More boring planning stuff.

So I'm leaving in 2 days.
I have my main luggage packed (I HAVE SO MUCH CLOTHES)
But since I have pretty much my whole wardrobe I realised I can just donate whatever is left because clearly if I'm not taking it, it's not worth a whole lot to me (other then my winter clothes)

I have less space then I thought I had so I'm definitely going to be paying extra for the weight.
I weighed my main piece when I had MOST of my clothes and it was 55pounds. But I realised that my third piece of luggage is too small. :(

We have the hotel booked for the first three days.
Or at least my Grandfather does. (I'm happy because it has a pool!)
Now that I've said that I sound so stupid because I'm sure EVERY hotel has a pool.
I'm a loser and completely forgot where I was going.

It's only 1.5miles away from Disney.
And 8 miles away from where I will live!

I also have all of my paperwork scanned and printed so I have TWO copies of everything.
I have ~$900 to take with me.
So I'll completely be safe with paying my rent at first and getting my work shoes, food and a TV hopefully.

Either way, I'm just writing this just because.
I promise this will be 100% more interesting once I get there.

seevveen ddaaaayyyysss

Well folks,
I leave in a week?
So bizarre.

Myself and Aaron are cute and went and made teddy bears for each other at bears and cheers. I'll post pictures of them later. We named them "Walt" and "Flo" (flo is for the beginning of florida...) They are both VERY fat and will make great cuddle partners for us while we are apart. We also went to The Peppermill and Dairy Queen last night which was lovely.

My family going away party is tonight as well. Man my house is like party central.

Mike has left. He's now in Welland. He left on Wednesday. I have not heard from him yet but I'm sure he's okay. Kristen and Anthony leave tomorrow and boy oh boy is it ever crazy. Everyone is leaving and it totally breaks my heart. Aaron keeps making fun of me because I am also going and I get so upset that everyone else is leaving, but I can't help it. They're going to be in a strange place and I worry.

But at the same time I really take comfort in knowing that I will not be the only person that's away from the rock and my family. So we can talk and be big sooks together.

I've purchased my health insurance and all of that is figured out. I also got a second license so that when I get my Florida one I'll still have my Newfoundland one. I said I "lost" it. So all that is left to do now is pack. Amazing.

We don't need no crowd control!

Alright so 15 days.
Here's where I am in regards to preparation to leave.

-Semi packed my Canadian Stuff and some clothes

-Huge going away party tomorrow

-Costume ready for tomorrow

-Around 450.00 American to take hoping to have around 700

-Last day of work on Friday the 29th

-Family going away party on the 30th (the numbers are going upwards to 50? I didn't even know I had that much family?)

-Cleaning out my room almost every day and I STILL CANNOT GET ANYTHING DONE

-Vacation with Aaron is finished (it was lovely) I'm really going to miss being with him 24/7

- My flight is booked for September 6th, 2008 my Uncle Greg, Cousin Misty and my Grandfather and Grandmother and driving to pick me up at the airport. I am then spending three days with them before I start work.

-Insurance is figured out just me and dad have to go in once he gets home and purchase it.

-Yummy Jobs called the day before yesterday to tell me I've been approved through the USA immigration something or other and my Visa will be coming in the mail in around a week or so.

Either way the rest is just a cake walk (I hope)
I need to write up a list of things I need to buy/pack before I leave and start washing everything. I also need to start ripping some of my favourite DVD's so that I can have them.

Also, Hey guys!
I just sent out a mass message to let people know about my blog so they can keep track of me while I'm away! Feel free to leave me comments (not so important now because I have not left yet) but I think it'll be a great way to keep to contact with some of you!
Man, I'm going to miss this place
