6 months to the day...

6 MONTHS today!!!!

I can't really believe I still have so much time to wait...

I just have a little anecdote to share....just today, after my craptacular day at work (long story....looooong day!), a fellow Disney go-er e-mailed me to ask me if I'd like to switch departure dates with her. So at this point, I'm pretty excited, hoping that I could knock a few months off of my waiting time. So I ask her when her leaving date is, and she tells me that her contract starts...get this...NEXT WEEK!!! So, I'm not going to lie...I thought about it for a second and a half...but then realized that there is no way I could do that...first of all, I promised my employers that I'd be around until the last week of november, and while I think that they would probably understand in the long run (very easy going people that I work for!!!)...I think I would feel terribly for a very long time to leave them high and dry like that! Secondly, I would never have enough time to get all my stuff together (i.e insurance, packing etc etc) and thirdly, and MOST importantly I could never leave my life just like that...I have already given my friends a buffer zone of me leaving in 6 months, and my dad as well...and my dog! I COULDN'T DO IT!!!! so thats that I guess....

I am SOOOOOO excited to be going...but I really have no idea how I am going to last for 6 months...it seems SOOOOOO SOOOOOO SOOOOO far away! I've already been going stir crazy and its only been a month....any fellow disney alum that can shed any light on how to cope with the waiting, please share!! other than that...I am terribly excited that a month is behind me...and I have some fun stuff coming up to look forward to

1) convocation is next week...very exciting in itself (4 hard years of work!!) and me and my dad are going to spend the day in Niagara falls...after I walk the stage and get my diploma, we are off to the casino and niagara on the lake for dinner! it should be quite fun! (speaking of which...I have 4 days off next week...how that happened I have no idea, but I am going to milk it for all it is worth!!)

2) lots of fun summer stuff coming up...doogies (LOL!), the pool, some summer reading, road trips, concerts etc etc...

3) I've come to the conclusion that since I am actually earning

some money (i.e. haven't really worked since last summer!)...that I should do something fun in between now and december...so me and one of my sisters good friends have decided to go to Australia to visit my sissie! WOOOOO...nothing is for sure yet...but I've been researching...a week in sydney and a week (few days) in the sunshine coast....could be a blast!!

4) also...not terribly fun, but I have to prepare myself for school following disney (MA in arts administration in New Zealand!) which is going to be alot of work in itself...but I have received my acceptance pack, and am looking forward (dreading?) to planning for loan applications, housing, Visa's, emailing back and forth...maybe a few expensive phone calls etc

So in closing....6 months to go...lots of fun stuff/not so fun stuff to do in between! and I am still QUITE excited!!! WOOOOOOO
