Almost time!

In exactly one week, it'll be the day I've been waiting for! Well, almost. One week from today I'll be getting in my car with my mom and everything packed to go live the dream. It's finally almost here! Now, to just move everything out of my current apartment today and clean it tomorrow. Today's my last day of work at my current job, which, with the day I have ahead of me, is slightly daunting. So much to do!

There are many changes in my life right now, and I just keep telling myself they're all for the best! You see, I'm not a fan of change. I don't handle it very well. I remember back in junior high and high school, I'd get just about the same thing every single day for lunch. Sure, they had plenty of options, but I know what I get I liked, and I'm a terribly picky eater! So, like I've said so many times before, I'm kinda scared about being away from my friends (Well, Most of them!) and family for nearly 5 months. Sure, I know I'll make tons of friends, it's just a hard transition for a lot of people.

All in all, with only a week to go, I'm incredibly excited! I can't wait for the Road Trip of Awesome, Magical Proportions with my mom that will begin one week from today. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to upload pictures to this thing so I can bring you pictures of all the exciting things we see and do!

Until next time Mouseketeers!

Time slowly creeps on by.

Normally for me, it seems that time flies by, whether I want it to or not. This month is dragging by as slow as molasses in July trying to get to Christmas. I'm so ready for this fabulous opportunity. I'm ready for it to be here, and to live the dream that I've dreamed my entire life. I'm so ready to be apart of the magic that has helped to make me who I am and what I want to be. I can't wait to see Mickey!

I know this sounds crazy. When you think about it, I'll be away from my family for nearly 5 months. That's gotta be tough. I guess you could say that I'm ready to get there so I can experience and get back home (even if it's only for a little bit.)

As I've continue to ask...

Is it Disney time yet?

24 days to check in. 20 days til I begin the amazing road trip with my mom to Disney.

One month to go

Dear Bloggers,
Today is my 22nd birthday. It has been a very unproductive day seeing as I've been sick all weekend. Today is also the very exciting one month til my program starts day! What's terrifying is that I still have so much to do to get ready for it. I finally have a comforter though!

It's so exciting to think that exactly a month from now I'll be at Disney getting all settled in my new place with my new roommate(s). I haven't shared a room with another person in a while, so it'll take a little bit of getting used to again. The one person I've been paired with seems very nice, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know a bunch of new people when I get there! I'll be meeting people from all over the world! The chance to learn about new cultures is so thrilling. Maybe that makes me a nerd, who knows? Who cares? It'll be so incredible. All of it. I just hope I can not spend my entire paycheck on pins and outfits for Duffy.

I really don't have much exciting information for all you people out there in the world wide web. Hope everyone's day is phenomenal!

A little more than a month to go.

Walt Disney once said "Fantasy and reality often overlap." I'm about to embark on the most fantastical experience of my life. It's something I've always dreamed of. Working at Disney World, the place where dreams come true.

Disney has always been a part of my life, from the movies, to family vacations to Disney World, to dreams of Broadway. If you ask me what my favorite movie is I'll tell you Beauty and the Beast. Some of my most cherished memories come from one of the 7 times I've been to Disney World. Until it closed on Broadway in 2007, my dream was to one day play Belle. As you may be able to tell, I have a favorite princess, and nothing will change that! But what I'm getting at here, is that Disney is only a logical step in my life.

Ever since I'd heard about the college program, I've wanted to do it, and I've finally put in my application, and I've been accepted as an Attractions Cast Member for Fall 2011. I'm ecstatic, positively elated, and so many other extremely happy emotions. It's finally a chance to do what I've always wanted! Well, almost! My original idea was to play Belle. However, I'm pushing 5'9" and am a little thicker than the average Princess, but I'm working on it.

Attractions! How exciting is that! Loads of guest interaction and some of the most exciting opportunities  there are! Sure I have my hopes for which land I'll get. I'm crossing my fingers for Jungle Cruise, The Great Movie Ride, or Kilamanjaro Safaris, but I'll gladly take what I get.

Ok, so you may be wondering, who the heck is this person? Well lets get the boring part out of the way. I'm a theatre major from Houston, Texas. I'm 21 (until the 11th of July) and as all my friends can attest, I love Disney. In fact, as I write this I'm listening to my Disney radio on Pandora. I'm a nerd, I know, but I wouldn't change me for the world.

So let's see, I've got a month and 3 days to go before I check in. Honestly, I'm scared. I'm afraid of the homesickness, but I know I'll have plenty of distractions. 4 and a half months away from (most of) my friends and family. I know some will be coming to see me, which will definitely help! Wow, I'm rambling.

I wanted to start this as a way to chronicle my adventures, and let my friends, family, and other hopeful cast members know what it's like. I had found a few other college program blogs, and thought it might be fun to start my own. I'm hoping to update as soon as possible, and promise to take a ton of pictures to share.

But that's it for now. I'm tired. I woke up super early (for no reason) on my day off from my day job. So I shall take a nap.


See ya real soon!
