So Pretty!

Fully loaded too. I picked it up this morning... I should be finishing up my work term report but instead I'm going to play with my new Lappy!

Sad news, my holding deposit has not made it to California yet. This is BS. Now I need to know where my money order is! Lets hope it will be there by monday. I know they will hold the apartment for me... but i just don't want to lose the money.

Detroit to Phoenix to San Jose

The ticket is bought... it's really real... May 10th 7:55 AM I'm on my way... 7 hours later at 11:45AM... I'll be in San Jose...

Man is that ever scary to think about!

Very Interesting...

Okay... So yesterday afternoon I receive the email that my DS 2019 would be sent to me. This morning at 10am Tyler signed for the package. Wow... FedEx is great! So after I get home from doing a whole lot of work today. I open this package and unleash a new stress kinda.... Now I new fee to pay... $100 to SEVIS a department of the department of homeland security (DHS is what it is referred to as) What the fee covers I have no idea really but without paying it I can't get into the country. So that something to do this weekend too... Tomorrow, I have a phone orientation with CDS people to finally talk about all my questions which is great. thats at 1:00 est.

Just a few minutes ago, I recieved a phone call from the Villa Monte... I hope they were going to say, the apartment is your we are faxing the lease tomorrow... but they still haven't recieved my check/money order thingy.... BUT... they asked me if I would like to be on the second floor or on the first... which is pretty cool... and i choose the second floor, however now i think my apartment number has changed, so I should call her back and clarify.

I'm going to buy a plane ticket, a laptop and a SEVIS fee before saturday I think... Thankfully Friday is Payday so that helps a little.

DS-2019 == J-1 Visa ;

So I have some great news... I think...

"Hi Janna-Lynn,
Your DS2019 has been issued and will be sent to you via FedEx ..."

What that means (i think) is that I have my J-1 Visa and I will be able to work .. err.. i mean train in the states. And they sent out the fedex by the end of the day today! WOO! Big improvement on yesterday when they said that they didn't have the visa application yet. I feel twice as good now.

As soon as I get the document (and a little clarification) I'll be buying my Plane ticket. Time is closing in ... I think the ducks are lineing up just fine.

Haha... so geeky

Also... "Once we receive a complete application, we can process it in 3-4 business days, so if you are a Canadian citizen you should not be worried about receiving your paperwork in time to start on May 16th." Makes me feel better... !

Time keep slipping away...

Its hard to believe that this will be my last full week of work at the university of Windsor. Theres so much that I haven't finished yet! I could probably work for another month just to get caught up. Scarier thought than that... I have to move to California soon! Like 2 and a half weeks and I'm supposed to be there! This is just crazy.

So I will be outlining my plans for this week...
Work
- Finish Calendar's Usability Report (Tuesday)
- Transfer data from computers (Friday)
- Make a report of the Focus Groups (Monday)
- Make a brief summary of the Music Follow up study
- Work on the OUCC presentation
- Work on my work term report (ALL WEEK)

Cali
- Once I receive confirmation about my security deposit for my apartment (sent yesterday) I'm going to set up a US bank account.
- Really nail down what I want for my laptop
- Talk to the school's travel agents to see about booking a flight to San Jose

Other
- I want to work out this week at least three times
- Michelle and I are going to make Chicken Ceasar salad one night.
- Michelle and Tyler would like to buy a desktop computer
- Party on Thursday
- Party on Friday

I think that should be enough but i might add some more... I'm going to go work on my work term report... It really really needs to be started

Its probably going to be pretty small...
