Hey! I'm blogging again and it's been less than a week! Haha, I've had a little bit more free time on my hands these past few days...
In the past few days, I've fried pickles with Ashton, worked a lot of the closing shifts at the arcade, somehow managed to clean my room (yet dirty it up again), done a little shopping, slept in more times than I needed to, had a really fun date night, left early from work because my eyes were killing me, took Ashton to the hospital, spent the majority of the night in the hospital with the roomies & Ashton, layed out at the pool (my tan is getting ridiculous), & spent the majority of my paycheck on gas for my car. Awesome. I'm living the life :)
This is my last week at the arcade! My Blizzard Beach orientation is Wednesday & my last day at the arcade is this Friday. Bring on the sun!
Working tonight - woohoo.
Later, gators.

Florida is legit... minus the traffic
So I've got 10 weeks left of my College Program. I'm not okay with this. It's going to be so hard to leave.
In the past couple weeks, I have had an incredible time. I've worked a lot (yet not as much as I could have worked), hung out with my awesome roommates, met some really interesting people at work, worked with some fun cast members, & truly enjoyed everyday.
Magical Moment Report: I've had small Magical Moments on a daily basis, but the one that stands out the most happened yesterday at work - This precious little boy walked up to the arcade counter & just stood & stared at me. I leaned down, saying "Hello, handsome! How are you today?" He, then, blushed, & began talking to me about his day. Even though he wasn't talking very much, he kept nodding & smiling, staying interested in our conversation. I noticed he was wearing Silly Bands (something that I have gone from loathing to loving) & I asked him what kind they were. He looked down at his wrist, looked back up at me, & said in the cutest little voice, "Disneyyyy." I told him how cool they were, & he looked back down at his wrist and took off the red Silly Band. He handed it to me & said "I'd like you to have this." I immediately got really excited, saying "thank you" repeatedly. I looked down at the bracelet after it re-gained it's shape &.... it was a Mickey Mouse Silly Band. I literally started tearing up, making the little boy think I was probably half insane. It made my entire day & was yet another reminder of why I am here. I love it here; I really do. The experience isn't over just yet, but it will be one I'll never forget.
This place is truly magical. On a daily basis, I witness just how this place impacts people - both guests & Cast Members alike. The happiness & joy is infectious, & I'm soaking in every bit of it.

March already?!?
I can't believe March is already here! I know February is a short month, but time seems like it has flown by.
I had a blast hanging out with my cousins - it was so fun to have family here and to act as Tour Guide for a week :) Today, I'll work at 5, but I've got some major grocery shopping to do. And tomorrow, I'm off work AND it's pay day! (EPCOT really stands for Every Paycheck Comes on Thursday) Teeheehee.
Work has been a lot of fun lately, working with really awesome Cast Members and meeting really cool people from all of the world. Everyday is an opportunity for a new adventure - just make the most of it. And that's what I'm doing. In just a few weeks, I'm moving to a job that's filled with sunshine on a daily basis. Yessss.
See? When I blog more often, I can avoid long and grueling posts that drone on and on about how fabulous my life is in Florida ;)
Miss y'all!
Oh, and I still have this on my car... I'm torn as to whether or not I should take it off because clearly, I made it to Disney World. But, it's kind of a part of my car now. And it's very easily spotted in a parking lot (as if the bright red paint wasn't already enough). Maybe I'll just leave the Mickey on there and erase the words... we'll see!
