Another sad last song!!

Jeez these things get harder the further on you get!! This time it was Amy and Graham. These 2 have looked out for me since day one!! we just bonded together so well!! Im truly gutted they are leaving as the place wont be the same, they were very very popular here so it's going to be noticed when they go! Then Gary goes too which is sad because hes a really good lad.. a pain in the ass but he means well. Kirsty is going too she is awesome such a nice girl and so random. My ex chairman and my initiator leave which totally sucks coz lads stick together! All in all its sad to see this lot go because some of the biggest personalities here go and im gonna miss all of em in a different way but rest assured guys... im headed to Glasgow when i get home!!

Gettin my lads shirt!

Tonight was not only Neil, Graham and Ians last lads for good!! It was also the night i got my Lads name and my Lads shirt! My Lads name is Floater because during initiations ( without giving much away) we had to jump in the pool. It was quite possibly the coldest night since iver been here. It must have been close to zero degrees and i cant swim.. this went unnoticed for ages but at a throw out somebody threw me out a life jacket because i cant swim. During initiations i floated for a while and then decided it would be best to walk the length of the pool.. so theres the story. Initiations was one of the hardest things ever but im so glad i did it.. Now im finally a UK Lad!!

Random day out!!

Today was my day off during my week of hell at work so i took the time to do some stuff that makes me really smiley!! Firstly we went to the Polynesian resort for lunch. We had this cool hawaiian cuisine it was very very good and surprisingly cheap too!! 3 courses for 25 bucks!! Then my fave thing in the entire world SPEEDBOATING!! yay! we did speedboating for about an hour.. it was such a gorgeous day the weather has been really bad lately but today was hot and sunny! We got told off for dangerous driving in our speedboats by some stupid man! after that we went to the beach at the resort and chilled for a bit and also hit the pool!! Very fun! Then we went to the Grand Floridian and randomly bumped into none other than the fairy godmother.. lovely woman.. heart of gold! had such fun really cheered me up! hopefully have a fun day like this tomorrow too if its sunny!!

Finally!

Ive finally been initiated into lads... im not allowed to let people know what goes on at initiations so im not going to post any pictures or anything. Lets just say during it one guy quit another guy had to stop because he had some sort of hyperthermia attack thing (by the way he was awesome he is a legend) and i must ahve thrown up a good 10 times easily. After it was all over though i felt so proud to say im now a UK lad and i get my shirt and lads name very soon!! If you would have seen what we had to do you would be so proud!!

last song in the rose and crown

Another tradition in the UK is a last song for all the restaurant staff in the pub. Leon our performer always does it.. he plays leaving on a jetplane but changes the words so it personal.. very sad stuff!! its sooo weird because ive seen 3 or 4 and never been that bothered but now its my best mates it was horrible i was fine just singin along takin pics and then i saw Amy cry.. shes like a steel bitch nothing gets her so seeing that set me off and then i set someone else off... fun!! it was very emotional but they are happy to be going. Ive made 2 amazing friends this year and i will definatly not be losng touch with either of them its just poo that i couldnt go with them!! heres to anohter 7 months.. ill miss you guys!! Pics : All our lot gathered in the pub to say goodbye, the leavers and us in a circle, Sally and the certificate Rob (our manager) made for her, Gaynor trying to hide her tears with a cheesy smile, Lou not doing very well hiding the tears, Sally bar queen taking in her last time behind the bar at the Rose and Crown, Weezie and her certificate from Rob, Gaynor and Sal with their certificates and finally Weezie and Leon having one last little sing song!

Gaynor, Sal and Jennas last jellyrolls :(

Rather emotional night!! We started early at 9 which is early for jellyrolls we usually get there after 11. So We all headed down and decided that we needed to be the most drunk people there... by god we were!!!!! we had so much fun i was absolutely hammered by 11.30. Its a tradition in the UK to have a last song which is time of your life by Greenday. So we had that and it was a really bad effort by the pianist which really sucked! But then they played the uk lads song.. Tiny Dancer by Elton John and it just set us all off!! i was a blubbering wreck for about 10 minutes... Amy looked after me though which made it a little better!! Pics: Jenna and myself decided we take good pics together and i needed one for my scrapbook, Myself, Andy and Charis messing about, Amy giving me a lovely smile (shes been a legend this week!) and Dallas doing a sexy wee pose!! Im gonna miss her loads!!
