A Little Bit of Honesty.

I thought now would be a good time to update, with it being only 12 days until I jet off for the US of A! I've decided to write a post that is completely honest, which sums up all my feelings right now. So here goes.

Ok, first I need a little moment to shout from the rooftops just how excited I am to be going to spend my summer in a place that is sunny nearly all the time, a place which means I'm working at Disney world and a place which lets me meet people from all over the world, eeeeep!! This makes me so excited I could pee, but don't worry I won't! I genuinely still can't believe I was chosen out of 1500 people and that makes me even more grateful for being able to go, and I'm definitely going to take every opportunity with both hands, because there were many people that wanted to be in my shoes, and therefore I have to make the most of it. The thought of being able to stroll into the parks for free, when am I ever going to get that opportunity again?! I am one lucky chappy and therefore a very happy one indeed!

And while I am definitely feeling all of the above, I am also very scared. I'd also say I'm feeling apprehensive, I mean, I'm leaving everything, and everyone I know, to go 3000 miles away to work in another country in the hope it's going to be amazing (which I know it will!) but surely I wouldn't be human if I wasn't slightly afraid? But hey.

Shut up, YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEY!!!

The above is where the "depressing" posts ends, because I bet as you were reading this you were thinking exactly what I've written above. Yes I'm going alone, yes I'm going to miss a tonne of people, yes it is slightly scary...

WHO CARES?!

Not everyone gets the opportunity I've been given, so I'm going to embrace every second, knowing I've got people back at home who love me and are willing me on every step of the way. There are sooooo many ways to keep in contact with everybody back home, so (except for the time difference) it will just be like living away at uni, just a hell of a lot warmer, and a hell of a lot sunnier, which I can definitely handle! : D. And with Ste hopefully coming out to see me, what better way could a girl be spending her summer?!

Ohhh, an update you ask?

I supposeeee I could tell you what's been happening since my last post, because I know you're at the edge of your seat waiting to find out, aren't you?! Well you should be, it's exciting!

Well it is for us girls anyway : D. I finally started shopping for clothes to wear out there, my last 2 weeks at uni were crammed full of assignments, work and an exam I had no time to even start looking, and there were others out there already packed! Needless to say, I felt a little behind! So I splurged out at Matalan and a few other places and now have a nice little set of clothes to take out with me, seen as I'm moreee than likely to buy many clothes out there, I thought it would be a good idea not to buy toooo much, and I think I've done quite well actually! Proof will be in the pud when I actually start packing, which kinda needs to be soon!

Also, the last incy bit left to pay was my health insurance, which I finally did this week. Leaving it a little fine? Yes indeed, but that is it! Just my spends which I'm hopefully going to get changed in the next couple of days and the money side of things is all sorted, WAHOOO! Not fully decided how much to take with me yet, going to do the sums and make a final decision soonish.

Aaaaand, me and Ste have just come back from a little break away to spend some time together before I left, and it was lovely! So relaxing, definitely what the doctor ordered after a stressful last couple of weeks at uni for the two of us. Got soaked at South Lakes Zoo, but I got to go into the penguin enclosure, so definitely a worth while trip. It did make me realise that I am going to miss him bucket loads, and just how fab he's been throughout all this, and just how lucky I am! And yes don't worry, that's all the soppiness in this post, but it's all completely true, he's a star.

Is there anything else I need to tell you? Nopeee I think that's pretty much it. Every time I sit to write a post it gets me more and more excited, and to think it's 12 days away is unreal! The first bunch are going this Monday, which is so exciting and I bet the Facebook group will be going crazy with questions, and so all the best to everyone travelling on the 3rd, and I will see you a week later on the 10th!!

It's so close now. 

See ya real soon!
