Hey guys!
I'm in Floridaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm all settled in and today is my day off from my hectic life down here. I've been down here for three days now. I flew down from Ohio Tuesday, stayed at the hotel that wasn't too far from where I needed to check in at Disney. That night I met up with some guys from my college I knew and hung out with them for dinner and then we went back to the hotel and like hung with some other guys that were fellow Disney CPers. It was cool cause apparently one of the guys I had already added to my friends list on Facebook from the main Facebook group for the CPers. After that, the guys from my college kinda ditched me to get some girls' numbers, but I just kinda stayed talking to the guys in the hotel lobby. THEY HAD An APPLEBEES INSIDE THE HOTEL! How awesome is thaaaaaaaaat! So me and these two guys, Scott (fb guy) and Micheal hung out at Applebees and just kinda got to know each other since we were gonna be kinda working together but not really. Since we were all in college program, we just kinda got to know each other.
Yesterday, I walked across the street and went to Chikaflie, and had some breakfast. I ended up spilling my HiC all over myself and all over my luggage. I was so upset. From there, I headed over to the check-in. I got there about 8am. Saw Scot and Micheal again and hung out and talked with them in line with their roommate and stuff. I got my housing at Chathammmm! Yayyyy! The girl had told me that my roommates were already here and had been here for awhile, but since it was so loud, I didn't really understand her I guess.... but I just said sure and I got my match up. Then we were put on a bus, and headed to Disneyworld to go to the casting building to do all of the background checks and finger printing, and all other things that everything else didn't cover. The place was gooooooorgous. Anyways, that whole process took FOR-EV-VER. Seriously. I thought I was gonna die. I hadn't eaten all day. We got back to the place we originally were, and they put us on buses to all the other housing places. I got to my building at about noon or almost to 1. Since they didn't have any elevators, I had to drag y suitcases up the stairs, but luckily I'm just on the second floor so it's alllll good. And I met two of my roommates! they were actually about to leave to go to Disney when I showed up, but since I haven't got my work pass yet, I couldn't go with them. :C Ah well, I stayed and unpacked. I have 3 roommates and I am in a 2 bedroom apartment. It's real fun cause they are super cool. Emma and Courtney were here and my other roommate Kim was already at Disneyworld so I didn't see her till about 9 last night. When I was sitting on the couch falling asleep watching Oliver and company.
After Emma and Court left, I had about an hour- hour and a half to kill before I needed to leave for the Mandatory Welcoming Session. I was freaking out cause I thought we were supposed to be getting picked up by the charter buses again, but I was wrong, lol So I was texting Micheal freaking out because I was gonna be late and they said not to be late because it'll push everything back. but I saw the walmart bus was going to The Commons (where were were supposed to be going and where all the international students stayed) and I hopped on that one. Luckily, we don't need bus fare so it's all like \o/! And we got dropped off right in front of the place I needed to be at so that was all kinds of awesome. And I actually happened to be placed right next to Micheal again when we were in the place. xD Funny how things work out. He was all like, Oh wow, hey, how'd you get here so fast?
From there, I took the bus to Walmart and got all of my bedding and sheets and things. I spent like $122 on just that stuff and other things. And I still was gonna go back today for some groceries, but my roommates have like the fridge super full already, lol. Ah well. But since I don't have a car, I kinda have to just bus it everywhere, so I can't bring a whole lot of stuff home with me at once.
Came home about 7 and put everything up and kinda sat on the couch for awhile before they all came home around 9 and brought one of their friends from Patterson over. She's an Aussie and she's so short, so she was wearing these sparkly heals that made her like 3 inches taller. Then we went to get their other friends in Chatham and they all came with us. So there was like 9 of us all together. 8 girls and 1 guy, lol. We all went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Normally, it's just like a restaurant with a bar that specializes in wings, but here it's that and a club. And since it was Wednesday, it was CP night. So a LOT of the Cpers went. And it was the first time I've ever been in a club type situation and it was fun.... up till there was so many people in there that people were all up on me. :| So we left about midnight from there and came back home. Emma and Kim were drunk off their asses and it was the greatest thing I've ever seen. Me and Court were just sitting here laughing our asses off because they were so out of it and talking about nothing, it was great. I think I ended up crashing about.... 2? When I had gotten up at 5 that day and only ate once. xD
Now, I'm sitting here next to Court while Emma is still sleeping and Kim is off at work. I'm glad to have internet again, but I dunno how often I will be on. But I am relaxing for now until I actually get up and get ready to go somewhere.
But I wanted to let you all know what I've been doing the last few days and how I have been doing. So you all don't worry about me. C: And it's just a great way to log my experiences and things while I'm down here so you know how this program is and all the benefits are, and if you are thinking about going go the program yourself.
Have fun you all and I miss you terribly. <3
