Ok so Miley has been in the spotlight a lot lately becuase of her new album (not that she's normally not in the spotlight...).
I thought since she's affiliated with Disney that I'd comment on her new album Can't Be Tamed. [plus, you know, I am avoiding study since it's so -boring-]
So first impression I was like...ew. So Britney-tranformed-from-innocent-disney-star-to-'woman'-with-sexy-attitude...if you know what I mean. ;)
However, after listening to the music without watching her creepy head twitches in the vid clips, I have come up with this conclusion:
Two More Lonely People
Who Owns My Heart
Can't Be Tamed
...are reasonable songs. I'm actually quite fond of the first one.
The other songs on the CD bore me. So I wouldn't buy the whole album, but I would buy the few listed above.
I'm mainly a lyrics person, but a good beat also is attractive.
I like *some* of the beats and *some* of the lyrics. Being able to 'escape' through them is what I particularly like. I can immerse myself and have fun with them.
Having said that, she's a little creepy looking, but I guess that's the point, she's trying to be all animal/savage like. ...though I have this feeling it's been done already? Ke$ha's Animal comes to mind...
Quirky, creepy but not all bad.
I think I prefer the older Miley songs like When I Look At You, but a change every now and then is good.
I personally [ignoring the pole dancing stuff] am glad songs like Party in the USA exist, because they are fun! ...and I can totally relate to that one! When I'm in L.A in 8 days I will be craving it!!
Don't hate me people who don't like Miley! It's just my opinion...
I'm basing my opinions soley on the edited manufacted CD songs - not her live (I do know she sounds different live...).
Feel free to let me know your opinion.
Ok enough distraction

Get me out of here, pronto!
This post is a little bit of a whine (just a warning)...
There was a time where I never thought I'd leave home because I 'wasn't like most teenagers.'
In fact I hate a lot of stereotypes that I have been classed under. Especially this stupid 'Gen Y' thing. Honestly. I'm nothing like the stereotype, and being lumped into that 'group' just makes me mad.
Secondly, I don't know how many people who read this have separated/divorced parents but I haaaaaaate it. HATE.
..anyway I don't want to be like 'most teenagers' who want to move out and get away from their parents, but I think I have just cause. I just am at this point where I can't stand it any more and it's actually upsetting to me.
Although the USA is going to be a big shock to my system, it will be an amazing escape for me. Escape from life here, escape from feeling like I'm in CHAINS and escape from this stress and misery.
...so yes. I'm scared, excited and a bundle of other emotions... but I think the USA is going to be just what I need.
Mum descibes me as a butterfly...and I can understand that analogy.
Thank goodness for supportive people in this world. Not sure what I'd do without you.
*hugs to everyone who's been kind to me at any point in my life (I don't care if you don't like hugs :P )*
Speaking of nice people, some of the lovely ladies at my work (last day today - really didn't feel any different though...) - thank you for your kindness.
Just so ya'll know, I will be talking more about DISNEY, when I'm there. It won't just be a random blog on my feelings. hehe.
10 days!
xx
P.S.
--> I invite you all to make an account (doesn't take long) and reply to my comments, then it won't be so one sided! Comments make me happy... ;)
I'd love to know that
a.) I'm not talking to myself and
b.) ...what your opinons are. If I blab on about stupid things that bore you, let me know. Democracy = freedom of speech. ;) I disapprove of swearing though, so please write that elsewhere
gracias.

Give me some of that patriotic-ness
11 days to go - I'm -freaking- about my exam because there so much content it makes my head want to explode! Usually I don't feel this un-ready for an exam :S...
In other news - I have a leg virus(you catch it like a cold). Very random but luckily it's curable! I have to use 2 nasty smelling creams (one is fluorescent yellow!) and take 2 sets of tablets though (one of which is a steroid...makes me sound like some body builder?!). ...good news though - it should be GONE before Disney! Yaaaay!
Today is my 2nd to last shift at work. My NZ work, at least.
Isn't there a strange irony in being excited about finishing one set of work and uni, only to be going to another set?! Bizarre.
Lastly, I really wanted to share with you the awesomeness that is the 4th July t-shirt I get to wear! My Texan hosts suggested the idea - so cool! I can't wait! I've always wanted to see a 4th July! :D

