In Real Life...

So here we are.

My very first Vlog ever. I'm very apprehensive about posting this, I feel like I come across weirdly on video haha, and my accent seems bizzare when I'm used to watching Americans Vlog.

But never-the-less here it is. Be nice x

(Obviously I filmed this yesterday then didn't post it. I LEAVE TOMORROW!!)

Let me know what you think :)

A Little Goodbye...

Saturday night was mine and Rachel's leaving party. We had a fabulous night with all our friends from high school, and I only got a tiny bit emotional when it came to saying goodbye (I swear). 

It was the best thing ever hanging out with all these ladies after quite a long time apart. I still can't quite believe it was the last time I will see some of them for over a year. Lucky for me a few of them are coming to the airport! 

We decided the party would have a "No Cups" theme. Which basically meant you couldn't drink out of anything that was a cup, bottle, or official alcohol dispenser. We encouraged everyone to get creative...

Which resulted in this

Me and my little sister Deahn. And our vessels a gumboot and a VCR case.

Some of the gang. I rocked that bow all night long!

One if my besties. Love you Mermaid!

We discovered Lauren's vessel had other uses.

We feasted on USA themed cupcakes all night.

Beer Pong was the only exception to the no cups rule!

All in all it was the best leaving party a girl could ask for. And in 4 short days I will be flying away and leaving them all behind. Thank goodness I have Rachel coming with me, or I think I would be ready to stay behind! Friends are such an important part of life, and I know when I get back in a year, everything will have changed, but nothing will have changed. I love these guys.

Bits & Pieces

So we have hit single digits. And I'm starting to freak out.

Not necessarily because I'm leaving in 9 days, but because I only have 9 days left to do what feels like a hundred things. 

Today is my last day at work, so I'm looking forward to that being over. I do quite enjoy working in retail, most of the time, and I love trying on our sunglasses whenever its quiet. But the issue is, it's quiet pretty much all the time, our shop is tiny, and we don't have room for a seat. Which means tonight I get to stand for 7 hours attempting to convince people to buy sunglasses in the middle of winter. Fun times right?

Saturday I have a leaving lunch with my dads side of the family, and then my leaving party that night with my friends. I'm really excited about it! Most of my friends live in different cities for University, so we don't get to hang out too often, and obviously now I won't see them for over a year :(

After that is a week of getting ready. I still have a few things left to do, maybe not a hundred, but it sure feels like it sometimes. I need to

• Sort out my money. Organise my travel card, and exchange cash
• Find and organise all my documents. We need a whole bunch of forms to be let into the country, so it might be time for me to find them all...
• Pack. How am I supposed to pack a years worth of things into one suitcase? And I know I will be buying lots of things over there, but I still need to bring a huge amount of stuff with me. What a mission.
• Buy last minute bits and pieces
• Pack up my room. So my left behind things are not exploding all over the room as they currently are
• Freak out and have about 500 heart attacks... Yip.
• Vlog? I'm still psyching myself up into doing my very first vlog for you guys. Just introducing my real-life self, and talking a bit about the Disney program before I'm off on the whirlwind adventure. What do you think? Would you be keen for me to buck up and make one?

Whelp, I'm off to work now. Here's hoping I sell a bunch of sunnies on my last day :D

Byee for now my loves.

Disney Update!

I mean... What?! Holy friggin crap you guys. And this app is counting down to my Disney check-in. In reality I leave in 44 days. Argh.
I'm not even sure what to say. Everytime I think about it, I feel like peeing. Just a little.

Things are coming together so quickly. I have my visa, I have paid my program fee, I have most my documents organised. I am still putting off paying for medical insurance, I'm holding on to the illusion of having that extra grand in my bank account. A little closer to the time we will get our housing information. Those that are requesting roommates can organise them, and those that are leaving it up to the universe (i.e me) can sit back and relax!

Now 44 days may still seem like quite a long time. So let me put it this way for you.

5 Weeks.

5 Weeks....

I have 4 more weeks at work, then one week of packing and farewells, and that is it. THAT'S IT! 

Then I will be jet-setting off across the world, probably bawling my eyes out, and feeling like throwing up. But also a bundle of excitement. Because that's how I do.

Think of a Wonderful Thought...

200 Days.

200 Days!

We are hitting the big countdown marks now! Isn't it funny how the round numbers always seem really important. Tomorrow my countdown will hit 199 which is a whole new level of crazy! This week has been one of excitement on the Disney front. I am beginning to complete the first steps that will end with me in Florida...

I have been doing some research. Maps, and guides, hotel reviews, all that jazz. Not only do I get to live in Florida for a year, I get 30 days of travel on my visa at the end of my Disney contract. So I have been figuring out where I might want to go (if I have any money left that is!) 

Any suggestions fellow Bloggers? Where do you believe I MUST visit? 

Your home town perhaps, get our blate (bogger date) on?

But by far THE most exciting part of this week was booking my flights! As soon as we confirmed our bookings it hit me, shit just got real y'all. I am actually going! I am also over $1000 poorer but still. We can look past that depressing fact!

I AM GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!
