So does that mean I'll have to get another health form done? Gah I reeeeally don't have the time! Once I get the form I should be able to book to see my doc pretty much the same day but I can now only do that if it comes today! (Friday) eep. I've emailed Alex letting him know that I haven't received the forms and I'm going on Sunday...will see what he says.

So I take it that the health form we already filled out for Camp America is not sufficient?

If I was to receive the forms today I could simply take them with me then post them once in the US = wayyy shorter postage time back

Yeah, there's another health form, but you need to actually have a medical examination for it, so you actually have to go in and see the doc. Mine's a half hour appointment according to the website, but the price has really irritated me - listening to a cheeky bit of Hillsong to calm myself down!

On a separate note, I just got really confused when you said it was Friday, then I remembered that you're like 12 hours ahead of me Do you guys not have post on Saturdays in NZ?!

Ohh right. Yikes I wonder if they can email me at least the med exam form so I can get it done today. Yup there's post on Sat, but my local doc won't be open on Sat or Sun so it'll be more difficult (and more expensive) to book an appointment.

Oh wait I literally just saw the postman go by, went and checked the letterbox and found the papers have come through! Praise the Lord!

Hallelujah! Enjoy going through them - I took one look at them and panicked when I got them through Definitely keep a hold of them and post them in the States though

Also, I've just noticed my signature says there's 25 days to go. AAHHHHH!!!!

I notice that the health form asks very similar thing to the one I got my physician to fill out for CA. I wonder I could just use the other one....but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

I emailed Alex about it, because I had exactly the same point, which I think partially prompted him saying that they needed *everything* back from us. Annoying, I know, but gotta be done!

Ohh ok lol I think prob quite a few ppl asked him that. I have just emailed him asking the same thing xD

I have just found out that the physician I norm go to is on holiday 'til June. Looks like I might have to make an appointment at a walk-in accident and medical centre...if that would even work for this kind of thing lol.

Oh my goodness, I got my forms yesterday! Its so silly the whole medical thing because it is pretty much the same thing as the CA one, and its so annoying now because I have to book another appointment, pay more money just for them to sign a piece of paper! Oh well, I guess it has to be done. Pumped for camp though

Who have you girls got to sign the working with children form? Y'know the one where it says we need a witness or something? Like, can my flatmate just sign it or...?

I'm off to orientation today! Gotta go right across the mountain range in the middle of the UK for it, but it'll be worth it! And 3 weeks to go! Ahhh!!!

Yeah I'm just getting someone older than me to sign it but it can't be any of your family!

Phew e-mailed Alex and the medical form can just be brought with us to camp so that takes pressure of me getting it in like 1 day!

Do you guys know if we need to have had an injecton or anything?

Oh my goodness, thank you for asking about the medical form! I took it into the clinic on campus today and they said that it'll take like 2 weeks so I was panicking!

In that case, I'll get my flatmate on it. She's like 6 months older that me... That'll do, right?

I wouldn't assume so? The only one you might need is your BCG (TB injection - dunno if it's called the same thing outside the UK), but I was given it as standard when I was 14, so not worrying about that too much...

Heyyy guys guess what...I'm in the US already!!!

I just got my sister's friend to sign it for me coz she happened to be handy at the time lol. Hope it's ok as long as it's not family...so I think your flatmate should be fine Marie

Sent off all my forms yesterday, here in the US

I think the TB and MMR etc we got when we were around 11/12 years old would still be ok Kaitlin. I didn't get any extra vaccinations. Btw how was Auckland orientation?? I was a bit gutted that my early flight meant I had to miss it.

I cannot believe you're already in the US! I'm so jealous - here I am at my desk writing a 10,000 word essay!

I need to send my forms off actually - its apparently going to take 5-7 working days for it to get from the UK to the US, so like 9 days, and it's already the 23rd! Gotta get on that tomorrow.

2 weeks and 5 days to go! How mental is that?!

Ok thats good to know about the injections!

Can't believe you are there already! You get like a holiday before and after camp, what a sweet deal!

Still havent sent my forms, haha but I will tomorrow! Hopefully they get there on time

Camp is so soon! I hope I pack everything I need, still trying to figure out where the cloest shopping mall to us is haha
