ONE

In exactly one month I will be driving down to Florida with my mom, dad (hopefully), Uncle Don, Lilah and Chase.

I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Its crazy.

I had a dream last night about checking in to the DCP and them not giving me any of the stuff they are supposed to give me. I had no clue where I was working or what time any of my meetings were. hah. Good thing I kind of know whats going on this time around. Check-in will hopefully be a breeze!

I just hope and pray Christine and I get normal roommates....eek.

Right now I am in the process of trying to go through all my stuff. Its really time consuming and annoying because I have had to move out of my apartment so now I have all this stuff that I cant use in disney but probably will use at some point in my life. ugh

more later...

It takes 2 to tango....

wow. In exactly 2 months I will be starting my second Disney college program.

Its crazy to me that its not that far away!

This program is already so different from the last. I really haven't talked to that many people who are doing this program. Its definitely not going to be the same, but I know it will still be fun.

Its just another new phase of life, that once again I will have to grow accustomed to. What an adventure!

4 days...

In 4 days I will have my life back. only 4. 4 whole days. I can do this. can't I?

4...

There are 4 parks at Disney World.

I have lived in 4 different towns in the past year.

I have 4 pages done on my section of the paper...only 11 more to go.

4...

ah.

Social life? hah.

as soon as Maymester no longer consumes my life, I will update update update and it will be DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY!! woo!

see ya REAL soon!

Thought of the day!

If I were in Disney celebrating Cinco de Mayo,

I would be at EPCOT visiting the Mexico pavilion.
ohhh how I miss this & that tan....

Random

Hmmm...

I really cannot wait to get back to Disney and start in on the Disney diet and work on my tan.

:)

Blah Blah Blah

sooo I guess I suck at updating this thing....

I turned 23. ah. Luckily I have been able to celebrate my birthday in the mountains, Disney World, Athens, and Milly. so I guess its been an okay birthday.

Next weekend I am going camping with MFB and BAJ so its not over yet! :)

I graduate in 15 days! oh my gosh!!! I will be completely done FOREVER on May 28th!!!!! AHHHH!!! I can hardly stand it!

Nothing new with Disney yet, just class, work, class, work, dog, class, work, dog, sleep with a little family and friends sprinkled in every now and then.

Anyways Ill update when I have more exciting things to update on.

My list of things that I didn't get to do on my first program that I would like to accomplish this time around :)

1) Universal Studios...I know blasphemy, but I would like to go once!

2) ICE

3) Fireworks Cruise...but maybe I will be working on the Fireworks cruises....*fingers crossed*

4) Holy Land Experience

5) Eat in the France, Italy, & Japan Pavilions at EPCOT

6) Go to more housing events if I can...at least to get the food. haha

7) Keep up with my blog more. Luckily this time I won't be taking any classes, so hopefully that will be easier.

8) Go to the beach more than once. Seems strange to say it, but I only went once in the entire 5 months I was there.

9) Go to see a shuttle launch. I watched one from my porch, but I want to be up close!

10)Ride TOT at least 1000 times...Its totally going to happen

11) Sea World

12) Busch Gardens

13) Visit Celebration

14) Volunteer with Give Kids the World

15) Go to the water parks more. Went to Typhoon once. Blizzard once. Completely unacceptable.

16) Attend more concerts/shows at HOB.

17) Two words. Pasta parties. That is all.

18) Stop at the sunglass shop on Vineland Ave. where the people are always waving and smiling.

19) Parasailing

20) Horseback Riding

21) Putt Putt at Winter Summerland

There will be more added to this list as I think of things. :)

Its all coming together...kind of?

Soooo Midterms are over. Thank God! Now all I need is for my dad to miraculously stand up tomorrow and be waiting at home for me. :( One day it will happen...one day.

I have decided to live in CP housing because it is like a 10 page document you have to fill out to even be considered to live in another apartment. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me. I would also have to pay the $100 assessment fee or whatever its called and not get to go to any housing events, so I just decided to suck it up and live in CP housing. Delilah will have to live at Meemaw's house until I can get a routine and figure out where I'll move after the program. I feel horrible leaving her and I feel horrible asking my mom to take care of her, but I don't know what else to do and I know its whats best for her. I just hope she doesn't forget who I am. :/

On another note, I do have a roommate for CP housing. She was a camp counselor with me and she is graduating from UGA. I am really excited about the fun we will have sharing a room! It will be like camp all over again. haha :) I hope we have some equally cool apartment mates, but I don't know if anyone is going to compare to my roommates from the first program....Megan and I sure were blessed with some awesome girls.

Hopefully AMANDA will be back down in Florida....SHE BETTER BE!

Maria will be there and I plan on hanging out with her during every breathing moment. Yes, that is right Maria, you will want to call me boo boo. :)

My next blog will be a list of things that I would like to do during this next CP that I didn't get to do on my last CP, so GET EXCITED!!!

This isnt letting put the pictures where I want so I give up. I tried to have a picture with Maria, but its not cooperating. LAME

TODAY TODAY TODAY!!!

SOOOO today I got an email that read...

Dear Kari,

Congratulations! You have been selected to participate as a Recreation Cast Member on the Disney College Program in the Fall 2010 Season.

We look forward to the magic you will bring to the Walt Disney World® Resort and are thrilled about the opportunity we have to include you in our Disney family!

Sincerely,
Disney College Recruiting

AHHHH!!! This was my number one choice!! I am beyond excited!!! I cannot wait to see where this journey is going to take me! I could hardly breathe as I read the email and I re-read it like 6 times to make sure I had read it correctly! I am soooo thrilled to be working in a completely different area of Walt Disney World!!!! Now I have to decide whether or not to live in CP housing or to find a different place...I have a dog now so shes a big factor in that decision. Anyways I can worry about all that later! I am just ecstatic at the moment.

Yes I know I slacked on the blog, but I will try to be better! More updates coming soon! :)

Peace, Love, and Mickey Mouse :)

Tomorrow shall be a day of updates...

dear blog,

I have not forgotten you. Life got in the way. I am in desperate need of you. See you soon.

love,
me :)
