Soooo world,
Things are starting to happen. I officially handed in my resignation - last day 18 June!! Three more rosters to come out and about 14 more shifts to do! I've already been sent my exit survey and a list of things I need to do before I get my last pay check. Mostly washing the ridiculous amount of uniform I've accumulated over the last 3 years. Thanks Mum!
And in other BIG Disney related news, I've booked my VISA appointment!!! Yayyyy - although it's still forever away - 20 June. Kind of wish I had booked it for earlier, so I could get everything else organised, but I have so much stuff going on that it's just going to have to wait until then. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly. So far no one in the Disney group has had any issues so I think I'll be fine!
The Starlight Five Chefs Dinner is next Thursday!! So finally all the months of (unpaid)work will have paid off and we can see it all come together. That will be a HUGEE day! But I'm looking forward to it!
Following that, on the Friday we are all having a Sydney catch up (it was meant to be Saturday originally but a few people including myself can't make it, so there will be one on both Friday and Saturday). It will be nice to put some faces to facebook.
I guess that is the next week in a nutshell! Then we are into June and only 2 months to go!!! Just waiting on my Telstra contract - then we are all set for the next 2.5 years. Scary!!

Facebook.
So here is the fabulous thing about social media- it has given me the ability to get to know people before I even get to Disney.
The not so fabulous thing about social media - it has given me the ability to get to know people before I even get to Disney.
I have had this blog post in drafts for a while a wasn't sure if I should post it - don't want to start something before I've even gotten to Disney, but I don't want the blog to be just all about the good and neglect the bad.
A lot of people have have told mr all the things that could go wrong and what will I do then. But I think that's part of the whole experience and I'll learn something regardless.
This may be a lesson in first impressions aren't always right, however....
Some people on our facebook group are just retarded and I have no idea how they are going to survive six months to a year abroad, nor how I am going to survive with them.. Haha ahh. (That said though, there are A LOT of lovely people who I would love to get to know, but this post isn't about them).
Maybe it's just the way the written word on facebook comes across, but I'm seriously concerned about the possibility of having to be one of these peoples roommates. My idea of leaving it up to Disney fate may not be the smartest. What's better? Settling for someone who will at least be tolerable in the very least, or going with the flow and having the possibility of living with people who drive me crazy.
Anyway, I could be wrong, I hope I'm wrong, but at the same time I'm not naive enough to think that we would all get along like happy campers , I too will probably drive people up the wall, but at least I try to refrain from being too annoying.
Haha there are about 3 people who I think I'll clash with, if I do I'll do another post. Who knows, maybe I'll be best friends. lolz.

Bad Blogger
Ahhh I can't even remember the last time I updated or what I said in the last update. So for that I apologise (to all my millions of readers).
Anyway my excuse is... drum roll.. I got into a graduate program!!!! Wooo!!
This means that when I come back from Disney - 23/01/13 for those of you playing at home. I will have a job to come back to! Starting two weeks later! Screams!!!
Yeah so I will be working at Telstra in their graduate development program.
So that is my excuse as to why I have not updated in forevers!
Anyway I did get my pack - not sure if I mentioned that, I got it the day I was going to my assessment centre for the grad program. Which was the first delay in doing anything with it. Then everything kind of kept piling on and I still haven't submitted my Visa application. I think I will have to do that tomorrow.
Apart from that nothing else has really happened. I'm waiting for my Visa approval before i book insurance/accomodation/housingfees etc. So until then everything is on hold.
Starlight has been getting busier. The event is only two weeks away so lots of stuff needs to be done.
In more exciting news, now that I know I have a job, I know when I will be resigning from Club Central. 19 of June 2012! Will hand in my official resignation on Thursday!
In other news, I've been stalking disney blogs, and came across a college program one, of a sixty-something year old who did the college program. SHe managed to update every single day. Little posts. If I did a little bit everyday it wouldn't seem like such an overwhelming task. Haha I doubt I could keep up but maybe I should try.
Anyway that is all for this post!
