22 Days.

Only 23 days to go!  Without work or anything though it still seems kind of far away.  Although people from our little Disney group are starting to leave now, so I'm sure time will start to speed right along!  Almost in to the teens!!  We have come along way for the 200+ days.  I'm not even going to be there for 200 days.  Thats a scary thought.  It's actually 198 days until I am back!

The only things left are paying for Travel Insurance and converting to US $$$ but I think I'm too scared to bite the bullet.  Today might just be the day!.  I think I'm going to go with 1 Cover, considering I'm already doubling up on the Disney Insurance. 

There's really not much else going on, but I feel like I haven't updated in forever!

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...