Disney University Opportunities
I got another e-mail from Disney today (they are coming more often and it's so exciting! :D ).
The e-mail reminded me to look at the courses at Disney University to try and have an idea of what I want to do when I'm there (if I want to - but I'm so keen anyway!).
I had actually looked into the courses before, but htis time I looked harder.
This is what I want to do (if I'm allowed :P ) :
Collegiate Courses:
--> Creativiy and Innovation
--> Corporate Analysis
Professional Development Studies:
--> Security
Disney Exploration Series:
--> Exploring guest service
--> Exploring leadership
Now whilst I recognise most of those don't directly impact my degree, I think any learning is good learning! I'll be able to apply it somewhere!
I probab;y won't have enough time to do all those courses - but I have e-mailed them to ask. I guess if I can't I'll have to CHOOSE. Eeek!
Suggestions?!

TWO weeks!
Heya everyone :)
It's been a while becuase, well, nothing much Disney related has happened! However it's so close I felt the need to update!
The last things I really have to do are pay the assessment fee (have to wait till I'm told how to first though!) and pack!
I started chucking a few things in my bags (oh my goodness how am I doing to fit everything?) but its not just like a normal holiday! Packing for a year requires more thought.
...at least I have my handy dandy packing list! (I once forgot some crucial things when we went to Aussie and since then I've always ticked things off a list... :P)
It's also not normal because I have to clean out my ENTIRE room at the same time. Not only that but apparantly I'm supposed to pack my entire room up too because Dad and Grandma want to move when I leave. Move house makes sense, since 4 bedrooms 2 people hardly is logical, but they want to move -countries-.
Alas, this means I have to get rid of a lot of things. Although they are going to kids who prolly want/need them more than me - I feel like I'm forced to give up little parts of myself. I know how I acquired pretty much everything in my room: the person, the occasion. I know I must sound a bit like a bower bird but I hate being forced to give up my stuff. Especially with people in my ear saying "oh you don't need that," "you couldn't take that to a flat" etc...
In other news, one week till my first exam. Not entirely great news. I will be super glad when it's over though! It's the final bump in the road. Then I have dinner and dancing with a friend (and he's actually PAYING. Unusual...) and a few other social meet-ups in between packing!!
I'll try update again before I go.
Laters,

I'm covered.
For the past month or so I've been pondering on insurance choices. I came to find that a 13month cover was very rare, unless you came back to your home country before the cover expires (hardly useful to me!).
I ended up going wih World Nomads as they were nice and flexible. They also let you choose the value of high cost items. Plus I used a promocode and got about $95 off the price, yay! :)
I'm hoping it'll all be ok...
Uni has been crazy lately as I've had so many essays due, but now that they are handed in (with a minor mishap where I had a panic attack when I realised I'd handed the wrong essay in for one subject!) I only have 2 tests and an exam left.
Which is much easier to handle.
The weather here is horrible. Wet and rainy and cold! Although its not very nice, hearing that its on average 30degrees C in Florida, makes me wonder if I should just enjoy the cold while it exists! The heat is one thing I'm scared about.
One good thing is I'm meeting more and more NZ people who are going in July, which is great! Everyone seems lovely and that's always a good sign!
35 days till the big adventure!

Visa APPROVED
So after chasing the mail place I finally got my hands on my shiny new visa!
When i looked at it I was like - what? I get no letter telling me I actually have it? I guess since there's a giant sticker in my passport I can assume that is it haha.
It came super quick! I had my interview last thursay, and it came that sat!
Anyway, I'm so happy that I have that secured now! I was freaking out for a few days, since I had my flights booked already when our rep said not to do it before the visa (on the like 1% chance you wouldn't get your visa).
Only 53 days till I leave and its getting more and more exciting!
The couple who are going to be looking after my in Texas sent me a link to the Rodeo we're going to and it looksso much like I've seen on the tv - so exciting!
I mean everyone is wearing cowboy boots and hats and their parade on July 4th is to celebrate "Mom, Dad and Apple Pie". Awesome. :P
Right, back to uni... EWrgh can't wait till all the assignments and examsare over and I can just think abot Disney!
