I made it!

Apologies, this entry is going to be All over the place, half of it was writtenon the plane, a third after no sleep for thirty plus hours, and the rest just then.


Blog entry one

So I hadn't left the airport and i had already accepted drugs from strangers. Drug of choice being a hot pink sleeping tablet with a name which I'm sure I've heard in the movies but cannot remember. Don't worry it didn't work.. There's only five hours left so there's still time but I highly doubt it.

When I write it like that it does sound kind of dumb however they were med students, Brian, lance and Brian. and their story all matched up so at the time it seemed like a good idea. (famous last words?) But they were all very nice, and killed the forty or so minutes we had to wait to board. They live near Disneyland!! Although they did say the novelty died off once they had to start paying for entry - lucky, I get in for free! Anyway most of them had been studying from '04, '05 and '06 but they won't graduate till 2015!!! Crazy so glad I'm done. They also said walmart is always good to boost lift self esteem. Imma check that out. Virgin also have a seat chat thing so you could chat during the flight so the last hour went by fast because it took so long to type on the weird controls.

Anyway the planes pretty empty which is lovely as the seat next to me is empty and the guy next to the empty seat let me use the empty seat - still no luck sleeping though. He also said my sleeping tablet looked like an ecstasy tablet. I think we are in the all clear now, consider I took it about 6 hours ago.

Anyway I'm really bored which is why I typed all that, I also took a photo of my plane food because I'm cool like that, I'll upload if I remember. Five hours to go!!

Oh yeah, Alanna suggested to blog about three things I miss, so I figured I would do that now but I'll also do three things I'm looking forward to!

3 things I miss
My pillow
Leg room
Sleep

3 things I'm looking forward too
Checking in at the hotel
Meeting all the other Australians.
Going to walmart.

Ohh this is all out of order but I can't be bothered re ordering it, and I'll have to edit the pictures in later because I can't seem to get Internet on my Mac only the iPad.

Anyway got through intimidating customers the fastest I've ever got through customs and got on a very full flight to Minneapolis. Haha so random. But that airport is huge! And made it t my gate with five minutes to spare. When they say you have a fuzzy head I actually know what that feels like and it is not very pleasant. My head felt like I had an eye mask on My forehead. But by the time we landed it had disappeared and I made the epic journey to baggage claim, got my baggage, figured out how to get the mears shuttle to the hotel got to the hotel, checked in, got lost finding my room,found my room, washed my hair logged onto Internet and fell asleep. And just woke up.

Ohh and I got upgraded to exit row in premium economy on my last flight which was nice.

I epically rushed the last half but I wanted to get it down before the fun starts. Lance, Brian, brian and Albert (my seat buddy) if somehow your reading, hope you have a nice life!

I definitely needed the walmart boost after the epic journey!

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!

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.

W.D Quote # 1

I like this.

T Minus 180 Days

So yesterday was officially six months until D Day!  


Although nothing really on the D front has happened.  I guess at the moment I'm just in the process of looking at flights, although I pretty much know I'm going to Fly Delta or code share V Australia to get my  frequent flyer points up.


Other stuff that needs to be done over the next few months is:

• Visa Paperwork
• Visa Interview
• Medical Insurance
• I'm sure a thousand other things that I can't remember.

Seeing as I have nothing to talk about, I figured those of you not in the Disney Know may like to know more about some of the basics.


Oh I really suck at posting this is like the tenth time I have come back to this and I can't figure out what to write.


I wish Disney would email me!  I think I gots to wait til April before we get anymore info.


I'll just treat this as a Diary.








Dear Diary,


This week I started Spanish Lessons.


This week I got an internship with Starlight Foundation.


This week I started casual work where I interned last year.


This week my work decided to give me 5 shifts.


The end.












Last weeks entry would have gone like this....


Dear Diary.


This week I had one shift.


The end.








I'm getting whiplash.  










Oh I'll catch you up to speed on the housing in my next post.  Whatevs.
