Rotary Visits!

So today I attended a Rotary meeting for the Windsor Roseland Club, and it was such a boost of energy I got from the group. I really do enjoy all of the work they do and they truly are an inspiration of how to go about a life full of meaning and above else : service. I have learned a lot of things from them.

And tonight was my going away party so I got to see some good friends over some great dinner and I am very greatfull for these people. Some I've known since grade school, and some only in University but they have all added to my personality and there are just so many memories.

So the countdown continues... I bought a few books for the plane, a new planner, and I am still waiting on a few more things in the mail, in regards to residence, but I am almost ready!! I started to set aside clothes that I wanted to take with me, and now i am just uploading music to my ipod for the plane ride.

Heres to another great week!

20 Days!

So I ended up getting an A- in my class! So that was exciting, I took a look at my to-do list and it has begun to dwindle down. I brought up the luggages to my room so I will start packing by next week, as our frosh week will be starting up soon so I don't want to pack and be running around volunteering at the same time. But I am looking forward to volunteering for windsor welcome week.

I just bought a mountain of books for my 7 hour flight so I shouldn't get too bored! Haha
Now that school is done I am just waiting for a few more things in the mail to come and I will be officially ready to go! I love being done way ahead of time!

Anyways off to start a book!

One step closer...

So today was my final exam, it went ok, so I hope I did well. This course will have been my last class at the University of Windsor for my undergrad BFA degree!! So that was exciting, as when I get back I will hopefully be starting teachers college in September. Also a present arrived in the mail today : MY VISA!! so the arrival of that made the whole trip that much closer to becoming a reality, still waiting to hear back on which residence i will be staying in and my other paper work, but I am busy volunteering and helping with our upcoming frosh week called Windsor Welcome Week! So I cannot wait!
Cheers to another great week!

28 Days!!

So just got an email saying that my VISA has been approved, so that is a relief I was just so stressed out about it as I applied on the 13th, thought I wasn't going to get it until September! When I got to the office everything was fine, I had all my papers organized but turns out I was missing an appendix, but they took care of me, and now I am waiting for that to arrive in the mail.

Everything else has been progressing smoothly, I am currently studying for a final exam which will be on Tuesday. That class will (hopefully) be the last class I take for my BFA visual arts major!! Then I will be moving on to teachers college, so I will likely apply to teachers college while I am in England so that should be exciting!

I need to start packing soon, so that will be interesting! And there is this great site that has packages of kitchen and bedroom ware for very cheap so I don't have to go shopping it all comes together so I pre-ordered those, so they should be waiting for me when I arrive!

Now I am starting to get excited!!

31 days... the countdown has officially begun!

I cannot believe that tomorrow it will be one month and I will be on a plane on my way to the United Kingdom!! The first weekend in August my friends took me to Chatham Ontario to see tap dogs, it was a great day!

Last week they took me up to Toronto to apply for my visa, what a stressful time that was as I was finishing up my class and we left immediately after that. All my applications have been sent, and everything that needs to be renewed has been taken care of, so now I need to study and finish up the smaller things before I start packing! It has been quite an adventure and I pray that everything will continue to go as smoothly as it has thus far!

So here we are, tomorrow marks 30 days until my departure and there is still so much to do! I am getting very anxious but nervous all at the same time. I've been trying to spend as much time with family and friends as possible. Anyways I am off to study, heres to another lovely week!

Step by Step

So now the acceptance letter has come in everything has fallen into place, I made my VISA application, booked my flight, extended my OHIP coverage, and started purchasing travel items for the long flight. But there is still a mountain of paperwork to be done... but I know that I will get through it. As I stated before I took two classes, one art history which I got an A in, and this labour studies course which I am taking now, but will be done next week! It was good taking the class as it kept me occupied while I waited for everything, but now I just want to be finished so I can enjoy the rest of my break before I leave. Well I better get back to fixing this paper, heres to another week!
