So Much Has Happened

As you can see from the title so much has happened since the last time I updated this.

Firstly I got my visa!!!!

That was the main thing that seems to cause the greatest panic with everyone, but when I went everything went smoothly, I don't think it could have gone any better! Everything just seemed to go perfectly.
My day started off early, which I hate, after a late night as I couldn't get to sleep. I set off to the airport car park at like 4am, the roads where empty which I love, got there and left the car and got right on the bus, got to the airport and had some coffee and porridge. This made me have a little giggle as I thought to myself I could not get more Scottish if I tried as I had had Haggis the night before and then porridge for breakfast. Disney made the right choice with me as I will be representing Scotland. :-)
Got the flight, which just like the last time I was on it seems like the shortest flight ever. 45 minutes and most of that time is taking off and landing, the seatbelt sign is off only for about 15 minutes. Once in Belfast I got 2 buses to the embassy, thing was my appointment was booked for 10.45 am, I got there at 8.55am, so I was super early. Luckily they were all really nice and I was in and out in less than 30 minutes so I had the rest of the day in Belfast alone as my flight was at 6pm, I had thought about chancing my luck and going to the airport and trying to get on the earlier flight, but I didn't bother. Didn't think easyjet would let it without a cost, so not worth it, so I just went for a wander round Belfast had some lunch, lay on the grass in the sun. All in all just a really good day, very relaxing with great results of having my visa!

Between then and now not very much has happened, but in the last few days I have paid my assessment fee after a lot of problems getting access to it, so that is me officially done everything official that needs to be done for going to Disney so all that is left to do is pack and get things with my car sorted, but other than that Disney here I come!

So yesterday was my last day in work so I decided to wear my Minnie ears to get in the Disney mood. In work it just didn't feel like my last day, just felt like a normal day, I did however just not care about the stats like I normally would, I just took it easy. I do have to admit though I am happy that it is over and that I now have 2 weeks to myself to get everything in order.

I have been tackling the hard job of clearing my room of all non essential things and it is taking forever. I have so far chucked so much out, but looking around my room you would think that I haven't touched it. You really don't realise how much crap you gather until it comes to the time to get rid of it and for me that time is now and I have to say I am not liking this! I suppose it is a good thing I am not too sentimental or there would probably be a lot more stuff that I wouldn't fling out.

Now that I have time to myself I will take the first week to try and get everything together so that I can have my last week to see everyone for the last time and just chill before I leave. Today I got a camera and the final part of my costume for my leaving night which I am really looking forward to. I am keeping what I am wearing under wraps, but I will be taking plenty of photos and will upload them here.

So thats me for now, and since I am off for the next 2 weeks I am sure I will be able to keep this more up to date than I have been.
