Visa interview!! So it started with me and my sister travelling from Preston to London on a Megabus for 7 HOURS! Once we got there we had 2 hours to try and find the place and for me to have enough time in there. Trying to follow the small map from the U.S Embassy was unbelievable it was like we walked in circles 10 times, then we saw across the park a small version of the white house with an American flag stuck on top, so we assumed we had found it. It then took three hours in there, standing in endless queues and I felt like I was being interrogated but then I heard the words, YOU’VE BEEN ACCEPTED for your visa, I was so relieved then we had to do the seven hour bus journey back.

The month before my departure I had the exciting choice of picking my disney class. I really wanted to do the innovation and creativity class but because I am international student they said that the class wasn’t an option for me, which really annoyed me because that was the class that related more to my university course at home. I ended up going onto the education course registration and choosing exploring leadership which I thought would help me improve my leadership skills.
