I'm officially in double digits! August 5th is only 98 days away. My program officially starts in 101 days, this time is flying by.
First things first, I received notification from Disney that I was not selected to be a Character Performer. I expected as such since there were so few slots and so many talented people that auditioned, and I'm ecstatic for any one who made the final cut :)
Onto happy news, I now have all of my apartment mates! All six of us in our three bedroom apartment, ha ha!
Mariela and Mereddy from sunny Puerto Rico, Maggie from New Jersey, Ashley from Massachusetts, Laura from Tennessee... and Emily from North Dakota, ha ha. I think I win for least exciting state representative for our living quarters! I have yet to communicate with Laura, but the other four ladies are very friendly and upbeat, and I am VERY excited to meet them all! It's bizarre, I'll be sharing my life with these people for five full months, I know they exist... but I have only met one of the people who is actually on my program from over 1,000 participants! (That being said, Logan is fantastic ha ha).
Non-Disney news! There is life outside of this whirlwind of Disney centered info, and I'm loving every minute. April is winding down... that means finals! Finals start next week, I only have three exams and I'm officially checked out ;)
End of the month generally means MOVING time as well. I've started the lovely task of helping Ali move out of his place, packing and drinking Shandy, watching Netflix and eating a lot of pizza is sure to occupy the next couple days! I've also officially scheduled the check-out at my apartment for May 31st at 11:00AM, so the first of THREE (possibly four) moves in the next eight months is right around the corner. I'm dreading it... I have SO much stuff it's borderline ridiculous.
I can say, with full confidence, that life is GOOD. Things have never been better for me, and I am so happy I'm thinking it might be contagious :)
Buffalo Wild Wings is... well, Buffalo Wild Wings. Good news is the patio is opening soon, which means summer will be here before I know it! Bad news is I should PROBABLY try and find a pair of bermudas so I don't roast to death if I have a patio shift, too bad they make me look ultra butch. There are worse things.
Good luck on the end of the semester, and if you're part of my ever-expanding Disney family, I'll see YOU in 101 days ;)

time keeps ticking on and on
Time keeps ticking on and on... days keep moving forward! First and foremost, I still have yet to hear back about the status of my audition. I caved in and called Disney Recruiting to inquire as to what this lack of response indicates, and the recruiter was very friendly, and was happy to inform me that if I haven't received a rejection letter yet... I'm still in the character pool! Getting a role in the Entertainment cast at Disney is a long shot, there were over 2,000 people that auditioned for about 200 roles. For those of you as bad at math as I am, that's a 10% acceptance rate. Not so great! BUT I've made it this far so I'm staying optimistic, and either way I'll be moving to Florida in 107 short days.
Speaking of 107 short days, I'm starting to formulate plans in my cute little noggin about what's going to go down in these upcoming weeks! For anyone that didn't know, my flight to Orlando is officially BOOKED, I'll be departing Friday, August 5th bright and early at 7:00AM and should arrive in sunny Florida right around 11:30AM Eastern time.
Before that... the weekend prior to my departure I am trying to plan a "Disney Pub Crawl." Check back for details, that will be Saturday, July 28th. We'll see how sharp my theme planning skills are since I haven't thrown a theme party since the epic Harry Potter bash July 2010.
Spring 2011 semester is wrapping up, finals are two weeks away, and things are coming to a close. I'm looking forward to the semester wrapping up, but the rate that these weeks are passing is kind of frightening. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to start a new phase of my life in a brand new place, but things have been going very well for me here. Life is good, and it's hard to leave it behind.
Things in my life are fantastic, to say the least. I can honestly say I haven't been this happy in a very long time. This happiness doesn't depend on others, but some great new people around sure helps. I've been dating someone for two months now, and having him in my life is a breath of fresh air, a relief that I didn't even know I needed. Recently, I've realized that I've never been someone's one and only. There's always been another girl... whether it's a "best friend" that he can't seem to stop staring at, an ex-girlfriend who is still in the picture, or even someone that they end of sleeping with while I was with him... I've never been the only girl in someone's life. For the first time, I'm getting a taste of what that feels like, and it feels good. I'm still riding the wave, taking everything a day at a time, and it is the best high there is.
I'm still biding my time at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was close to walking out on a shift about two weeks ago, and while I'm aware that I only have three months to go until I move and finding a new job right now would be relatively pointless... some days I'm so tired of serving over-priced wings and nearly flat beer to ungrateful restaurant patrons I could just cry. It's a tough thing. I've been working there for two and a half years, and I still feel as under-appreciated as I did when I started. I realize that's the real world, but I just can't accept that "that's just the way it is." It's the way it is because people are too afraid to take a stand and have their voice be heard... probably because I, along with my coworkers, know that if we voice our complaints we risk losing our jobs. It's a slippery slope.
Hopefully I'll hear information
