New year, new things to worry about, new changes




I'M SO SORRY TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN CHECKING MY BLOG!!!

Disney decided that I was a human robot, in stead of a human being and made me work crazy hours from Halloween till New Years. Now that I'm back at school I have a little time between classes, and I have my weekends back!!! HURRAH!

Ok so in short, Disney World was amazing. I met wonderful people, friends for life that followed me to school, and made memories that will last a lifetime. UNFORTUNATELY due to the nature of the work I did with the Mouse, I can't explain all the fun in detail. Don't want to ruin the magic ;)
Let's jump right to my big move back to the Berg!!! January 1st ran as follows:
Work from 11:30-12:00
Steak n Shake with the crew ( friends including Brad, Emily, Katelin, and Jenna)
Home at an unreasonable, unmentionable hour
Bed
January 2nd was our last hurrah in Magic Kingdom ( MK to all us College program kids) Watched the parade, did our favorites ( Space, Big Thunder, Pirates, Haunted Mansion...)
Kate had a delicious looking Mickey premium ice cream bar, and Em and myself had Corn Dog Nuggets with nacho cheese sauce at Casey's for the last time :( and then we meandered our way up Main Street, and said our goodbyes to Cinderella's Castle one last time on our last ride on the monorail.
When we got home that night, we were a panicked mess. We cleaned the house top to bottom for check outs, and the we finished packing. Now by packing we mean this....




So now you see why I wasn't in the biggest hurry to update my blog.
Now things get interesting...
So this is how the 3rd ran:
Outta the apartment by 8 (After cleaning it till about 3)
Got picked up by a nice big van to transport us, and 6 massive suitcases to the airport ( Kate, em and I all got a flight around the same time on the same airline). We got through security, and waited.. and waited.. and waited...
Then we all go on our flights ( me and em, and then kate took a slightly earlier one) and we headed home.
Em and I got to Salt Lake at around 9 ish and went straight to bed. Then we woke up the next morning, packed up the car and drove up to Rexburg. We moved in just fine, and classes started the next day.
To sum up January... a blur... that's all. I seriously don't know how I've coped. When I signed up for the college program in march, I thought "Yeah, I'll get through til Christmas and go straight to school. No biggie"
Guess what... Big biggie... I probably spent the first week crying cause I was so stressed. But then The Wilson's, bless their hearts, surprised my parents and me with a quickie trip up to Idaho, for the long weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present than to able able to see my mom and dad after 5 long months. It was truly a blessing, and I am so grateful that things worked out so well.
After they left I felt rejuvenated and pumped. And the last couple weeks have been lost in blur of Homework, a couple trips to Utah, and reading.
Now this is the end of my Doings with Disney. No more parks, no more magic, no more characters, no more parades, no more costumes, no more mickey bars, no more 50% discounts, no more weekends spent trying to figure out which park to go to, and no more magic. On to the grown up ways of life, and it's time to place the pixie dust on the top shelf... so long Neverland ;)
