Is it really time for Pre-Screens again ?!

So I'll start off with some wonderful news ! I don't know if you remember from my previous posts but I mentioned my friend Erin who was also on the wait list from the previous application round? Well any way to cut a long story short- she was on the wait list for 7 months when she got an email to say that Disney were no longer considering her for a position :( So reapplied this time and got a no originally but then about a week later received a phone call inviting her to Pre-Screen :D YAY ! Very happy for her as she's been a massive help for me whilst I've been waiting :)

So anyhoo, back to the real reason behind this post- Pre-Screens ! Manchester Pre-Screens were on Friday (which Erin attended) and London Pre-Screens are today ! Very exciting but also scary because that means I'm having to prepare myself for a no because it won't be long until the wait list will fill up again.

I cannot believe it's been almost 8 months since my Pre-Screen and was 6 months on Friday since I found out I was on the wait list- time actually flies ! Friday (the 4th) actually signified another important date for me- it has been 11 months since my Dad passed away which means this time next month it would have been a whole year. Looking back on this year it has definitely been the hardest time of my life and there's been so many times where I've just wanted to wallow in self pity but I'm hoping this year has been sent to test me and make me a stronger and better person at the end of it.
