Flights Confirmed!!!!

Yes that’s right my flights are confirmed, those avid blog readers out there will know what this means... whooo yeahhh!! I have my Visa!!!!

I was actually bricking it last night... to the extent that I tripped over my own feet in the middle of the road, which really scared me because I got all worried I’d have cuts on my fingers and they wouldn’t  be able to take my finger prints but luckily my finger tips survived unscathed! There was another minor hiccup when I got there and found out you can’t have the same photo on your visa form as the one in your passport but there’s a chemist just about next to the embassy and I was able to get the pictures done just fine! I was ridiculously early so I managed to go through security at about half past 9 and was out again by 10.10!

It wasn’t really even an interview they looked through my forms and took my finger prints, then I had to stand in a second queue to talk to another guy who confirmed I was going to be Camp Counsellor, then asked what I was doing after I got back from America I said I was going to University and then he asked me where and what course I was doing and that was it! Visa approved!

Other good news I got my medical form back on Wednesday right after I wrote that last post. I did have to pay £50 for the privilege though which was not such good news! I do hate living in Surrey sometimes but then there are so many other things which more than make up for it so it’s all good really! So I put all my forms and things in an envelope and took it to the post office and sending it only cost £2.31 in the end, which wasn’t too bad. Five stamps it took and a sticker but it’s all gone!

So hopefully nothing can go wrong now! I mean on saying that many things could possibly go wrong... *scares self for a minute thinking about possibilities* but really it’s getting less and less likely now! And I’m getting more and more excited!

In other news I’m back at work now which is a bit of a drag but hey ho it’s really not that bad, yesterday was an inset day so we all got free lunch (jacket potato and chilli, coleslaw, salad, apple crumble and custard AND a choice of wine or shloer!) which was really rather good! Actually this week is turning out to be a rather marvellous week, what with that yesterday, the visa today, going to York (on my post-offer open day) on Friday and then going to see the Queen at Winsor on Sunday it’s all go, go, go!

Has anyone else been watching the new series of Robin Hood? How naff is that new girl they’ve introduced? Seriously! What is wrong with her hair? Why does she keep crying all the time? AND WHY THE HECK HAVE THEY ACCEPTED HER INTO ROBIN’S GANG? Grrr! Makes me angry! I’ve also been watching ‘All The Small Things’ (which I have been informed makes me a middle aged woman), and Britain’s Got Talent. Yes I am that cool... It’s shocking really isn’t it?

I’m trying to catch up the hours that I missed this morning because of my visa interview at the moment which means a bit of work from home, it’s not too bad though because I’m just going through all these surveys tallying them up. I turn on the TV and do it, it’s really not that challenging and my boss is happy that I’m catching up the time. I felt I had to because I’m not in work again on Friday! So I best go get on with that one!

Toodles!
