Do you accept (my US J1 Academic) Visa?...
I'm sorry I have no time for formalities people, I have had my visa interview and, after a lot of waiting, I have been APPROVED! yay
It was quite a fun (long and stressful) day overall. My appointment was at 12.30 so I arrived as stated half an hour before that time and after a lot of rummaging for various sheets and id checks I made it inside. I found it to basically be a large post office, due to the number calling and booths, with a large waiting area scattered with seats. After a quick scan, I cautiously climbed my way over the nearest row of chairs and nestled onto the first empty seat I found. I re-checked my forms AGAIN then got out my revision. Lovely.
Thats right no electronic devices allowed peeps so had to resort to the good old fashioned english language and the awkward beauty of small talk with fellow Visa applicants. Luckily my number was soon called but to my dismay this first checkpoint was only to make sure my form-filling-in abilities were up to scratch (which they nearly were apart from leaving the Name any Countries that have Issued you a Passport question blank...errrrr...UK duh!) Soon after I found myself a nice new plastic chair and hunkered down for the great wait, which, as we all now, means a great opportunity to people watch! Then I saw Grivas over the other side of the room so I made my way over to him. Not long after our numbers were called and it was time for the Interview! Happy days.
Literally lasted about 30 seconds. Then I paid the courier fee and I have now been reliably informed that passport with Visa has been delivered! 'Woot' I believe is the expression.
Noowwwww I just need to pay the Program Assessment Fee, get the medical insurance, book the transportation from Orlando airport and...PACK! 16 days from now!!
Oh and I also selected my classes for the summer term. 1st choice is Creativity and Innovation: Gaining the Edge (oooooh), 2nd choice is Experiential Learning (ahhhhhh).
Also finished all uni exams now so I guess technically does this mean I am a second year?...just something for you to think about...that's your homework for next time.
I hope you're well. Good bye. Love ya.

Disney International Programs: A World of Opportunity
I received it in the post yesterday and wasn't really expecting it for a while so was quite cool to open up the letter and see it! But anyway its basically just PROPERLY confirming my acceptance on the program with a letter from Disney and a load of information about earning ($7.21 an hour), learning, living, etc. Also the 't's & c's' (apparently gambling OR sleeping while on duty are not allowed...does that mean we can do one of them?!)(If anyone from Disney is reading this then I'm only joking! Don't terminate me!)
Oh also there is a page about the Disney Look guidelines! Always a good read, now I just need to grow a moustache so that I can trim it in line with the guidelines! Other than that there is a parent fact sheet (yes I will be in a 'Wellness' apartment, so no alcohol for me) and basically it's just quite exciting! Still no word on visa numbers yet though...
Annnnyyyway...I'm going to bust a groove now so have a nice day!
