Insurance

Well as you can guess from the title, that's me got my insurance finally! I have only been saying that I would be getting it for months, but now that I have it that's one more thing that I have ticked off my imaginary to do list. I think all I have to do now is get my visa which I have to wait to do, pay the assessment fee which I also have to wait to do and then pack and say bye to everyone. So all in all a very short looking list, but I'm sure that when I will be doing everything on it, it will take a lot longer that it will look on paper.

So all is calm on the Disney front for now, not much else I can do just now for leaving apart from count down the days which at the moment is 81 days, so it is flying in now. Excitement!

On another note, I am leaving for Kos 2 weeks on Thursday, well unless Iceland screws the plans! Stupid ash cloud better calm down, I am not having another one ruin my travel plans. Cannot wait until I leave here for a break, just need to get away and chill, like the calm before the storm because I know that as soon as I get back its going to be all go!

I had a thought the other day, that when I am in Disney it is going to be strange not driving for a full year, and having the freedom of a car to just get up and go, but I guess I done it for 17 years I am sure I will be able to last another year. The one bonus I suppose is that if I do go out for a few drinks I don't have to worry about having to drive the next morning.

I think I will cut the rambling off there, so until next time. :D

p.s fingers crossed that I win the lottery before I leave as that would be awesome! I can always dream.

Double Figures!!!

Like I said in the previous post I would post again once I was into double figures and now I am. I was actually in double figures a few days ago but I have just not been up for writing this. I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be. I think all this waiting is just bringing me down and getting to me, not in the sense that I don't want to go, just that I am sick of all the waiting. At first I thought it was a good thing that I had all of this time to wait so that I could get all of my things in order and get enough money saved up, but it is now dawning on me that I didn't need that much time to get ready. As I have all this time I feel like I'm not doing anything for going away for such long periods of time because there is a lot of stuff that I can't do so I just don't feel like doing the stuff I could be doing any more. I know that is a bit of a ramble but I feel that is what my head is like just now, everywhere and nowhere all at the same time and doing the same thing everyday and not enjoying it just keeps making me think of what I could be doing in Disney.

I have also been thinking about when I get back from Florida and I know I am looking far too far into the future just now but I can't help it. I am a worrier at heart. I keep thinking "how will I cope coming home to normality after being there and doing something so different?" and I do really think that I wont cope very well but I know my friends and family will help me through. No matter how they do it, from small things to the big, even if it is just a chat online I know it will help cause I know it is going to be a huge adjustment. The adjustment in Disney I think will be easier as everyone will be feeling exactly the same plus its going to be awesome, working in Disney, living in Florida it really is a dream.

When I get back I will also have to limit my stories that begin "in Florida/ in Disney" and especially "this one time in Disney/Florida" because I know it will get very old very fast and I don't want to bore people like I think I have done already with all my talk about over there. I have tried to limit myself talking about it to only when somebody asks about it as I don't want it to seem like its all I think about.

I think I will stop there as I don't have anything else to write, and this post isn't exactly happy cheery but I am sure that the next post will be better, I think I am just in a slump. Need to snap myself out of it as this is not a good Disney attitude, well at least not in public, so I will need to practice having the split persona in case I do have an off day in Florida which I cannot show when I am working in Disney as I will always be on stage.
