Six More Weeks!!!

Time is flying by so fast, I'm so worried I won't get everything done before I leave. I am definitely starting to feel really emotional about leaving. I am really excited to leave but I will miss my friends and family so much, especially my dog. I am definitely trying to make the most of what little time I have left at home.

Haven't done much on my to-do list lately. I started to go through some of my clothes. I'm finding it really hard deciding what to bring and what to leave behind. Other than that I've been making my list of things I need to take care of before I leave like cancelling my gym membership and unlocking my phone. I think I finally figured out what to do with my Blackberry. I can't live without it and don't want to buy one of those cheap pay as you go phones this time around. I'm going to buy my health insurance next week so then all I have to worry about is paying my program fee.

I do feel like I should be leaving for Disney next week when the ICPs leave, it feels weird not heading to Florida in May since I have the past two years. It will be nice to be home for Mother's Day this year though. I will leave you with this really cute video I found, it's called a Model Day at Epcot and shows quite a bit of the theme park I will be calling home for a year. At the end it shows the World Showcase costumes, including the Canadian one just to give you an idea of what I will be wearing until I start working in the restaurant :).

Model Day at Epcot

50 Days

Only 50 days to go until I'm back in the sunshine state! I got my visa petition and I94 card last week which is super exciting. This visa looks so different from the one I've used to work at Disney before. Luckily I don't have to make an appointment with the embassy or anything like that. I just give the petition and my I94 to customs and they deal with it all. Going to put that, my social security card, and passport in a safe place until it's time to leave. I am so happy I already have my social security card, no getting up at 5am for that appointment yay!

I e-mailed Yummy Jobs and Disney my flight info so they know what time to expect me at the welcome centre (and hopefully this time I arrive 1-2 hours after my flight unlike last year where I swear I spent like 4 hours at the airport waiting for the shuttle). I still haven't bought my health insurance. I ended up using my March Break pay check to buy my camera and other stuff so I will buy it next pay day.

Ended up finding this amazing deal on luggage one day and got my carry on and second piece of checked luggage for $100. So happy with that deal! Now I've got three very bright colourful pieces of luggage. Definitely won't have trouble finding my luggage this time around! Now all I need to do is start packing :).

Two Months To Go

Only two more months to go! I got an e-mail from Yummy Jobs saying that in the next few weeks they will be sending my visa petition which is exciting. I got my income tax refund check on Friday so on Monday I'm going to put it in an American account since the Canadian dollar is really good right now.

Other than that, I went and did some Florida shopping. I got a new camera (mine wasn't working too good towards the end of my last program). I just got a really basic Samsung, nothing too fancy. I didn't want to spend too much money since I won't have a warranty on it once I enter the States which sucks. I also got some new summer dresses, some new sweathers and two new bathing suits. I know it seems silly to buy sweathers for Florida but I know I will need them since it can get quite chilly there. Next I need to start looking at getting another piece of luggage and a new carry-on bag. I also need to start going through my clothes and deciding what to bring, what to get rid of, and what to pack away. It's so hard thinking I need to pack for a year.
