Sie Girls, I have a friend called Mitchel who lives in NY city who would know how to get cheap theatre tickets today if you want them. You HAVE to go see Wicked at the Grisham if you go. Listen, e-mail me if you get this today, Mitchel will sort out the tickets if you wanna go. Wicked will make you cry. It's the most musical ever. Love you Si xx

thomas Welcome home! I have just read pretty much all of your journal entries in one go, and viewed your lovely photographs! :P So basically I have missed your entire trip lol. I messaged before you left, and now after you've returned. I'm sure you're not at all suprised by this. Anywayyyy, looks like you had a brilliant time :) Actually sounded like you were pretty homesick while you were away, but now you're home I bet you wish you were back over there?! Hope you're both well and not too jetlagged, t xx

Sie Hey gurlies, Happy birthday Laurz for the other day, I would make an excuse like the other guys on here for being late but I'm an honest guy so I don't mind telling you I just forgot lol. Still looks like you're having a wicked time and i'm so glad you're making some friends out there and not just keeping yourselves to yourself. Sam this trip and uni has done wonders for you. You've come a long way since the shy finger-sniffer you were at school. Also GREAT to see you in a dress, i always thought your knobbly knees were your most endearing feature. Anyhow, will catch up later. Look after each other, love to you both and kisses to Teebs. Si xx
