16 Hours and a Meltdown Later...

I am currently sitting in LAX completely exhausted and more freaked out than I have ever been in my life. 

You guys, LAX is confusing. 

Auckland airport is tiny and easy to navigate, clearly signposted, and everything you could want. 

LAX is huge, hard to navigate and we had no idea where to go or what to do. After asking about 50 different people, and having a minor breakdown on the phone with our mums, we are sitting by the gate for our next flight and waiting to head to Orlando.

Up until now it hadn't hit me how real it was. Even getting off the plane, it felt like we were just going to be back in Auckland with our families. But after trying to figure out this airport. It's real. I'm not going home for a year. I know I should be excited, but I'm too tired for that yet. I think that will hit when we check in at Disney with everyone around us, and are no longer doing it on our own

But the adventure has begun. Here we go...

A Turning Point in Life

Last night I may have had one of the biggest moments of my life so far.

Last night I drove with two friends, two hours up to Auckland, to interview for a position I have been excited about for months now.

Last night I interviewed for a position that will take me out of my country, away from my family, and on the biggest adventure of my life so far.

Last night I interviewed for an intern-ship at DisneyWorld, Florida.


And now I am freaking out. And will be for the next two weeks until I hear from them.
If I get in, I will be working at DisneyWorld for an entire year. Living in America, in Disney housing, meeting people from all around the world, and experiencing things I have never experienced before.
And I'm terrified. I'm scared to open my email and find out I didn't get in, which is extremely possible, as they don't take many applicants. But I am also scared to open my email and find out I did get in, I'm terrified about what that means, the huge steps I will have to take, the amount of money I will have to somehow save, and currently the role that I will be offered.


When I filled out my application forms I got to choose the roles I was most interested in. I chose Character Attendant, Merchandise, and Operations. However, during my interview, the Disney representative (who was beyond lovely) informed me those roles had already been filled. So she told me which I could end up doing if I get in. These included Life Guard, Character Performer, and Food Services. At the time I told her I could do any and all of them. I was so keen to prove myself and come across enthusiastic and helpful. But now I have had time to think it through, I really don't want to do life guarding. I'm scared at the thought of it, it has never been something I wanted to do, and I don't know if I would want to do it for an entire year. She measured me for Character Performer, in case they offer me that position, and I got told I was Pluto height. So you never know, if you visit DisneyWorld after August next year, this may be me...


So I'm excited but apprehensive for two weeks to end. Your good luck wishes and prayers are very welcome. Because I need to put these thoughts out of my mind, as I have a ton of work to do for my classes. I cannot believe how busy I am currently. Only 5 more weeks until I am freeeeee!

If You Really Knew Me...

Hello to all my new fabulous readers!! I have seen this post trend floating around the blogosphere and thought now would be the perfect time to give it a go! And continuing with my "honest blogging" promise I'm going to put it all out there... And I mean really put myself out there. Be nice!

If you really knew me...

- You would know I love to take stupid photos way more than serious posed ones.

-You would know I can be quite quiet until you get to know me, I can be quite shy.

- You would know I LOVE films and TV shows (although you should all know this) and if we like some of the same things I would happily spend hours discussing and quoting them!

- You would know I'm full of big dreams but am pessimistic about fulfilling them. I would love to be an actor or a film editor and am even studying for this at University but I don't believe it will ever happen. 

- You would know I taught myself to play guitar and can often be found mucking around and playing my favourite songs. I have even had a go at writing a few. I'm not the best singer though. Not bad, but not fantastic.

- You would know I am 20 years old and have never had a boyfriend. (this one took a lot of guts to admit) I have been on dates, had crushes, known about guys who have liked me. But never had the opportunity (or the courage) to be in a relationship. Sometimes this worries me, being alone forever type worry, and other times I feel like my time is coming, and its all for a reason.

- You would know I drink a lot of tea and coffee. And I eat way too much junk food.

- You would know I cry really easily. Any sad film, book or TV show. Whenever someone else cries. When I'm stressed. A lot!

