First Day/Second Day because I fell asleep while writing about my first day...

   Yesterday was my first day of my second program and the whole (super long day) felt like deja vu. I am working Custodial at Magic Kingdom this time, a little different. I am still living in Vista Way, building 20 this time. I kept walking by buildings and being like "Lori lives there- oh wait.." It is so strange to be here without my crew, its like walking through a skeletal structure with no one around. But I moved in all my stuff successfully, I am living with five lovely ladies and they all seem very nice. I got all my groceries (quote unquote, since I only shop at the Dollar Tree) and my roommates got lost at Walmart for four hours. Lesson of the day: never go to Walmart. The new DORMs system worked pretty well for us, we got what we requested and got through check in ver quickly thanks to it.
     I took a nap for a bit (thankfully) because I got zero sleep thanks to my anxiety/ excitement. When I woke up I got some stuff from Walgreens with my roommate Kaitlyn. And then, when the girls finally returned from their Walmart dis-adventure we decided to go out to Falafel to go dancing.
 

It was fun. It was really nice to bond so quickly with them and I am eternally grateful that they are so fantastic because its making this transition (and missing my old roommates) an little easier. But actually Paige and Lauren will be down on Monday, so I wont have to miss them for too long!
      At Falafel I actually ran into Jay (he had told me he was going to be there, it wasn't actually like a really cool coincidence). I got to meet his friends and dance with them and then they invited me to IHOP after. It was fun. If I closed my eyes it was almost like last time. Not a bad first day if I do say so myself!
   Today I tidied up, finished perfecting the unpacking process, did another Dollar Tree run for all the things I forgot (it was a lot of things..like a LOT), and did inventory of our apartment.  Now I get to go the 3 o'clock housing meeting (alone, of course(my roommates all have earlier meetings)) and then I have tomorrow off. Not really sure what I'm gonna do with it, already did all the things that need doing and I can't get in the parks yet. But I mean spending a day doing whatever I want sounds pretty awesome...
Especially in Florida.

Up Where They Walk: Adventure Time!!

    My flight is in less than twelve hours. Anxious is not even close to describing how I feel right now. Thankfully I'm a realistic enough person to realize that tomorrows not going to be like last time, it's not going to be a fairy-tale or perfect either. Somethings will most definitely go wrong (ask my nightmares), but so is life. My life is an adventure that I am ready to renew. I'm definitely excited to go and to be there, it's just the getting there that's scary. I'm very lucky to actually know plenty of people that are down there or are going to be down there. I'm excited to get down there and start a new job (sort of), meet new friends, and enjoy the beauty of the opportunities I have been handed in life. I'm really lucky in the things I've gotten to do in life. I'm also lucky to have met some amazing people along the way. Well then, here's to another adventure!!!

A Whole New World: Getting out of School and Back to Disney World

    Only nineteen days. Crazy. I'm halfway through my final papers, the end is so close I can smell it. Not taste it yet. May 14th is the last day of classes. My last shift at PF Chang's is supposedly the 15th but I haven't had a shift there in weeks so who knows? Oh, and I didn't tell you guys last week, I found a roommate and she seems fantastic. That's pretty awesome, takes a weight off of my chest. Now I just get to do some mini-adventures before I leave and pack. I'm hopefully going to the beach next Tuesday with Sam and Maria from school (get a tan on my pale legs if you please) after our final day.  Then white water rafting and general happiness.
  I am definitely excited to get to go but I'm someone who severely stresses out of everything. So while I'm thrilled to go down there and see some old friends and exhubarate in the Disney-ness again, I am scared of what I'm leaving behind. Thus far I have been unsuccessful in my search for possible credits for the program, so I may just drop out of school. Kidding, kidding, I kid. Maybe.
   I got to see my friend Shawn this weekend. He is the one who also worked at WSC and was in my last day story, and is one of the best friends a gal could have. Besides Jesus, Audrey, Andrew, Anna, Todd, Julia, Renae, Jess, Chelsea, Stephanie, Lauren, Paige, Jillian, Stephanie, Philaire, oh gosh it's actually a really long list.
  But so Shawn came up to Boston for the weekend for his friends party and I got to see him for a little bit. It was fun, I think he actually may understand the Boston T system better then I do. I met him at his hotel and went all Aladdin on him: I showed him my world. We went in town to Park Street and walked around the Freedom Trail. Then we went up to Faneuil Hall and ate some supper. It was nice. And we walked around the city. I was glad to see him and it was fun. I think he liked the city even though he'd formerly promised me he wouldn't. I like Boston, but maybe thats because I live in suburbia. I want to move in town someday. That would be great. But yes, it was great to see him. I actually also got to see my friend Chelsea when she came to Boston back in November/ December, which was great. Maybe one of my last blog entries was wrong (the one in which I proclaimed I'd never get to see my friends again). I was actually looking into going to Ohio this summer before I got accepted into the DCP again, to see Andrew and Audrey. But hopefully now they'll be able to come visit me in Florida. And my roommate Stephanie is going to try and visit me this summer as well, which is grand and I'm very excited to see her again.
    Alright, well I'll leave you with the nausea and excitement building, ta-ta for now!
