Getting close.....

I can't believe that we are down past the 40 day mark. That just means we are getting closer. :) There are about 5 weeks until I arrive for check in. Yay.

Guess that means I better get to packing! I have started to pack some stuff but its mostly stuff that will be getting moved in January when my husband joins me in Florida on a full time basis. Some of my stuff is little bit harder to pack right now because I really don't have the room to store it at this present time. I need to get my lazy butt up and go through some boxes in the garage and dump stuff out of them and that may free up some room for me to pack more stuff.

On a more random note Disney has gone to requiring us to have renters insurance. Which in all honestly I was planning on getting anyways. Thankfully mine will not be to expensive and it will cover me in Florida and my husband while he is on the road with his job. So it's killing 2 birds with 1 stone. And it takes the worry off of my mind of what do I do if something happens to my stuff. I understand that people are upset about this coming up at the last minute but whining about it isn't going to make it go away. I'd rather pay my little bit of money a month every month than something happen and I have to find a way to replace my laptop, my clothes, my digital camera, my pictures and all of my stuff out of my own pocket. Between my laptop and my camera that's close to $1500.

But I am now going to step off my soap box before people push me off of it. =)

And I am also going to get back to my attempts at packing.

Start of the Busy

Started in on my clinicals today. Had to be at the hospital at 630am. Ugh. Too damn early. But I better get used to it. All of my Ambulance time is going to start at 630 or 730am. I got 2 of my skills done today, I have to do another day in surgery to get the other 3 and then I am cleared of Surgery time.

Next week I get to hang out in ICU for two days and then spend two days on the back of a bambulance. And Wednesday I get to go get a new Social Security card since I was stupid and accidentally laminated it. I didn't realize that you couldn't laminate it. And I need one for Disney, I have yet to figure out why, it's not like anything has changed since 2 years ago when my name changed and Disney got a copy of the card then. Who knows.

Speaking of Disney. My roommate and I have picked out what our bathroom is going to look like. Mickey Mouse. Obvious right? lol But I am excited because that means we are getting closer to moving. =)

My clinicals are going to keep me busy for the next few weeks so I won't be able to focus on waiting. Thankfully. It is just going to make packing to move a little bit harder. Oh well. I am over it. At least I already have a list to help me pack so as I start to pack I can start crossing things off the list.

But on that note, one thing to cross of my list tonight. Laundry. Or at least attempting to work on it. Have a good one folks.

Sword in the Stone. Stays in the stone
One of these days I will get this damn sword out of the stone.

Beginning of Summer

Well summer school has officially started. So now I get to bust my butt to get my clinicals done in time to finish before I move to Florida. I start this Wednesday at the CRACK of dawn (630am) with my surgical rotation. Hopefully I do better than when I spent time in there in nursing school. I attempted to pass out because I got really really warm. So here's to hoping. Here's also to hoping that I get all of my skills done that I need done. Then I just need to get my ICU and bambulance time and I will be good to go.

At the same time I am going to start getting stuff ready to go for Florida. So I hafta go through stuff and pack for Florida, pack for us moving to Florida in Dec/Jan so Chris won't have to mess with it, and then get rid of stuff that I don't need. So I am going to have a busy couple of weeks coming up.

Oh man, my summer is going to be busy. Oh well. That way I cannot focus on the waiting part of the game.

I know this one is a short one. But I am falling asleep sitting here. G'night folks.

just testing a video post

Eventually I will be vlogging but I figured now would be the time to learn how to post videos.

Wish I was at Star Wars Weekends this year.

Insert witty title here.....

So I was sitting here trying to figure out what to blog about and nothing was popping up. Then I got to thinking I have to back to school on Monday. How exciting right?

Nope, not so much. I have a test waiting for me. Yay for being in Paramedic school and having the same book since day 1. That means that we can have a test at any point. Which means one greeting me at the beginning of the summer. Plus I get to start doing all of my ride time. And will pretty much be living on the back of an ambulance. Definitely good practice if I do end up finding a medic job in Florida that isn't with Disney.

Plus I have a PE class this summer. I just needed a single credit hour class to round out my schedule for the summer. So I went with PE. The way I look at it is that it will help me in the long run with my training for my 5K this fall and the half marathon next Feb.

Only 87ish more days until I am checking in at Vista Way with my roommate. (Which I am very excited that we are matched in the computer system so that is one less stress on my mind leading up to the program)

I have started looking around at the stuff that I need for the apartment, like sheets and what not. I will be ordering all of that prolly mid-July to make sure it gets here in time.

And then the beginning of August will be when it is time to start packing and get everything ready to move. And then it will be time to pack up the car, pick up my little brother and head to Florida. I cannot friggin wait.

And now that I have been rambling I am going to log off. lol I will leave you with yet another picture.

Well.....

The Fall Advantage kids started checking in today. Which means that I am getting closer to checking in also. It also reminded me about the stuff that I need to get done before I move. (like fill out my on-boarding paperwork. which makes no sense to me since I have been with the company for going on 5 years. and I hafta get a new social security card. ugh)

I just looked at my countdown and it says 101 days. Which really amuses me because if an attraction goes 101 at the world it is not a good thing. In fact it causes the guests to get upset. 101 is the code for a ride being down. So once I get past the 101 days I will be good. lol That also means that I am getting closer to 99 days which means the Double Digits and that puts me even closer to the single digits which by proxy puts me closer to being there. Yep I am a nerd. Oh well.

On to cooler news. This past weekend I graduated and got to go to Chicago with my best friend and husband. It was an awesome feeling to know that I could finally walk across that stage and get my cool as hell EMPTY diploma holder. I will get my diploma 60-90 days after I finish my graduation requirements. So sometime this fall since I have a summer class that I need to finish up. =) Chicago was awesome. There are pics on my facebook. Go look if ya want.

But on that note it is time for this girl to get some sleep. I have stuff that needs to get done tomorrow since it is my last free day for a few days.

After the interview
Ready for my work weekend with the mouse. Getting a much deserved drink after my interview for the college program.

Getting Closer

Well I turned in my last final yesterday. Got a B in my class. So 4 Paramedic semesters down just my summer one to go. =) Yay!

I will be leaving here in a few to go up to Bloomington to pick up one of my bestest friends Courtney. She's coming to visit because I graduate tomorrow. And then we are going to spend Saturday and Sunday up in Chicago! I am sooooooooooo excited for that because she has never been to Chicago and I have only been once and that's been like 8ish years ago.

Bought my first NEW thing for the college program. It's one of those weekly To Do lists that can hang on the fridge but it is PERFECT to keep track of schedules on. How clever am I? lol A dork I know.

Nothing else to exciting is going on. Jenn graduates this weekend to. yay! But again other than that nothing to awful exciting.

But I need to go finish my laundry for the weekend. Talk to ya'll soon. (109 days, getting closer to the double digits.)

Have you heard the best kept Disney secret?
