5 weeks until I work for Mr. Mouse

Hello Everyone!

As promised to a few of you, I have set up a blog for when I am away working at Walt Disney World, Florida.
You may be able to tell from the title it is 5 weeks until I board that plane to spend the Summer of 2011 working for Mr. Mouse, so this first post will tell you all about what I've been up to preparing for the trip, and also my plans for the next few weeks before I go. Whilst away I shall update my blog as often as possible so you can all by nosey and see what I'm getting up to. I thought this would be the best way as it would take too long to e-mail or ring you all seperately, and then I won't have anytime to sunbath on my days off!

First of all, I just want to tell you what a shock it was to get the job in the first place! After two terrifying interviews (of which over 2000 people applied), I litrally screamed when I got the e-mail. I don't think I read the whole of it for about a day, i just kept looking at the big red letters which read 'CONGRATULATIONS'. So I am now one of the 300 people that made it through to have what I hope will be the most amazing summer! The prep involved has been mad, not to mention extreamely expensive! Flights, Visas, and Travel Insurance all adds up! But I'm sure it will all be worth it.

On 26th March, I met up with around 20 others who are going in Manchester. It was a lovely day, we all went for lunch and a few drinks and gave us a real chance to get to know each other so we don't feel completely alone when we arrive. I met some great people who I'm sure I will be spending a lot of time with over the 3 months.

Last week (14th April) I had my Visa appointment, which I was terrified about. After spending so much money, I was so worried it wouldn't be accepted! But it was, so now I have nothing left to worry about apart from what to pack in my suitcase! I can also tell you that 3 and a half hours in a non air conditioned American Embassey is not the best way to spend your Thursday afternoon!

So over the next few weeks, I have a few exams and assignments and after that I'm free to really prepare myself! I have 3 days with family and friends which I'm really looking forward to, but also dreading as they all mean Goodbyes. But it's only for 3 months, so you must all promise me not to get upset! Especially you Mother!!

Be sure to keep checking this blog, as I will probably post again just before I go, and at least twice a week whilst I'm out there. I will also include pictures and videos of my antics just to make you all jealous!

Bye for now, and 'have a nice day' ;)
