Life has been so busy for me since Big Ben struck midnight. I dove head first into my New Year's Resolutions with even more enthusiasm than usual (I'm a sucker for self improvement as well as lists). Things were going pretty well and I was progressing at a steady pace, until the night of Wednesday 15th January. Just as I was about to tuck myself up in bed with my hot water bottle, I quickly checked my emails on my iPhone after setting my alarm for work the next day. And what did I find there?
The word "CONGRATULATIONS" in enormous letters! It was a job offer from Disney!!!
As you may remember from my posts last year, I had applied to work at the UK Pavilion in EPCOT, one of the parks that make up Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. So my blog is about to become a whole lot more interesting!
My leaving date is Tuesday 29th April 2014 and I will be living, working and playing in the USA for a whole year. I guess my ELLE horoscope was right when it said that 2014 might just be one of the best I'd had in years.
I'm going to splash out on a decent camera before I go so I'll be able to treat you to lots of colourful, good quality photographs of my adventures. So far I've already booked my flight with Yummy Travel (a branch of STA Travel affiliated with Yummy Jobs, who are the middle man between applicants and Disney) and paid my Program Assessment Fee which covers all of the special events that Disney run for Cast Members while we're out there. This means things like pool parties, pizza parties etc.
There's still so much to do, but this blog is about to become one of my top priorities now as I actually have things to write about! However it looks like I'm going to have to extend the date for completion of my 23 Things until my 25th birthday, as I'll be out of the country for so long. Plus I'll have to add two more things to it, to make it 25 Things Before 25 instead :)
I am going for my tour of Big Ben on April 15th, not long before I go, but the Houses of Parliament and Prime Minister's Question Time has been rescheduled for my return in 2015.
Now I've updated you, it's time to get back to my ever-growing to-do list. Enjoy the week ahead!
