have to see if things change once I'm away. 

I'm honestly scared about going but I'm got my best friends so I'm sure ill be fine. I'm excited and nervous about going so until I get there I won't know what to expect. 

Wish me luck! 

Beginning of a New Life

So I haven't blogged for a while now because I've been busy packing boxes ready to go away and I also had a mini break to Maga with some friends that I hadn't seen for absolutely ages. 

Since my time in Cardiff is coming to an end pretty soon, I'm getting all emotional recently about leaving everyone behind when I go in a weeks time. 

All my family came together today for lunch and it was amazing to see everyone together, I won't get that again now until Christmas :(  There are so many people I'm going to miss when I go. 

Realising earlier that today marks a month of me being single has also hit me , although I still talk to my ex boyfriend a hell of a lot, because quite frankly I'm very much in love with him. As the term goes 'right love, wrong timing' I think that definitely applies to my situation right now. 

Since my daughter won't be joining me until the end of September, I am absolutely gutted because I'm going to miss her so so much but at least I'll have my brother with me from the very beginning. 

I am looking forward to starting my new adventure even though I'm upset about leaving people behind, but whatever happens is just meant to be. Ill get to meet some incredible people during the next 2 years and finally get to follow my dream. 

Obviously ill keep writing weekly updates of how everything is going whilst I'm away. It's crazy that I've only got a week left here and then bam, gone for 2 years. 

The Conjuring

So tonight I'm going to see a horror film called The Conjuring, I am absolutely shitting myself to be honest. I have read loads of things about it saying its the scariest horror film of the year, it's even worse because its based on true events!

I love going to see horror films and I love scaring myself but I hate going home afterwards because I think that every single thing is out to get me or that something is watching me. 

The worst thing about going is that I've just found out that I'm going to be home alone tonight, I am absolutely crapping my pants now! Honestly I will not sleep one bit, I'm going to try and get someone to stay over but I don't think anyone will :( 

Ill write a review on it later once I've seen it :)
