2 weeks to go!!!

well as some of you may know, I leave for florida in 2 weeks!!! I have a feeling this time will go by super fast!!!  I am starting a bucket list for the disney college program so when I finish it I will post it :)

for now, here is a trailer I made while messing around with the mac on my computer :)

I have also started packing and plan on going through my clothes tomorrow :) I'll keep you guys posted.

The formative college years

Well as many of you know my major right now is accounting. I picked that major because im good at it and economically its a good career. However im learning that its not what i really want to be. And theres the problem. I cant just be whatever i want because then i might pick something that doeznt pay or there isnt a demand for.  Here i am living my dream by moving to florida by being in the disney college program and its made me see that i should be living my dream all the time. But ive got to do that one step at a time. And it starts with the program. After that i think, wait for it,  that ill take some culinary classes at delta. Maybe even in san francisco. Yes i think i might go back to my dream of becoming a chef. Eventually i could go to the culinary institute of america and then maybe the disney culinary program and eventually end up at disney :) as a chef! What do you think? And this might almost certainly change and i might change my mind again. But as long as im happy and moving forward i think i will view myself as successful. Im trying to change my view on what that word means and i think it just might be working. :)

I Love the Gaggle

The gaggle is a silly term to describe a wonderful group of friends growing in the facebook group who get eachother but no one else gets them.  There are haters who hope they get terminated in Florida and then there are those who you can tell will be friends for life. 

I am of course talking about the Disney College Program :) I have met an amazing new friend named Bry.  He is a wonderful artist who is selling these cute little envelopes made of recycled old disney books.  He is reserving the set of Jazmine just for me and then I'm gonna buy the Lion King ones.  This way I can send letters home to my family and I encourage you to send them back to me in the same envelope if you are lucky enough to get one :)

I also have found my roommates :).  We agreed that we want to live in a two-bedroom apartment in the
Vista Way apartment complex.  My roommate is Hannah and my suitemates are Miranda and Andrea.  Can't wait for the matcher to open up so we can solidify that arrangement!!! 

I can't tell you how excited I am.  I think this is exactly the jumpstart to my life that I was looking for.  A chance to start over, away from Tracy, make some new friends, gain some new experiences, and come home a completely different person. 

This is going to sound morbid, but the life I live now is not one that makes me happy.  That is why I am changing the direction of it.  This is my dream come true in more ways than one.  I used to love life and I want that love for life and my "get up and go" attitude back.  And anyone who doubts that I can do that is crazy.  That is the life I was meant for.  I was meant to follow my heart, do things on a whim, and love people like there wasn't a tomorrow.  That is exactly what I plan to do and how I plan to live the rest of my life.  See you all on the other side :)

I can't wait

I really just can't wait.

I think it is surreal that in less than 3 months I will be living in Florida.  All alone.  It.....will.....be....great.  I....can't....wait.  I wish it were here right now.  And um I think that's all I have to say.  I'm just waiting....

Spring Cleaning Anyone?

Well last night I started the massive cleaning job that I have to do before May 14, the day of my flight. I have to completely clean out my room, cut down on my stuff, and pack everything up because I probably won't be moving back into this room. 
I started with under my bed.  Which actually wasn't as dirty as I thought it was.  And then today I definetly cleaned out my desk pretty well.  Got a bag of trash ready to go down and the motivation to keep going!!
haha I've also already started packing for florida.  The pile in my room includes: a microplush blanket, a twin sheet set, a belle blanket, a 42 piece set of tupperware, a cute little backpack (for work), a mini presentation board (can't hang stuff on the walls, so pictures), my suitcases, new bathing suit, a couple stuffed animals (2 Donald Ducks, moosey), couple picture frames, and bubble wrap for my xbox 360.  Yes it's alot and I haven't even started on my clothes, but don't worry I can get it there :)
I know I probably shouldn't be starting this early but the way I look at it, I can figure out everything I need to buy now so that I can pay for it while I still have a job haha.  having fun :) and can't wait

I got in!!!

Well I'm leaving in May for Walt Disney World!!! Can you believe it?  I'll be a quick service food and beverage cast member. I already have a roommate picked out.  Her name is Holly and she is a clean freak and a cook just like me.  I have a feeling that I will have the time of my life!!!  I can't wait to quit my crappy job at McDonald's and go stay in the Vista Waaaaayyy apartment complex.  May 16 is the date!! I just picked it!!!
Now I will have to create a packing list, go shopping, save money, and WAIT!!!
haha well i have to go to my crappy job so talk to you guys later!!!

happiest place on earth or bust!!!

Well my phone interview is over!!!!
I think that it went great.  She asked me why I chose the program, which program I prefer and why, if I am receptive to the fall advantage program(going in may instead of august), what my top three roles are and why, if I have ever lived with roomates(put a positive spin on that one :)  ), if I have any visible tattoos, if I have a problem with the Disney Look, about my work experience, if I have a driver's license.
She told me that if I get accepted and pay the fee then the website opens up to me.  Information that no one else gets to see is all of a sudden there for me.  Like the roommate matcher, picking my arrival date, rules and regulations, all that fun stuff. she said if I don't get in to just keep applying till I do. (I'm hoping that's a good sign because she had no obligation to say that so she must have thought I had a good interview and deserve to be in the program, right?)  She said I would find out within two weeks (or less!!!!)

I am uberly excited.  uberly.  I can only hope that I conveyed the right personality and that my wide choice of roles will land me SOMETHING.  Now just to wait and keep busy.....this is going to be difficult.....anyone want to go to Disneyland for the next two weeks?  haha
