I admit it, I have fallen into the ranks of the lame blogger. I haven't written in what, a month or so. I'm sorry. The reason for my not writing has a lot to do with the fact that there's not much going on right now. At least Disney-wise.
I've been busy with school and work lately, including a big group project/presentation for my Interpersonal Communication class.
As for Disney news, I've finalized my plans for getting down there. January 13th will be my last day at AMC, then, on January 14th, my mom and I will drive to Jersey to visit with some friends of hers. On January 16th, Sunday morning, we'll start the first leg of the drive to Florida. We'll be staying the night in a motel probably in South Carolina or something. The next morning we'll get up and drive the rest of the way to Florida.
That night we'll stay at my sister's apartment in Winter Park. The next day is shopping and then bright and frickin' early on the 19th my mom will drop me off at Vista Way for Check-In. Check-in, technically, starts at 9 am but they let people into the gates starting at 8 am but I want to get there for at least 7 am so that I can, hopefully, get my first choice in apartment.
I'm really hoping for a 1 bedroom in Patterson Court but of course I'll settle for a 2 bedroom in either Patterson or Chatham Square. I do not, however, want to get Vista at all. I value peace and quiet.
I check in on the Facebook group page from time to time to see what's going on. The two most popular Wall Posts seem to be "Looking for a roommate on (fill in the blank)" and "I'm so excited!"
For me, once I knew that I got in to the program and had most of my plans made, my level of excitement dropped a little. Okay, it dropped a lot. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get down there, but I'm not jumping up and down, having trouble concentrating kind of excited anymore. Of course, every so often now I get a thrill and my brain goes "OH MY GOD! I'M GOING TO DISNEY!" But for me, mostly, I was concerned with budgeting money while in Florida and saving money before going to Florida.
I've got it all figured out now. And I should be able to save plenty of money while down there too. Which is good because I need to be able to get home somehow and I'm gonna need to mpay for school when I get home as well. My parents will probably help out a little but I prefer to pay for things myself.
Speaking (or writing) of money, I have come to the conclusion, and maybe I've written this before, that I will not be able to afford to bring my car down with me. Or I could afford it but nothing else and I wouldn't be able to save any money. So i will be relying on the shuttles to get me to and from work/the parks and public trnasportation for going to the stores or my sister's apartment.
I think this week will be a good week to pull out all the totes that I have for Disney and go through them all. At least if I can get my room organized enough I will. Not to mention I have to get to packing up all of the stuff in my room because there's a chance that I'll be coming back to CT to a new house or to a house in the process of moving.
In other news, I had to go to my local mall to pick up Assassin's Creed 3 for my sister's xmas gift and I stopped in at the Disney store (the only one left in CT :D) and they now carry Vinylmation figurines. They look so cute. Much better in real life than they do online. I can't wait to visit D-Street to see all of them.
Until next time, have a magical night.
