Chapter 1

I will be arriving in Disney January 16th and I will be leaving May 18th. These dates are rock solid people. I'm meeting my roommates the 16th and I am working a 9-5 at the library the 19th of May. I know some people get extensions on their time (or numerous extensions), but I need to be realistic. Sure I may absolutely love it there, but I still have at least two and a half years left of college. Plus my family and all my friends are here. My life is in Massachusetts. It actually really freaks me out that I will be living, basically by myself, in a state more than a thousand miles away from everything I've ever known. I'm so topsy turvy right now between frightened and excited, I'm like Rapunzel from that scene in Tangled where she finally leaves her tower.  We'll see...

[after leaving her tower; happily] I can't believe I did this! [Nervously] I can't believe I did this. [excitedly squealing] I can't believe I did this! [nervous laughter] ...Mother would be so furious. Well, that's okay! I mean, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right? [rocking back and forth] Oh my gosh... This would kill her! [running] This is so fun! [puts head against a tree] ...I am a horrible daughter. I'm going back. [cartwheeling] I am NEVER going back! Woo-hoo! [facedown in the grass] I am a despicable human being! [swinging around a tree]Woo-hoo! Best! Day! Ever!