- You would know I don't get angry. I get annoyed or I quietly sulk. But I never rage. Maybe I bottle it inside, I'm not sure, maybe I just accept things too easily.

- You would know I love the water, I grew up next to beaches and rivers and pools. I love swimming, but I'm self concious about wearing togs/bathing suits

- You would know I'm kind of a crazy cat lady, I adore my cat Milo, and pretty much all cats like me. I am a cat whisperer.

- You would know I love being adventurous and trying new things but I get terrified before I do them. But I do them anyway! Case and point, the New Zealand famous Zorb!

- You would know my Mum is a breast cancer survivor, one of my idols (the other being Audrey Hepburn) and one of the bravest people I know.

- You would know I am the epitome of a "poor student". I have less than $200 to my name.

- You would know that I am a fidget-er. I tend to do my hair or paint my nails while watching TV or I get too fidgety.

Well there we go. Hopefully my being completely honest didn't scare any of you away, and that you feel like you know me a little better. Its actually quite tough putting some of this out into the blog world so again, be nice :)

Me, Myself & I Link-Up...

I'm here today bringing you my answers for the first ever Me, Myself & I link-up!

1. What is your biggest phobia? 

Cockroaches. Definitely. I seriously can't handle them. I once sat in my room crying for 2 hours because there was one near my door and I couldn't go past it! It's pretty bad.

2. If you could relive any day of your 

life, what would it be and why? 

I'm not sure. I haven't had any "Life-Changing" days yet, I'm only young, but maybe my trip to the Soundwave Music Festival in Sydney, Australia. It was such a fun day as I was with my friend, in the city I was born in, listening to some of my favourite bands!

3. If you could choose to stay a certain 

age forever, what age would it be? 

Even though I haven't actually been this age yet, I'm gonna say 21/22. I feel like these are going to be good ages! Old enough to do everything (even though we can drink here at 18) but still young!

4. Which celebrity do you get mistaken 

for? 

I have been told that I sometimes look like Mischa Barton from The O.C but I dunno, I don't really see it... You guys can decide...

5. What songs are included on the soundtrack to your life?

I didn't have a good answer for this one so I found a "Soundtrack of Your Life Survey" and filled it out!

This week I decided I would share with you the "Top 5 Movies That Terrify/Disturb Me"

1. The Ring

via

This movie freaked the hell out of me the first time I saw it!! I was probably 13 or 14 and staying at a friends house when we stupidly decided to watch it. Worst decision ever. One of the only movies to ever give me nightmares! And the silly thing is, its not even a great movie, there's just something about it that creeps me out even now! I still cant watch it, and even this photo is freaking me out!

2. Grave Encounters

via

Now this is a good movie! Terrifying, but good! I watched this during the day and it still managed to scare the bejesus out of me! It has suspense, frights, twists, scary ghosts, and crazy happenings. If you enjoy horror movies I highly recommend this one!

3. Boy's Don't Cry

via

So this movie is not a horror movie by any means, its a fantastic drama, BUT I found it really quite disturbing! It was so realistic and some of the things that happen and very sad. I had to watch it for one of my papers and I ended up bawling my eyes out instead of taking notes!

4. The Descent

via

This movie was pretty freaky for multiple reasons! First it has scary creatures, people killing each other and heaps of crazy frights! But it also has another aspect that terrified me! The girls in this film go caving. As in little tiny holes in giant underground caves. The claustrophobic in me could not handle it! It made me cringe just as much as they actual scary stuff!

5. Hide and Seek

via

So this movie isn't actually all that scary but somehow when my sister and I watched it, it managed to majorly creep us out! Like nightmares and panic attacks creep me out. I have no idea how, because its actually not that scary but yea, it happened. Its actually quite a clever movie, with great twists and Dakota Fanning does really well.

Well there ya go... Now you know how to officially creep me out, use the information well!

Enjoy your Tuesdays!! And link-up below!
