Chapter 2 (day 2)

Woke up early today, 7:45. Well actually Stephanie had to yell at me because I was sleeping through my alarm. I didn't remember where I was and just dismissed the little "diddly-doo-diddly-doo" as dream music.  We had a housing meeting at 10 am but they told us to catch the bus at 9. Thankfully we got there right at 9 because that bus proceeded to fill up very quickly.  The bus brought us to the Commons  which is a housing complex for International student. It's gorgeous. I had a lot of fun, but there were points I feared Stephanie might fall asleep. The meeting was a lot different than expected. Not to ruin the surprise for anyone, but it was actually pretty cool. Lights, smoke machines, loud music, and trivia questions. And the wave. Disney is really corny in the most beautiful way. Went shopping with the roommates, there's a Walgreens and a Dollar Tree within walking distance.
       And next to the Dollar Tree? A Dunkin Donuts!!!!  I left Massachusetts making my peace with the fact that I would not see one of those for four months. I love Dunkin Donuts. I don't drink coffee though. Hot chocolate is my drug of choice. I don't think they would have hot chocolate down here though. We cleaned our whole apartment today, washed every piece of cutlery that is in this place. The front desk actually gave us some new ones and we also told them about the broken table and the two drawers that are suffering greatly. They're gonna send someone out to fix it/ look at it. Cool. Stephanie cooked us pasta for dinner and it was delicious. We enjoyed our first night as a family. Tomorrow I have Traditions, first session at 8am and they have it second session at 2pm.  Also tomorrow the new roommates will be coming. We got a letter today basically telling us to be nice to them and make them our friends. If they don't want to be our friends I will just show them the letter and say, "well we are supposed to be friends!!" And of course I do want to be friends with them.  I miss home today but I feel better about it. I'm here because I want to be and because it's awesome. I will see my family in a few months and in a few more months I'll be home. For now, I think I'll just enjoy the magic...
