36.5 hours! I am soooo excited. It's such an amazingly great feeling. I've packed both of my suitcases which is rather fantastic- as I LOVE LOVE LOVE packing. Granted this packing was a tad bit overwhelming just because of how long I'm going to be away as well I tend to be a slight over packer. But I managed to get it all in! I still have to pack my carry on but that's easier as it's just my electronics, a spare outfit and some books.
I also made my shirt yesterday! It looks soo good. I'm really really happy with it. I'll upload pics of it soon but I'm a tad bit lazy right now. Although I can't share pics with you right now I will share this video that i've been OBSESSED with for several months now.

My friend who lives in Florida who was visiting Disney today left this on my facebook wall.
BAH! It makes me so excited. I also think it's awesome she left a picture of Toy Story 3 characters as it is one of my FAVOURITES!!!! It's magical how she knew.

Greetings from your almost new home for the summer. =] (ps... It's freakin hot today.)

So today I went out and got a hair cut! It was really sad because normally I go in an tell the hairdresser to do whatever. I really trust the guy I go to and he tends to do a fantastic job, but he likes to do trendy more modern fun hair styles. I told him I had to keep it traditional and kind of boring this time so he can't do anything fun. Basically he just gave it a bit of a trim. But I promised him when I came back in August he'll have lots of hair to chop off and do something funky with.
I also went to Shoppers this morning and spent WAYYYYY too much money for Disney stuff. I bought
Body Wash
Hand Soap (i'm picky about smells)
Shampoo
Razors
Tooth Brush
Tooth Paste
Loofa
Sun Screen
"feminine hygenie" things
Midol
Motrin
Claritin
Deoderant
- you wouldn't believe how much that little amount of stuff cost (I'll give you a hint.. over $100!).
Bah I hate spending money but I need all those things so I guess it's okay. Better now then down in the states. So I don't have to bring quite as much money with me.
I also went to chapters and got the newest Jodi Piccoult book- it's about a music therapist I'm really excited to read it. And I also got starbucks (Raspberrry Passion Tea Lemonade) YUMMY!

So for the week before I head to Disney since exams are over I think I may just read old blogs and prep myself for the fun and adventure I'm about to embark on. So keep any eye over there >>>>>>> For new links all the time. Hopefully I'll finally make it through my big long list. If I find any ones that reall "speak" to me I'll write a short blog about them.
As well I found out from someone who works at the Disney Store year round where I'm going to be located but for now I think I'll keep that a secret and not tell anyone (other than ICPs going down with me).
I'm starting to get excited about going down... this is the first time I've felt truly super excited. I think it's becuase it's all I have to focus on now- no exams, no essays just DISNEY!
Tomorrow I'm heading to Shoppers (pharmacy type place like Walgreens etc) to get all the soap and shampoo type things I'll need so that'll be really exciting for me. On Wednesday I'm picking up my old trading pins from my dads house, as well as a second suitcase to bring down with me. My mom has suitcases but just not the sizes I want- I want one that is the size between medium and small and my dad says he has one so hopefully it's the size I want. If not and it's pretty I'll use it anyways.
Today I also voted for the first time!!! I did advance voting since I'll be away on May 2nd. It was really fun and I'm really glad I did it. (go vote if you haven't already!!!)

So I kind of stink at this whole blogging thing. I got my Disney welcome package a little over a week ago. It actually wasn't as exciting as I thought it be/as everyone had made it out to be. As well I'm excited for Disney but I almost feel like I'm not excited enough. Perhaps this is because I have one exam still to go. I write this monday (Easter Monday) and right now am a little bit down in the dumps. This is the first Easter that I haven't spent at home. My family is by no means religious so it's not like Easter actually means a lot to me but rather just the time with family, special dinners etc is all very nice and I miss it. I'm at my house in London all alone- seriously ALONE! my two roomates who are going to live here next year are gone home for Easter the other 4 have moved out their stuff (or most of it) and are away on adventures.
I don't mind having a large house to myself, i'm used to it as I grew up in a large house and spent plenty of time home alone. As well it's really great for studying but I'm just not feeling motivated to study, pack or anything. Tomorrow will be my busy day as my exam is at 9 am on Monday and my dad is picking me up right after so I'll have to have all my stuff ready to go meaning tomorrow I need to make sure that nothing is going to die or grow in my room, and that I can safely leave it for four moths. It's crazy I'm leaving my house for 1/3 of the year!!!! 1/4 of my year will be spent in FLORIDA! It's a really crazy thought when I say it like that.
Below I have my packing list for all those going or looking to go I wish I'd found one somewhere that wasn't all about dresses and could be tailored to a guy or girl. Keep in mind I lounge in PJs and sweats a lot, I don't wear dresses or skirts, I love jeans even in the summer, and I don't own a lot of shorts.
So my packing list as I have it now (most of which is packed is).
2 jeans
2 sweatpants
2 pj pants
1 dress pant
12 socks - may have to buy some while i'm down based on uniform and such
undierwear (20+) - you can never have enough!!
2 bathing suit bottoms
1 bathing suit top
2 sports bras
all my regular bras
6 shorts
2 long sleeve shirts
camp hoodie (pull over hoodie)
marching band hoodie (zip up hoodie)
Marching band jacket (wind breaker/light jacket)
9 t shirts
black shoes
white shoes
dress shoes
2 flip flops
12 tank tops / undershirts
1 hat
2 dress shirts
2 fancy but not dress/yet disney appropriate shirts
