One step closer!!

My flight has been booked!!!

(Huge thank you goes out to Mom for getting my ticket for me as my graduation present)

I will be flying out at 6:15 am CST and landing in Orlando at 9:35 am EST on June 6! From there I will be taking a taxi to my next destination: DISNEY!!!

I haven't flown since 8th grade, and definitely can't remember if it was enjoyable. But this time I will be alone, fending for myself. Definitely have no idea where to go. So that in itself will be an adventure and probably hilarious. Also factor in that it will be probably 5 am and I am not a morning person. Maybe I will make a fun friend along the way. Fingers crossed for a hottie-tottie! =)

15- Days I have left until my flight!

5- Days until I go home!

Today in Springfield it is 81, feels like 84, cloudy and windy. Tonight chance for scattered strong storms. Tornado Watch also in effect all day.

At Disney World, it is 91 and sunny, with a very high pollen count. Tonight partly cloudy into tomorrow. Apparently a very high need to water plants. (Weather.com says so--what do I know?)


Figured out what day I am going back to the Chuck for some good ol fashioned home time. It will probably be better than what I did all last week--which was nothing all day, stay out late, recover next day, repeat. As far as plans for being at home go--I figure pool every day after they open, work out, clean my sister's room (since I know it will be a mess when I get there), and try to catch up with some people before I head out. This also means at least one day will be spent at Grandma's or she will probably cry.

In the mean time, I am going to enjoy my last few days here. This weekend was so much fun, so hopefully it keeps going thru the week. Got some packing to be done but basically 5 nights ahead of me that good times will be had by all. For now, I am going to enjoy the rest of the Cards-Royals game and hope that my Redbirds hold onto their lead.

Until next time!

The Countdown Begins

22 days!

Welcome to my new blog and first post!

Prepare to follow along as I get ready to move to Florida for the next six months. What am I doing, you ask? I am going to be interning at Walt Disney World as a Character Attendant-- fingers crossed for Minnie Mouse at least once! (Always been my favorite, got called Minnie when I was little) Not really sure what to expect yet, but I know I am super excited to get down there. A lot to do before I get there though.

Buy a suitcase. I will be flying to get there, and in order to haul all of my crap, I should probably get a suitcase big enough that I could potentially smuggle one my short friends, if I didn't have to bring clothes. How I will fit 6 months worth of stuff, plus towels and linens, is beyond me.  Suitcase search begins. Maybe I can find one that is "glitter" for the color. Should be easy to spot when it comes off the luggage tram.

Camera. Dropped my last one and broke it into pieces. Figured if I was going to be somewhere awesome for 6 months and writing about it, I should probably bring some pictures so in case you don't like what I'm writing, you can at least have something fun to look at. Look forward to probably way too many pictures of the castle, characters, me making the man-bear-pig face (explain later), and probably some beach pictures once I get some time to go there.

Honestly, the next weeks will probably seem like they will take forever to get here. I just want to fly down right now and start the next part of my life. I am pretty excited to get a fresh start. I know a couple people in the program, but there will be so many people that don't know me.  So long, silly happenings in college. Hello, nice new pool of gentlemen in the sunshine state. :)
