Visa - Ah-proved!

38 Days!!  Eeek!

It actually still kind of seems a decent amount of time away.  Especially now without work, and I think one last week of interning.  Then my interning days are over.   Crazy.

I did get my Visa approved on Wednesday and got it back on Friday (they take your passport, to put your visa in it)  which is great, because I've now booked/paid for my hotel accommodation,  my Disney fees, Disney Insurance all that's left is my insurance.  Just need some time to work out what is the best.

So getting the visa was rather pain free, despite the chronic waits.  I was second last for the day, everyone else's interviews (all 50+ of them) seemed to take at least 10 minutes.  Mine was literally 2 minutes.  Maybe it was the fact that I was practically the last one, who knows.  But it's done, and it's official.  I'm going to America!

I also registered for a Disney Class.  I chose exploring leadership, it will be two hours every week for eight weeks.  It's more a seminar type thing, so its not college level, but I didn't want it to eat into sight seeing, day off times.  I was really tempted to do corporate analysis, which is college level  but thats three hours, for 13 weeks and includes homework and assessments and I don't want that sort of commitment.  Especially since I've graduated and have a job.  I am looking forward to the leadership class.

Apart from all this, the countdown continues...

45 Days!!!

I have been terribly slack in posting anything so I'm guessing by the time I get to Disney this blog will be all but extinct.

Anyway, I was going to post a few weeks back (but got lazy) because I met up with some lovely Sydney Disney people!  We went to pancakes on the rocks and proceeded to have desert before enjoying the vivid festival!  Everyone is super lovely and we never really ran out of things to talk about!  I'm sure I will appreciate knowing  a few faces and not just facebook faces when the nerves kick in!

Speaking of nerves, so far they don't exist - which is good.  I think its still that nice distance away that its still a nice surreal sort of dream but close enough to be exciting.  Once it gets to the packing stage things might change.  I'm at the sorting stage currently, today I went through my wardrobe and tossed out an entire garbage bag of clothes and got my coat hangers in order.  Making room for all the additional american clothing purchases.

I've also decided in purchasing  a new suitcase.  Mines big, but I want a huge one to fit everything I want to bring home.

Hmm apart from that Visa interview is on Wednesday - so it will be nice to get that sorted and thats about it!!


p.s. still no Telstra contract.  rage.
