Ousted and a To Do list!

So in 4 days my brother is getting married and because of that I have now been ousted from my room, my aunt and uncle came in yesterday at 11 pm and are staying in my room, we gave away our spare bed a few months ago so now I get the couch weeee!!!! Tomorrow I will hopefully be upgrading to a air mattress, (I tried to make a bed out of 3 body pillows but no go, the floor is more uncomfortable then the couch).
So I have started a list of things I need to get done before I go to Disney, here is the list so far:
Get gst direct deposed
Clean and pack
Cancel blue cross
Go get teeth cleaned
Medical insurance
Police check
Cancel cell phone
Get prescriptions from doc
Buy plane ticket
Pay room and board charge $100
Get usa/canada bank account
Take advance Drivers test
Renew Passport

So this will be fun, I will be renewing my passport because it will be expiring 30 days after my program ends and most times the border guards won't let you by if it even looks like it will expire when you are there, plus I'm hoping work on cruise lines after and so I want to make sure that if I get hired I won't have to delay it because my passport expired.
I'm still on a graduated drivers license which means I am still on probation and I have been for the last 6 years because I am too cheap and lazy to go take the advanced driving test to get my full license, but my current license expires when I am in Disney so I figured I was going to have to renew it anyways so I might as will take the test as well, then at least I could rent a car for a few days down in florida if I want to, I'm going to be 26 in a few days ( 8 to be exact) so I won't need to pay any other fees.

Will that's it for now,

Good morning,
Good afternoon,
And good night.

Money, weddings, moving and dragons

Hey guys so in:
6 Months
10 Days
9 Hours
55 Minutes
I will be in disney world. I realized that I can not spend any money on stupid things before I go.
So in a week and a half I'm going to be a bridesmaid in my brothers wedding and in about 2 months my family will be moving to a new place, I decided to move with them since I will be gone for a year I didn't see the point in getting my own place.
So right now my house is filled with boxes and dragons, that's right dragons for my future sister in law decided that she wanted to make stuffed dragons for wedding favors, it's a cool idea but a pain to make.
Disney wise I'm still waiting for my package and I really can't wait to look at it.
But that's it for now.
Good morning,
Good afternoon and
Good night

Beginning...

Hey guys
So I decided to join the trend of starting a blog, I was going to do a vlog but then I remembered that I hate my voice on tape so I decided to stick with a blog.
So I have recently got accepted into Disney's CRP (Cultural representative program), so starting on March the 8th I will be in Florida and a few days later I will be working as a merchandiser (hope that is a real word) in the Canadian pavilion.
So here is when I do a flashback and tell you how I got to this point. So last July 2009 (yes last July) I applied on yummy jobs website for the CRP and in sept. I got a phone interview, it went will and they just asked me some simple questions, here are some sample questions that I can remember and the answer I gave: Q) how do you feel about sharing a room with someone from a different country? A) I spent 4 years of college with people from different countries and they are cool to learn. Q) how do you feel about working in 100F outside? A) will it would beat working -35C outside not counting the windchill. (that answer just came out before I could come up with a better answer, but it made Kristen laugh so it was a good answer), that's all I can remember from then,so about 2 weeks later I got a email saying that I made it to the face to face in October however it was in Toronto and I live in Alberta so the interview was on the east coast and I am on the west coast and the interview was in three weeks and I just couldn't come up with money in time to get there so I emailed Kristen and found out I can postphone the interview and go to the spring one on the west coast, so that is what I did. In March, my parents (who wanted a reason to take a weekend vacation)and I went to Vancouver, it was cool I got there about a hour early so I was the first person there and Kristen was just starting to set things up so we talked for a bit and then she said she needed coffee so she put me in charge of watching her stuff and gave me a message to tell other people when they got there, so when people came in I got to meet a lot of them (corse I suck at peoples names so I remember none of them). About 2 weeks later people were starting to hear back so I started checking my email like crazy, finally my email came and I didn't want to look at it, will it turned out I was waitlisted so that sucked but I decided to wait it out but by the 5th month I relized that I might not get the call so I needed to decide weather or not to reapply but last week they made up my mind, I GOT THE CALL!!!! I will be going out on the 8th of March so in the end it will have taken me a year and 6 months but hey it's going to be worth it.
So for now I need to kill time, but that will be easy for the next 2 weeks I will be insanelly busy helping my brother with his wedding, I will be a bridesmaid and also my film company will be filming his wedding so I got to oversee that and then edit it. Plus I get to start teaching film classes again so that will kill sometime.
But this was insanely long winded but I am now caught up and I will keep this updated (maybe...I hope).
Will that's all hopefully someone starts to read this beside me,myself and I.
Alright all....
Good morning,
Good afternoon,
And Good night.
