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
