Hello!
Wow, it's been a while hey. I last wrote when I had 5 months until my holiday, now it's less then a month away!!
So in all the time that has passed, I'm sure you are curious if my plans have changed, how the saving is going and am I still excited?!
Well my plans changed.
I'm now flying to Washington DC on the Wednesday afternoon and returning on the Thursday night, I'm staying with all my fabulous old roommates for three nights from Friday-Sunday and we are doing Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and dressing as all the fairies. I'm going to be TINKERBELL! So I brought everything for my costume yesterday and while Nan is up we are going to make it.
So my time just got even busier with an inside trip into DC that wasn't originally on the cards but I figure, I'm only young once and who doesn't like an adventure right? And to top it off Zak still has no idea about my surprise. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
My savings account is blooming, I recently exchanged moolah over and have $900 cash as well as another $1200 on my debit card, and that's not including the $1000 I'll receive on the Wednesday over there from my pay going into my account. One would say I'm more prepared for this 8 days then my 12 months I spent over there!
The only thing left to buy is my insurance which I will do next fortnight and then I'm all set to fly out on Sunday 22nd!
Until I get ready to board that plane and enjoy some layover time in LA.
Stay Magical

See Ya Real Soon
Hello,
So it's finally arrived, the end of my program. I had my last shift at work and it was a busy one, 450 check ins, lucky I was on curbside and had Kevin, Sarah and Kelly. I also had the best valet crew anyone could have asked for. I made it through the whole day right up until the end of my shift and that's when the tears started, it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to everyone that I have called my Ohana for the last 6 months.
I celebrated my last night in Florida by going to Outback with:
After I said goodbye to Zak and Celeste, we headed to Wawa for one last trip before Austin and I dropped Drew off. Then it was time for a couple hours sleep before my 8:40am flight to LA. Austin was really nice and drove me to the airport, he also helped carry my bags down for me. There are still gentleman in the world it seems. After I said my goodbyes to Austin at the airport it was time to check in, and with my 2 bags only one of them was over weight, and it was only by a pound. i think I did a good job with fitting a whole years worth of stuff into 2 suitcases!!
Before I knew it was time to jump on my flight to LA to spend the night before the long journey back to Australia. When I landed in LA I got my shuttle to the hotel, checked in and jumped straight onto my king sized bed; I forgot how good an actual bed and mattress feels like. I can't wait for my bed at home.
I'm about to go get some dinner, because I'm actually kinda hungry.
Until next time when I head back to the land down under,
Stay Magical

Winter Formal
Hello everyone.
So since my last post has occurred not much has happened, I have been opening at work all this week and was lucky enough to get 2 days of instead of 3 as normal. This week however my apartment celebrated "Fakesgiving" as we weren't all together for Thanksgiving and then last night we had our college program winter formal and it was themed as the Imagination Celebration and there were some very special guests there:
Today I did nothing except sleep and watch TV - it was a perfect day off. I also got my package from my Mummy which included Tim Tams, Freddo Frogs and Cadburys chocolate, I'm all set for the next 5 weeks to pass quickly so I can see her again! And the sibling of course. My roommate also told me today she was talking to Peter Pan and his crazy stalkers and I am NOT one of them, but that they actually like me which was nice and he loves me back. Needless to say my day was made!
That's really all that's happening at the moment, everyone is gearing up for Christmas and then New Years, I have to start getting ready to ship some things home, which I'm partially dreading cost wise, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Until Next Time
Stay Magical.

Hello November.
Hello.
Wow I feel like I haven't stopped typing to you lately. I guess that's what happens when you have a busy month like I did. So it didn't really stop, it was Halloween, and I carved my first ever pumpkin and celebrated the holiday in America, where it is really, really celebrated. I carved Peter Pan into my pumpkin and it turned out fantastic, I was really surprised, and then before I knew it it was the first of November. Whelp. Where has time gone? It feel like yesterday I wrote my first post saying I had landed in the USA.
Moving on from Halloween, I came down with a sore throat on Sunday so I started cold and flu tablets, hot tea with honey, advil, hot soup, water - the whole works. It wasn't getting better and I spent 3 days at home off in bed, I went to work yesterday and was informed that someone had actually gotten Strep throat. I started freaking out, so this morning I finally caved and after 44 weeks and 2 bouts of tonsillitis, I finally went to a doctor. $106 and a confirmed case of Strep I was out of there. There was a bright side to this story though, I knew the medication she put me on and I got it free from the Publix Pharmacy down the road. So I'm now on anti-biotics for the next 10 days, still highly contagious until roughly 11am tomorrow morning when they finally start to kick in, hooray!
Aside from that, nothing else had happened, but it has only been like 2 days since we last spoke. So with only 8 weeks left I have 5 major milestones left in my stay:
Until next time,
Stay Magical
