So...I so totally went to Vegas for my 21st! Literally THE best thing I've ever done! I love that I am one of the only people I know who can say 'Yeah, I celebrated my 21st in Vegas!' Not only that..whilst I was living in America for a year and working for Disney! Cripes! I'm so lucky to have awesome people out here too who came with me to celebrate. 5 in total..literally the best holiday EVER!
Its was gutting not to have all my usual friends and family around me but the girls defiantly made up for it. I think its the first birthday Ive ever had without my dad and sister too so I defiantly felt that space where they should have been, but its only one birthday and now that 'im all grown up' I'm gonna have to get used to it!
Of course I have now got the freedom of being able to drink again and obviously, I've been taking FULL advantage of it! I fricking love it! Its like Christmas and the novelty still hasn't worn off yet!
So Vegas was just over 2 weeks ago..gees..how time flies...and I've now hit the 6 month mark. Yes..Ive been here 6 months..yesterday actually. That's half my programme gone..in 6 months, this will all be over and ill be at home. That's such a scary thought.
But now that I'm 21..I defiantly feel like I'm enjoying myself alot more because I'm not constantly on edge if I've been drinking (obviously, when you underage drink at home..you get a slap on the wrist or whatever. Here, if I was caught, I'd get into a hell of alot more trouble, be terminated from my programme and sent back home..yeah..a hell of alot more to lose!) But I do feel happier and more at ease and I feel I can get involved alot more..not that I couldn't before, I'm just a big wimp worrier and didn't wanna risk it!
On a slightly related note..to do with birthdays obvs, living abroad when its your birthday does have its upsides...I'm still receiving birthday cards and gifts..its like its being prolonged...I LOVE it! :) And talking of gifts, I'm gonna rant about my mothers gift..she sent me a package that had a note on it telling me I couldn't open it until my birthday and obviously Lauren totally stole it and locked in her locker so I couldn't get to it! Its like she was on her side! But anyways..the night before we left, she let me open one of the bigger presents and just take the cards and smaller presents to open on my actual birthday. So you know when you shake/feel a present to try and guess what it is..well i shook it and it made a noise...a noise that you can tell it shouldn't be making. She sent me a photo frame..which had obviously shattered to bits as she hadnt packed it in a BOX like any normal human being with a brain would do! Not only that...the photo that was in it was of me and my sister, on a photo shoot that she'd asked me to arrange before I left England! Cheeky or what?! Cheers mum! AND...in my cards from her and my nan, I received money...yay i hear you say? nay..she sent me POUNDS not DOLLARS! WTF?! What am i supposed to do with that?! Okay, so that's my rant over. The thought was there...but my mother is stupidly hopeless and a little cheap..especially for my 21st...just saying!
So as I said, yesterday was my 6 month mark..I celebrated by being up at the crack of dawn to be in work for a trainer session as I'm becoming a trainer..well become now..
Stupidly pointless! They scheduled me to work straight after too. YUCK. I get into work and one of the trainers isn't well so I end up having to train...not only that..train in food running...until 9pm at the earliest! GAHH. I ended up doing a 13.5 hour shift yesterday..was actually not bad but talk about being thrown in at the deep end!
I was supposed to be going to see Kings of Leon in concert today...I should be there right now actually, but they've cancelled their world tour! WTF?! So literally the worst day ever yesterday and today!
Ive spent today nursing a stinking hangover from Lasses last night as I needed to blow off some steam, and treating myself to some retail therapy :) Defiantly the best way to cheer myself up! Am totally treating myself more often!
I have my first proper trainer shift on Tuesday which I'm quite apprehensive about but after yesterday, I think I feel a little more comfortable about doing it now.
Theres not alot happening now..its kinda quietened down in Disney life right now...nothings coming up other than training and I cant really think of anything else to add on right now. I'm thinking the hangover has something to do with it!
So with that being said..I'm gonna sign off right now as staring at the screen is making my head hurt and making me feel a little nauseous..oops. So just a little update for you..I shall add more soon!
Miss and love you all xxxx
