Three weeks to go!

Hey Everyone!!


So yes, only 3 more weeks until i'm on my way to Disneyworld!!
My weeks are crazy now. Like i have soo much to do, but i can't do much until my last week and a half. Next Sunday i'm doing a packing test-run, so i'm going to back up everything as if i were leave tomorrow, and i mean EVERYTHING!! Haha i'm going to the extent of packing up my make-up, laptop, linens, all my shoes, clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush and my pictures!!
It's a way to keep me kind of sane. Like i'm not going to be packing everything until maybe the 18th, just because i don't want to pack everything up and then be ohh i want to use this or this. lol. So if i do a test run i'll know everything, exactly! haha

So good news!! I got my VISA at the beginning of th week! I can offically work in America!
And for those of you who don't know... my VISA is not a VISA credit card, it's a work VISA. It's a silly slip of paper that goes in my passport that says i'm legally allowed to work in America. :)
I know a lot of my friends thought it was a credit card, so i was just clarifiying!
So normally, my weeks go by pretty fast. I start out on Monday, usually hang out with friends/ clean, sleep in until i go to Figure Skating, and then i hang out with Hollie and go to the gym later in the evening. I basically do that until Thursday. So i kill time until then and then i work Thurs-Sun, usually going out with friends after works and doing things. That's my typical week, it for the most part it goes by fast because i'm not sitting there thinking about each day and just wanting it to end!! But now, it's the only thing i'm doing. It's going by ridicilously slow!!!! Grr! Slowest 3 weeks of my life, i swear! But i think i just need to get through the next week and a half, and then all hell will break loose!! =)
I need to get my medical insurance though!!! Friday, i think i'm doing that and paying my Registration fee for the program. Soo i think it's going to be good. DOn't have very many parties planned. Most of my friends don't seem like they really care that i'm leaving for a year, but i don't even care anymore. I have one really good friend who's getting so stressed and upset about me leaving, and i appreciate every second of it!!
On a different note, my last day at The Bay is on the 11th!! So excited to get out of there!!!
I'm going to miss everyone so much though!! BUt like i said, it's going to be so nice to get out of there and hopfuly in Florida, i'll maybe get a Saturday or Sunday off!!! Will be nice!

So i think that's really it! I should get some sleep anyways. It's 2am and i have to be at work for 11:30am tomorrow. HAHA

Soo i guess goodnight,
and i'm going to try and wait until 1 week prior departure before i post in here again, although i can't promise anything if i get bored or something really exciting happens!
It'll be crazy, the next time i write in here, almost everyone will have my blog URL!!!!
=)

Take Caree,
Sam

I cannot sleep!

Hey Everyone!

So i cannot get to sleep to save my life! I slept in until 12:30pm yesterday, so that's probably why. So i have 1 month to go! I can hardly wait! Like all that's going through my head is, 2 weeks from now, i'll have 2 weeks left! Crazy! Sophie and Graeme and I are meeting by the baggage claim on the 21st. I need to actually remember what time they're arriving at. I ask them maybe once a week, and i've yet to remember, but it's not too long after i touch down. I'm hoping Ana will arrive close to the same time so we can arrive at Vista together. She's pretty cool! I hope we stay close when we're down there.
So, still no visa package. But it should be coming this week. If i don't get it by Friday i'll E-mail Kristen to see what's up. It's not a big rush, but i just want it!!
So i'm exciting news, i'm going to Seattle this weekend with my mom, Sandi, and Alex. It was pretty random. Last Friday i was out for dinner with them, and we were discussing how we should take a trip up to Parksville for a weekend before i move off, and then somewhere it ended up being Seattle! So that'll be really fun! I havn't been there in a while!

Some other really good news is, i have a plan for after Orlando. Mrs. Hoffman kept bugging me about how i needed to figure something out, but didn't think it was really necessary because i would probably change my mind. So i'm scatching getting a degree in Psychology. ( I was trying to avoid doing math 12) I was seaching online at the different Universities & Colleges in Canada and came across this program at University of Waterloo. It's a Geography and Avaition. I didn't even know this existed. I came across of it while i was looking up the admission requirements for their Psych BA program. I'm pretty excited about it. I e-mailed the lady who's head of this particular program and asked if my upgraded English at Camosun would be okay. The only thing is they'd perfer highish 70's% but i got low.. lol. We'll see. So it's 4 year Bachelor Program. It's expensive though. I think i summed it up to $35,000 in tuition, and then the flight program part was $60,000 over the span of 3 years. So i'm going to be in a lot of debt. But hey, pilot's make lots of money! I'm really excited to share this with everyone. I also like that it's in Ontario. I'm very far away from my life in Victoria! Get a chance to start my own new life there.

So there's not very much to say regrading Disney. I started going through some things tonight, actually a lot of things from the end of High School, which was sad obviously. Next week i might try tackling my clothes and organize what i'm taking. I know my last couple weeks are going to be crazy, so the more i get done now, the better. I'm starting to get really close with Daniel, Ana, Graeme, and Alwyn. Haha, i text all of them ALL the time. It's bad!
Ohh Poldi, a german friend of mine who's already down there told me last Friday 8 cast members were terminated for underage drinking. There was a suprise inspection. I'm hoping one of them was Canadian, just so it gives Robin a chance to get in!!! We'll see.
I've begun planning my two major going away parties. I have one with my friends that i see everyday, that's on April 17th. I think we're going out for dinner at Milestones and then going back to my place to drink and party and just have a good time. There will be TONS of pictures taken! haha
And then i'm having my Bay party! It's just a dinner, but there's about 13 of us all going. I'm really excited about this, because Hazel, Benet, and Sarah are going, and i don't work with them anymore.
Anyways, i should probably get going. I'm still not tired and it's 4:16am. Haha - I'm thinking about going to the gym atound 6am, if i don't crash!

If i get my package tomorrow or later in the week i'll blog and let you know what's in it!!
Take Careee,
Sam

A month and a half to go!

Hey Everyone!

So, yeah i leave in about a month and a half. I'm getting more and more excited everyday!
There's stil no word on my visa. First Kristen said 2 weeks like a month ago, and then she said a month before i leave, and now it might be a couple weeks before i leave. Who knows? But with the visa comes another information package. I think it's just more detailed.

There's nothing really to update. I've begun planning out my Goodbye parties. I'm also going to Vancouver in two weeks to see my cousins, aunt and uncles. I usually see them once a year during Thanksgiving, but i wont be here, so i'd like to see them! I'm just going over for the day, nothing big. lol
Let's see, oh yeah and with The Bay, i'm having a goodbye dinner. It's at Moxies on April 14th.
I'm really excited for that!! I'm inviting Robin, Rose, Eva, Hazel, Rolly, Kelly, Ericka, Shaddie, Benet, and Sarah. I think that all of them. :) Should be a lot of fun.
And of course i'm going to have a party with my family. Well, at least i hope so.
I'm pretty tired, so i'm going to head off to bed.
I thought i'd just post in here for a quick update. I'm really hoping i get my Visa Package this week, so if i do i will deffinatly post a blog and update y'all with all the wonderful information!

Take Care,
Sam
