Very Bad Blogger!

Ok, so the countdown is really on. It is only 45 days until I jet off, and it's been 25 days since my last update! So much for be blogging the week after my Visa appointment, yes this post is quite overdue, so I will get on with it, much to tell!

Visa Appointment:

So let's start with the sight seeing, on 7th April, me and my mum made the journey down to London for my appointment, and managed to see a few sights (We missed seeing Lizzie's house though, bad tourists!). Harrods was AMAZING, we spent so long in there, unfortunately, I didn't get anything Tiffany, how rude of my mother not to buy me a souvenir! In all seriousness though, the prices they charge for stuff is ridiculous! We also made it to Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford street, Westminster and a few other places, considering we were only there one night we managed to get a lot done! I was meaning to post some pictures from my trip but my mum's on holiday with the camera and I didn't want to leave updating much longer, maybe I'll sneak them in my next post :-).

My appointment was on the Monday at 11.30 and we arrived probably half an hour early once I'd dropped my phone off at the pharmacy for there to be people queuing outside, and from there I knew it was going to be a longgggg process. I won't go into too much detail into what it was like, but once you were inside it was honestly like a huge Argos, just without the items to purchase, obviously... I  managed to sit with some other lovely Disney people and thank god I found them, because if I had to spent nearly 3 hours alone listening to "Can 158 go to window 6 please." I may have gone a little insane. They definitely helped the time pass by, so thanks guys! 

I went to two different windows, the first  window I went to was to hand over my documents and have my fingerprints taken, the second was for my interview. This process, all together, probably took around 5 mintues and I was there for nearly 3 hours! The interview was fine actually, I was asked around 3 questions, only one was about me going to Florida, the others were about University, so all in all, it was nothing to worry about! I did kind of feel like I deserved more of their time for waiting for so long, NOT that I'm complaining, I happily walked off knowing my Visa was approved, which was the biggest hurdle to getting me to Disney!

I'm definitely going, eeeeep!

25 Days Later:

 This leads us up to today, and the reason I've not been blogging is, well there's not much reason actually, time is just flying. I am getting over ran with work from uni as my second year is nearly over. I am almost half way through my degree, shocking! So this is kind of why I haven't been updating as regularly. But, just over 2 weeks of hard work to go and then I can finally get really excited and prepared for my adventure across the pond. 

You're still coming along with me, right?

Until next time!
