Camp Conowingo

I can't believe that on Friday night I will be finally leaving for America.

This is what i've wanted since FOREVER (since i was about 10/11ish).

I am excited, nervous, apprehensive and overall genuinely keen as for this adventure to start.

I'm quite excited about the whole missing NZ winter cause it is already freezing cold here,

I'm just so glad that everything is sorted. My visa (getting picked up Friday arvo) the fares everything is sussed! Sorted! Bags (half) packed and ready to go.

I can't wait.

This whole experience so far has been so nerve rackingly painful so i am well and truely happy to have it all over and done with! Camp friday and a lifetime of memories await me.

It happened.

It's amazing.

I'm going to CAMP!!!

Camp Conowingo!

It is so fricken awesome right now!

Downside is I have two weeks haha. I leave about the 11th of June.

So I have a lot of fun to plan for before that thats for sure!

Omg.

I am still in shock that all has worked out for me.

May 27th 2010.

Greatest.

Day.

Ever.

:)

Pinch Me Please.

Oh.

My.

Lord.

May 26th.

Note that down.

I mayyy have a camp.

Now i'm really REALLY trying not to get excited.

But if someone can tell me the difference between positive thinking and high hopes please let me know.

So everyone, just have fingers crossed :)

I'll let you know more on Tuesday when I find out more.

But im sure you'll hear it from wherever you are in NZ.

Please keep fingers and toes crossed!

May All My Dreams Come True This May.

So for starters, Happy Mothers Day :)
My mum is in another country so we'll skype it later.
Had to pay super expensive crazy fast post to get her a present in time.
I was like you're kidding me! But thats ok. Hopefully it got to her in time...

Ok so Camp.
What Camp?
Sorry people, just had to crack a funny.
Ummmmm yeah my status is the ever so boring still currently unplaced!
Suprise suprise!
Got an email saying 'just want to make sure people are still keen, got savings, passport etc'.
I replied with and ever so enthusiastic yes! I have stilll got my savings 100% intact in my bank account. I have a brand new black awesome passport (side note everyone - totally get a new passport, the photos are in black and white THANK GOD! My photo was hideous. I looked as though I had been punched in the face on several occasions, but with the magic of monochrome and BAM! normal looking Catherine appears.)

Im just sitting here, in good ol' Pukekohe, waiting patiently, hoping to hear some good news about my very near future.

I think my fav question is "Oh OMG America that's so awesome! When are you going?"
I pause.
And I really wish it was a pause for dramatic affect.
I truely wish it was.
But it's not.
It's a pause of "good question buddy. I really wish I know so this story could potentially have a little more excitemnt bundled up, but it doesn't"
Queue anticlimactic story.

I joined Tumbr.
It's quite cool with the rebloging and the photos and things.
I like it.
Check it out!

I still have to get a debit card and sim card trough the CA website. I keep doing the whole 'oh yup this pay day' but then i really need something else or its someones birthday or im moving house or i just really dont wanna touch my savingsssss. But i just really should get it I think. It will be worth it. I might do it like now-ish.

I dyed my hair.
Purple.
Ok 'rosewood violet'
I still just dont know about it aye.
People like it.
But I just dont know yet if I do.
But the worst thing about the whole thing...I squirted hairdye on the bath mat.
The grey bath mat.
The grey bath mat with a gigantic purple splodge on it.
Goodbye $20 to replace flatmates bath mat.
Ugh.
I'm not made of money people.

Ok thats about it for now.
Will update (here's hoping soon) when I get into a Camp.
Cross fingers and toes!



Anywho th

Ugh.

I want a Camp.
And I want it more than an iPhone.
That's saying something.
It's depressing.

April Fools.

So, approximately half way through April and still nothing.
One month and a half to go.
Super.

Positivity escapes me almost daily, as that is how often I think about how I've yet to be placed and I just cant seem to keep thinking that it's all gonna work out ok.

I'm an intense planner. I like knowing what I'm doing.
If there's an event at work and we need it sorted, I plan. I like planning.
Not like a strict minute by minute plan, but at least a general overview of my actions.
For instance, a date would be a nice place to start.

I've started looking down other avenues and options but to do anything else decent, I have to pretty much double my savings and halve the amount of time ill be in the States.

So for now it's just me, my tv, and my thoughts.

Adios Amigos.

It's really starting to hurt.

I'm trying to stay positive, but its getting hard.
