Rambling

Something that I am good at, rambling on and on. lol

I promise though I won't be doing that.

But I am going to post some random thoughts that I have been having lately.

I am excited as hell to be moving back to Florida and going back to work at Disney. But at the same time I am sad because I won't get to see my husband every day (unless its on Skype) Right now though we are used to that unfortunately due to his job. =(

I am hoping this program is as good as my first one. But at the same time I looking forward to new experiences and know that I cannot compare the two, because they are two separate things.

I am looking forward to all the new friends that I am going to be making. (and have already made, right TinkerJenn?)

And that is all for now. It's raining again. Bleh. I have laundry to do. Bigger Bleh. And I have homework that needs to be done as well. Double Bleh.

Another picture. Gotta love that I am thinking in it. Wonder what I was thinking about.

So I Know

That it has been a while since I posted anything. But not much is going on. Been concentrating on school and work. Which thankfully has kept my attention for just a bit. I guess studying to be a Paramedic has been a good thing, between my homework and my clinical hours I don't have too much time to sit and think about Mr. Mouse. So this could be a good thing or a bad thing. I haven't decided yet. But with the semester wrapping up here soon and I have a few weeks between Spring and Summer semesters I will probably go into overdrive on the thinking and the planning aspect of all this stuff. I have compiled a list of stuff that I need/want to take to Florida, eventually I will get it put up on here. But that is all for now. I am off to go grab lunch and run to pick up some scrapbooking supplies so I can start my College Program book. =)

Spring Break is Over

Sad Face =( But at least this puts me closer to Graduation and my final summer class. Then it is back to Florida.

I cannot wait to get back to Orlando. I miss it so much.

I am starting to put together my list of stuff to pack. Which I know that I am still a few months out but if I don't make a list I will probably over pack and not have enough room in my car.

I know for sure I am taking all of my Disney DVDs and probably a few others, my TV, my wii, my clothes of course, and an extra powerstrip. I will probably be buying all of my bedding and hangers before I leave Illinois. Beyond these things though I have no clue. Anybody else know of something major I am missing???

I am sure that once I actually sit down and think about it I will remember more of it.

Next week I am going to pick up my dressy clothes for classes and Traditions (if I go through it)

Well I am going to quit rambling and get off of here. I have a take home test that I NEED to get finished before I go to class tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I am leaving ya'll with a picture from my most recent shift with Lilo & Stitch.

Alice in Wonderland

Finally had time to go with my husband to see this movie.

I absolutely LOVED it. I love anything that Johnny Depp and Tim Burton do, but I loved this soooo much more.

And I loved that I was able to see it in 2D and didn't have to wait for it to come out on DVD. I can't do 3D for over 20 minutes. I can barely make it through some of the Disney attractions in 3D without getting a headache, over an hour of 3D would kill my head.

Anyways on another note, hopefully this weekend I will be able to pay my program fee to the Mouse and know my exact arrival date so I can start planning all of that fun stuff as well.

Off to enjoy my "Spring Break'' and maybe I will even get caught up on my homework.

Later

Accepted

Well I interviewed on the 25th of Feb and got my email yesterday March 5th that I have been invited back to the College Program. Yay!

Now all I have to do is pay my fee and select my arrival date.

This is major deja vu for me, except instead of doing everything in October I am doing it in March. Doing Fall this time instead of Spring.

This should be interesting this time around to see how everything is going to work since I am not sure I am going to need to go through all the training again, guess I will just have to wait (some more) and see.

But just a quick update today. Got to get up and get going, I am going to do a Polar Plunge today for the Special Olympics of Central Illinois.

Have a wonderful day everybody.
