I’m here!! It is amazing! We have done SO much since getting here. We arrived at the Vista Way housing at about 6.30pm and got given out welcome pack etc then were driven to our rooms. We’ve been temporarily placed in Chatham Square as The Commons and Patterson Court are too full. But, my apartment is great! I live with 7 American College Program people and they are all lovely- my room-mate is also called Katherine, who is from Texas and she’s brought loads of stuff across so the room is really homely!
On Wednesday we had to be up around 8.30 to go to The Commons for the first of our form filling sessions. It was ok, but a bit slow when we were clearly all really tired out. Afterwards we all gathered and headed to Walmart. I hate it. It’s just too big and sells loads of really pointless stuff. I managed to get some bits though, and I have a cell phone. I got a cheap one for now that I can just text from although calls aren’t too bad- it just costs to receive calls and texts here so it’s much more expensive. As well as out UK arrival group, we’ve also found a Canadian to hang out with, also called Katherine (athough we’ve nicknamed her Canada)!!
Then Weds night we headed to DTD which was great cos we went to RAINFOREST CAFE. Although we were under the mushroom so missed out on the rain part!! Then went to look round the shops which was pretty cool!!
Thursday we had a lie-in and met later on for tea at Charlotte’s apartment, before heading to sessions on immigration and pay. They basically told us to behave ourselves and not lose anything!! After that we headed to our pool for a swim which was great. Then we decided to cook in Tori’s apt and then we had the most epic of nights. At 8 we ran for the A bus to magic kingdom TTC so we could get the ferry boat across to the entrance.” Canada” has never been to WDW so it was all new for her and awesome! We all loved it. Then we headed via monorail to Grand Floridian, had a mooch and then got the monorail back to the Magic Kingdom. We saw some bits of hallowishes but not anything that will spoil it for later on. We then decided to go to Wilderness Lodge’s quick service restaurant where I had far too much frozen yoghurt because I had a special moment with the machine and my inability to turn it off.
Today we had a lazy morning again and then went to the mall to buy Halloween costumes for when we go to Mickey’s Not So Scary. Can’t wait. We have 3 cats, a bumble bee, a fairy and a ladybug. Just got back and we’re heading for a pizza evening before going to Traditions early tomorrow.
It’s weird, I actually can’t believe that we’re here. We already have a Florida song: Proud Mary, hence the title of the post. We’re so cool! Will have time for more in depth stuff soon, hopefully, but we’ll have our gate passes tomorrow so maybe not!!
