Currently feeling feelings of much excitement...
One of these reasons being, that I have been accepted for Camp America 2012 to work on A performing arts camp, I've got to sort some documents out and stuff but should be flying out to America the Middle/End of May for 10 weeks!!
Admitedly I am starting to feel scared about several elements...
Leaving home for ten weeks - If I had been to University then this may be a teeny bit easier, however the fact it is in another country is something that is really scary, my beloved mummy has come out on many occasions to pick me up from friends house when the home sickness has become too much for me to cope with whilst staying over at friends house. The fact that I wont have my mum and dad nearby, not to mention my Step-Mum and Stepbrothers, Step-Dad, Best friends, Grandparents, Cousins, Aunties, Uncles, The bench lot, Work colleauges s etc etc is really scary, I've only recently what a home girl I am and how much all those around me mean to me and the security they bring..(also not forgetting The Doris, whose 'Shniggles' I will miss more than anything, She is small enough to fit into my suitcase..I may have to try it <3) ..Also it's not somewhere with great communication, there will be no internet or brilliant phone signal, so reaching home will not be easy...at the moment it seems my best bet will be to take out a cheapy phone with credit on it, so I can text home/ make the occasional homesickness-induced phone calls.....
I've applied to work with the 7-12 year olds, which basically means I will be sharing a bedroom with goodness knows how many 7 year olds for ten weeks...hmmm...however I have a feeling if I am busy playing Mum/Dad/Sister/Brother all rolled into one, then it will distract me from my own feelings of obvious homesickness...At the moment I get butterflies everytime I think about it...I'm so nervous but soooooooooo excited!!
Another reason I am excited is that I have decided to move into student housing in Chichester for my second year of uni, despite some earlier doubts, I love university - it's just the travelling that makes the getting into university for 9 o clock and the socialising pretty hard, I'm meeting up with 2 girls tomorrow who will hopefully if we like eachother (though just from our facebook chats so far I can tell we will) become housemates and start looking for somewhere to live/ a couple more people to live with for the start of second year. The idea of living in Chi is so exciting, it will mean less money travelling, I wont need a car, I will be able to work later shifts meaning more money, it will be easier to get into University...and will also be amazing fun and very exciting!!
So yes exciting times indeeeeeeeeed!!!!
Loves xx
Check the drinking age in the State you are going to. Always carry passport or ID card.Some bars and Hotels will refuse to serve you . If driving, booze must be in the boot (trunk) otherwise it is an offence. They are more likely to persue you in respect of drink than murder. England it ain't. It remains a country divided by a common language! X J
