my passport arrived yesterday...

and to avoid awkward conversations with my father, I waited until he had gone to the shower to go and scan in into the computer to attach to the rest of my paperwork and then send it off, I think it got there at about 8am Floridian time, which hopefully means that I will receive an email back later this week. 


Most likely the email will be asking me why I say I'm from Griffith, yet have my PSSF signed by RMIT. It's mainly because Griffith were douches and failed to return my emails, so I asked OUA yet again and they told me to get RMIT to sign it. LOTS of going round in circles. Hopefully Disney will just accept that I am doing subjects from different universities and let me through to the interview stage, where I hope to get a phone interview, I really ceebs working out how to use skype and all.


In other news I started my new job at Caulfied last Saturday. It was a good shift, besides the fact that I rocked up an hour early and wasn't really required to be there for a while. I was supposed to be cleaning the glasses, but I was promoted to actually working the bar after the other person that was supposed be on was a no show. which meant that we only had three people including myself working. It was so hectic, but I guess that's what it's going to be like. my next shift is setting up for the BMW Caulfied Cup, then I am working the cup as a bar attendant, lots of money here I come. 


I am also looking into working the Comedy Festival as a door bitch or something like that. It should be lots of fun, and not much lifting, but by then my back should be better. I'm seeing my osteopath again on Thursday where we will hopefully crack the upper back and the lower will need to be done again.


Until my next exciting WDWIP update..

waiting game


YAY I gots the form signed. If you're reading this and thinking of applying for the WDW International Program, I'd probably stop reading here, because all the earlier posts are just nonsense. Although you can read the post below to see how long it too me to get the Proof of Student Status Form signed...


Now all I'm waiting on is my passport to come in the mail, then I can officially send off all my paperwork and take the next step. I'm still not even sure if I'm going to get into the Program or not, but either way, I've been looking for second/third sources of income to help settle in/holiday beforehand, and the cost of flights and a laptop or rather a macbook air. (I can't decide if I want the 11 inch or the 13inch...) but I'm fairly certain that I will need more money. esp with 21st's and weddings coming up...


oi vey.

shattered my life

So I went to the recruitment session on Thursday at RMIT, sat through it all, and then when it came time for interviews I couldn't continue because I didn't have the Proof of Student Status form with me from my uni (Griffith). Hopefully someone at Griffith's student admin can fill the other half of the form in for me, or I could possibly get my trainer for the Dip of Management to fill it out... gosh this is so hard to do...

But on a positive note I've learnt that I can take part in next year's 60th Gang Show, because that's at the end of June and the WDWIP starts in August.Looking at flights now it's about $2000 for a one way fare to Orlando from Melbourne, with two stopovers, one in Sydney and the other in L.A. although I might stop at L.A and then go to Disneyland, Universal Hollywood, and all the touristy things there before going to Orlando and checking in.

Whilst we wait for the POSSF here's a video of a cat and a printer...

pottermore

it's official, I've finally got onto Pottermore. I'm waiting for my cure to boils to finish brewing. So so far I have got my Wand, Elm with Dragon Core, 12.5 inches, Brittle, my Tabby Cat, that I'm calling Oscar, all my books and such, and am in Hufflepuff. It's okay, but there was a bit of text missing (I presume) in the Hufflepuff welcome section...

you should also add me QueenSeer134

hoops

as I've said before, there are so many hoops I have to jump though to get into the program...

firstly as recruiters are currently in the country, I'm really wanting to go to one of the presentations, but I need to be one of the universities students. Oi vey.

on a side note, the renovators is so annoying, or rather two of the contestants, peter and the blonde girl in the green team. preparations for my 21st are speeding along rather fast, and good news world the next series of good news week starts tomorrow night. so I'm pretty stoked.

Mostly I'm waiting on a phone call from VicUni to see if I can go to their presentation or not...
