ye couldnt believe how quickly the visa appointment was!!!

Magdalena i mite be goin to the bham recruitment fair (if i can get it off work) cuz i live in brum so if i do will let u kno and we can meet up!! also btw was gna say, that im studying at coventry uni aswell!! but am on a distant learning course this year so dont go in for lectures - but startin a full time course ther next sept!!!

ok cool so let me know when would you go
this is gonna be kind of offtopic but what are you studying in b'ham and why are you doing distance learning? i didnt know such thing exists lol;-)

and to all the people: is there any one going as a general counsellor (not specialist) ?? how much do they pay you for that and do you have to look after kids 24/7 ??

hey am doin a postgraduate certificate at cov uni - and it was a distant learning course - i need to do it so i can go on and a diploma then a masters in psychology!!

ye i will let u kno sooner the time whether i hav been able to get it off - otherwise it mite have to be another trip to london lol

im not too sure on the general counsellor stuff

hey lauren! let me know when you get your passport back! wonder how long it will take!

So who is going to London orientation? i'm tempted to get a train to london for it (as there reasonably priced just now) but would have to book soon! so let me know! xx

hey guys
i have a little problem with orientation, the one in birmingham is on saturday and i have to be at work so i have to figure something out

did they take your passports when you went to get visas?

hey mag i have the same problem!! so if i cant get it off gna book in2 one of the other ones bit further away!!

ye will let u kno ashley - hoping its b4 april cuz kinda need it then lol

i thought we get it in 7 days or something? or is that something else? lol

have all of you got your medical forms?
i gave mine about 5 weeks ago to that Coventry Student Medical Centre, the lady from the reception told me it's gonna take up to 2 weeks and they will ring me back
and I am still waiting, my friend brought her medical form to them few days after me and she is stil waiting as well !
this is kind of stupid isn't it??


how are you guys planning on taking all your luggage? i know that we need lots of warm clothes and I think I will take as many old clothes as I can so I can then leave them in the USA coz I wanna buy some things there for my friends and family and I might not be able to pack all of that

Kay are you going as a general cousellor?
i am still thinking about changing my role coz I am a campower
on the other hand I am not sure if I wanna spend the summer looking after children- bigger responsibility

I am so excited about CA now I just can't wait to go there;]

I am only concern about limited internet access, with all my exam results showing up I won't be able to check if I passed

Lauren all of the orientation meetings are just not suitable for me lol,
my family is coming for easter time so I won't be able to attend any of the sessions that time, after that I have my exams and I don't want to waste time for orientation meetings lol
confusing.....

yeh they do take your passport.

I got a text today saying that visa and passport im guessing is coming tomorrow betweren 8am and 6pm...im at work 3-6 eeeek!! apparantly our t shirts come with it too!

oh ...medical form....i hand to make an appointment to see the nurse and she filled it out there and then for me. Odd that you have been waiting so long!

I got my passport back today which was pretty quick!
I am going as a general counsellor and think it was about $750 for the whole time if i remember correctly, also it depends on how old you are. You also are looking after the children basically 24/7 but you get 3 evenings off a week, you sleep in the cabins with them though so guess you are on call. But sure it will be well worth it!!
I am going to the London orientation on the 4th in the morning, so ought to book my train ticket so it is cheaper!

i got a text aswell today saying my passport was coming 2moro yay!!! and supposedly we get camp america t-shirts with them. did u get a t-shirt alex?? xx

hi everyone, its been a while... ive been quite busy with work!!

Mag, I am going as a general counsellor... I was at boarding school for 5 years so i have some experience in being around girls and younger girls... but thats about where my experience ends!! If you want to change to a general counsellor that would be cool... but its whatever takes your fancy!! When do you fly out there mag, is it the same date as some of us??!!

I'm abit confused, is this still the main place for chatting and stuff or is it facebook... because im not too sure which one to check??!!

I cant believe how quick the visa appointments are, thats cool and that we get red t-shirts... is anyone going to wear theirs to the airport or just gonna take it with them??!!

Just to let everyone know its like 88 days until we fly out on the 8th june... so only 88 days to go... WAHOO!!!!!!

Theres a boy now too... that's cool.... HI OLLY!! I cant quite get my head around the fact that there are only 2 guys... you'll be outnumbered!!

I'm really excited now, I just want to meet everyone and get over there... just to warn you guys I love taking photos of EVERYTHING!! So probably from the flight over there, ill be taking insane amounts of photos... sorry, i'm a bit of a photo fiend !!

Well, i better shoot... i'll check both facebook and this later on... speak soon x x x
