Hey peeps!
Sorry for the long silence but there was really nothing going on I could have written about. As you probably know, I have successfully handed in my BA paper and am now anxiously awaiting the results which will probably only come in January. Meh.
In other news, I have received word from both IS and Disney, two emails welcoming me into the program with detailed information on all dates and documents needed and with the promise that my Disney pack would arrive soon.
And tadaaa, my Disney pack arrived today, only days after the emails. It contains several documents needed for the visa application process, as well as the Disney Look guide which I will talk about in a moment. Also, a free sim-card for use in the US. Probably not going to use it but still, pretty cool.
So now that I have all my documents in hand, I can take pictures, fill out forms and then make an appointment at the embassy so I should have it all ready with plenty of time to spare. Awesome! Can’t say the visa appointment doesn’t make me nervous but it’d be much worse if I had less time to do it. The possibility of not receiving it in time would make me really nervous.
Now, the Disney look guide. Disney has really specific regulations on how their employees need to look. Starting from hairstyle- and color, to the length of fingernails to jewelry and accessories, and down to the proper work shoes. Rules on how to behave in public, how and when to wear your name tag and maintaining proper posture, just to name a few. I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot and it sounds strict. Luckily, it doesn’t bother me. If I have to change my hair for this and can’t wear certain makeup or nail polish for a year, that’s fine with me. But I know some people might find this difficult, so it’s definitely something to consider before you apply.
In unrelated news, it’s Dec 20th and we made ALL THE APOCALYPSE JOKES in the library today. It was a lot of fun, really. It was my last day of work before the holidays and it made sense to spend it lighthearted and not think about things too much.
I also finally have all my christmas presents ready, which was actually difficult this year. And so expensive, omg. Definitely don’t have anything left over to save for Florida this month. Better luck next month, I guess.
My plans for the next few days contain seeing the twins for their birthday tomorrow, going to the annual christmas dinner with my friends on sunday, spending christmas eve with my parents and then christmas day with my brother and after that, doing absolutely nothing until new year’s eve. Sounds awesome to me, I’m in a really festive and happy mood.
And with that, I wish you all the happiest of holidays, a good start into the new year and, should the world end tomorrow, good luck.
Over and out.
