Care Package

It's november. It's fall. It's officially, "seasonal". I like this very, very much. It's hard to think of anything as being "seasonal" in Florida, because it's pretty mild weather still here. However, my blood is indeed thinning, and what would normally be amazing fall weather is now somewhat chilly in my book. I got a very special care package from my parents this week! They had been telling me that they had something coming for me in the mail, my dad mentioned something about cookies, and my mom seemed very proud of herself for sending me something. So I went to the mailbox, hoping for some sort of an assortment of candy, or maybe a twenty to support my unhealthy coffee addiction. Instead, there was a letter addressed to me, with "big-ass care package" written across the back. Let me just tell you, this was the flimsiest, skinniest little envelope you could imagine. It wasn't even stiff enough for a solid postcard. This was clearly only meeting the printer paper standard. (There was also a letter from my dear friend, rachel clark, which made me so, so very happy!) Anyway, I walked back to my appartment with my expectations dropping with each step. I had ended up thinking, if a little note was all I got in the mail from my parents, it would still probably make my day! (and it would be fun to make fun of their "aweseome care package")
Back at the appartment, I grabed a knife and opened the envelope very carefully (because I don't really like ripping open letters, it looks sloppy) Indeed, it was printer paper!!! My goodness, this was funny. So I rolled my eyes a little bit and unfolded the piece of paper. There in my hands was a printed e-mail flight confirmation for the 9th to the 12th!!!! My parents are paying for me to fly home next week!!!! I litterally could not have been smiling any more without my lips splitting. I'm still just so happy to be able to visit home. Not that I don't LOVE it here, but I have to admit that I have been a little homesick lately. Needless to say, it was the best care package that I could have ever hoped for.

I lied...

Okay, so I didn't go to the character audition. I was going to go with my roommates, but we're waiting for the audition in November I think. I get to go home next month! My parents are going to pay for me to fly home on the 8th if I can give away my shifts for a few days! :) I can't wait to be back at home for a few days. Anyways, that's all for now, since I just realized that I think the audition conflicts with the dates for my trip home, so now I'm going to figure that out. Okay, well I'll post again soon!

Wow.... long time, no post.

So.... it's been a while! I'm just livin' the life at disney, ya know? I work a lot, go out, and sleep. Honestly, that's pretty much it. I miss home and I miss Greensboro. I hang out mostly with my roomates. (because they're awesome) We all still get along really well and the appartment is great. I got a care package from my sisters today (woohoo!) and just got back from work around an hour ago. (2 am) I work really late alot, which is pretty fun actually. I'm going to a character audition on thursday and hopefully will break into the entertainment side of the disney company! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes well. Anyways, I should probably try to go to sleep... maybe.

Shit's Weird.

The title really says it all. I don't know how to feel right now about, well, everything. On one hand, work is great, my roomates are great, michelle and my family are great. I'm living in florida. Hell, I'm living in DISNEY! I should really be saying that things are going great right now! In fact, the majority of things are going great, but I guess I just don't feel great. I do have my reasons though. Almost a week ago now, a beautiful, intelligent, and inspiring girl took her own life. Emily Roe was someone that I knew through sharing many friends and one common enemy. I can't even really say much more than that about it. It all confuses me so much on so many different levels. I miss so many people right now. I feel confused, sad, frustrated, and so many other things. I'm not at home so I won't be able to make it to the memorial service. I wish I could be there. However, there is going to be a live streaming of the service online. I'm anxious to watch it. I don't really wan't to watch alone, so I asked Michelle if she want's to watch it with me. I totally understand why anybody wouldn't want to watch something like that though. So if she can't I'll probably just call one of my sorority sisters that's down here and ask her for the favor. I want to be at home right now more than I have since I got down here. I love it down here though... weird. Shit's Weird.

Disney

I'm here!! Disney is great so far. I haven't finished training yet, but I'm working at a restaraunt called Cosmic Ray's. It's in Tomorrowland which is in the Magic Kingdom. It's actually the 2nd bussiest restaraunt in the world! At least I'll never get bored, right? My job will be in the front of the restaraunt, bussing tables, being a hostess, etc. It's definitly a great job. I'm right next to Alice's tea cup ride, the Rapunzel meet & greet, and the Cinderella Castle! Apparently Cosmic Ray's gets PACKED at nighttime, when the fireworks go off above the castle, I guess we have a pretty good view. Well anyways, I live in an appartment complex called Chatham Square. I had the option of having a four bedroom apartment (8 girls), or a one bedroom apartment (2 girls). Call me crazy, but I chose the four bedroom. My reasoning is as follows: To begin with, it costs less. (maybe only ten dollars a week, but whatever) Also, what if I were to opt for the one bedroom and ended up absolutely HATING my roomate. No thanks, I'd rather not be stuck in that awkward situation. Anyways, on a really really good note, ALL of my roomates are normal!!! The girls who's actually sharing a room with me is so sweet. Her name is Britney and shes from Washington state! (WOW!!) The others are awesome as well. Anyways, the pool here is really nice, and obviously the parks are amazing! That's about all for now. Gotta go hang out with people and stuffs, ya know?
