Nothing New

I haven't written anything in quite awhile now but that is because there hasn't been anything new going on in awhile.  In fact, if you read other blogs written by CPers in the past, this time period is always a little lean on blog posts.  That's because the application process and the waiting period are over.  And yes, I am currently waiting to move down to Florida, but it's not as nerve-wracking as waiting to hear whether I got into the program or not.

I've already bought most of what I'll need to bring down to Florida with me and now I just need to plan how I'm getting down there.

My mom and I are going to drive down, us in her van and my car towed behind us.  See that's the thing.  Even though Disney provides shuttles to and from all the work locations and some local things like Walmart and grocery shopping, I have come to be spoiled when it comes to the freedom of having my own car.  I want to be able to go out whenever the mood strikes me and not have to wait for a bus or something.  So, because my car probably wouldn 't make it all the way down to Florida on its own and surrive the whole 7 months I'll be down there, I will need to tow it.

There is a chance that I'll be inheriting my Dad's current car in November or early December, but that's only if they can afford buying him a new car.  Otherwise it's my 2001 Kia Sephia that I'll be taking down with me.  I know that I could probably get away with not taking a car with me but I really would prefer to have my own form of transportation.

On other news, getting home from Florida is becoming quite the hassle.  The thing is, my parents go on this 2-week camping trip every year with the SCA.  For those of you who are not familiar with the SCA, it is a medieval re-enactment group that is country-wide (and some other countries too).  Anyways, this year, or next August, my program end-date falls within the middle weekend of their trip.  If my sister is still in Florida next summer (she is in FullSail U. for grad school) then I can stay with her until their trip is done, but chances are, she won't still be there. 

The best option right now is for my Dad to fly from PA (where Pennsic is) to Florida, drive with me back to CT and then fly back to PA for the rest of Pennsic.  How complicated, right?

Oh well. 

I've also been helping my mom plan a Disney vacation that she and my Gramma will be taking in May while I'm in the program.  They want to visit me and my sister and spend some time in Disney while I can get them discounts and free park passes.  I love being able to share all of my Disney knowledge with her.  She bought a Birnbaum guide book to Disney and every so often she'll look up from the book and say what's this? or what does this mean?  And I can usually answer.  The only problem is that we can't plan everything until after I check into the program and stuff.  Until then, it's mostly basic planning, like where they want to stay (she's thinking Pop Century) and what parks they want to go to.

I think that's it for now.
