the best ever

http://www.youtube.com/user/caramossable?feature=mhee#p/u

one more month.

I really have mixed feelings about there only being one more month left.
Honestly I think more of it is sad feelings...I think. Weird huh? Because most of this blog has been about how much I want to go home. But I will really really really miss being completely independent and learning new things. I enjoy being alone and figuring things out alone and dealing with stuff alone and solving my own problems and speaking up....the list could go on and on, this has been an awesome time of figuring out myself? That is way cheesy yet true.

BUT more importantly my very new best friend, Lindsey. We are seriously way too much alike...it is really creepy. we get along so well. It is funny because Jordan & Adam have been my very best friends for a long time, yet we are quite opposite but it works out in a love/hate relationship way. My relationship with Jordan is defiantly one of a kind and I LOVE IT! and Adam, its just hard to explain, you just have to watch us and then you will be like "oh yea they belong together" But anyways, I am going to miss Lindsey a lot...I don't want to have to think about saying goodbye to her.

So I am sad for all of those things.
and I will miss Mike. Oh Mike. He cracks me up. sometimes he does the moon walk and the other day a guest asked him to do a JUMPING PICTURE!!!!! He tried so very hard to jump, it wasn't the highest jump in the world but he did get both feet off the ground. Sully and Mike like to chat about Channing Tatum, there are some interesting conversations that go on during a Monsters Inc. work day.

I will also miss being one of Santa's Elfs. It is seriously the best thing ever. I get to dance with small children all day and have as much energy as a legit elf....I am a legit elf what am I even talking about. I  got offered a job actually....I said no, I HAVE TO GRADUATE! I had a secret "I really want to do this, but I am too afraid" so I didn't. But I know myself quite well and I know if I didn't go back to school this upcoming semester then I probably would never go back.

I tend to write these really fast because I get so excited about writing stuff. So my grammer and vocabulary probably doesn't make any sense, but I could care less. It is my blog and this is how I do things. BAM!

Happy thoughts about there only being a month left.
I get to see my cat elbee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get to see my long lost traveler (adam)
I get to see my old almost graduate bff (ashley jo)
I get to see my meredith girls and live in a happy clean apartment in a big girl bed!!
I get to see my grandma, who loves adam more than me.


But I really do not want to do the whole school stuff. blah.

My family came uh last week for Thanksgiving! It was so much fun, and I got to see some other dance friends! I got my family and some friends in the Animal Kingdom Parade, it was too funny.
I don't know if my last blog mentioned that I finally got a new roommate, she is pretty chill. Her name is Tiera and she works complete opposite of me, so we literally never see each other. She is clean and nice, so I approve.

I actually just finished making the kitchen look beautiful. The oven is taking 4 hours to clean itself. It is really hot in here but we have an inspection on Monday so therefore it has to be clean.

What else. Uh Christmas shopping is failing. miserably. I am a terrible decider because I don't want to give that lame gift. ya know?!

my eyeballs hurt from staring at this screen.

til lata gatas,

peace yo

love,

Justin Bieber came to Disney. Unfortunately they told us we were not allowed to go into the park. Screw you Disney. this is my friends picture. ugh.

The boys next door kitchen. I had to take a picture. haha ours has looked this bad. gross eh?

Cara is a blonde elf.

failed beach trip with drew and linds.

fam!

on the Animal Kingdom Float.

my love, Linds.

the life of a one eyed monster

adam and i failed at updating our blogs. so we are being winners and updating them! (and also because chloe told me to)

I don't even remember the last time I wrote on this thingy. Eh it is okay, I think I can make it work.

MIKE WAZOWSKI runs my life. I love him. Especially when I work with Sully, we have a blast and usually end up doing something stupid. For instance, they have decided that since the guests have to wait in a line (you are at Disney YOU ARE GOING TO BE WAITING IN LINES THE WHOLE TIME PEOPLE) anyways, they  decided that the guests need to be entertained and have beach balls to play with. this is my perspective of this situation. If you are in line to see Mike & Sully, that means you have just gotten off a ride. Our line is NEVER more than 10 minutes long, and you can watch us visit each guest and act all silly and i mean hey i think that is entertaining enough. BUT NOOOO. so this is what happens::::: every single kid wants to throw the balls at Mike and Sully so we can kick it back to them, but that interrupts our "meet & greet" with the family we are seeing at that very moment. Which makes parents angry because we are not giving their kids our 100% attention.  Also,kids think Mikes eye is a target. Mike can't see the ground either, so he trips on the balls. So don't have the balls, the guests can wait. I understand if you have a toddler who can't stand still but 98.7% of the time they are scared of us anyways and are going to scream the moment they get up there to meet us. 

THE END of the beach balls.

lets see what else. June is another one of my favorites. She is from the Little Einsteins. I have never watched the show, but June is adorable. She is a four year old ballerina, very girly and thinks she is a princess. My favorite thing about being great friends with June is that fact that I get to act like a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is awesome because the rest of my life at Disney I am a boy and I have to flirt with girls, kiss girls, hold hands with girls, hug girls...etc. But for June I get to (this sounds creepy) "flirt" with little boys. OKAY PEOPLE don't think i'm a freak, i know four year olds don't flirt geez. I am just really "mean" (okay i'm not mean, it is hard to explain, but i do it right because my attendants/the parents think its funny) to little boys and  them blow them kisses and run away. YOU SHOULD SEE THEIR FACES. they get so red. it's awesome.

hm what else. elephants live upstairs. no i'm serious. they are so loud, they are actually walking around right now with bricks on their feet.

I took a group of my friends to Bojangles. They loved it.

Ever since my roommate left, they have told me I am getting one! They even made a sign that says, "this bed is for you" UH NO WAY!??!!?!?! there are only two beds in the room. one is mine. the other one is naked.
But yesssss no roommate yet. yay!

I am still crazy about cleaning. I cleaned the dishes every night this week because I couldn't stand it. I really need to not be crazy about things being clean. I'm getting on my own nerves. But I mean seriously people, clean up after yourself. i have to wash other peoples dishes to get to the sink to wash my own dishes...thats how bad it gets. haha

my life was completed this past uh friday. I was supposed to be great friends with a dwarf. and SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE geez. I know I know laugh all you want, adam already cracks up about the fact that I can be a dwarf. I'm really not the shortest here. there are serious dwarfs. but anyways, i was supposed to do that. but ended up BEING ONE OF SANTAS ELFS!!!!!!! 

okay picture this.

ME aka cara.

doing whatever kind of dances moves i want, to danceable music, with a ton of children, getting to act like a child, and being in charge. 

AND i got to get up on stage and lead the chacha slide and all those types of things.

talk about a dream come true.

the DJ even said he was going to request to have me work there as much as possible because he said he had never seen an individual with so much energy and smiling. 

my manager/captain pulled me aside and said i was wearing the kids out and asked if i was okay. i was like COME ON PEOPLE IM AN ELF, i'm pumped up on candy. DUHHHH

it was awesome.

good news, when my mom and siblings/dance people, friends all them people come, I GOT OFF!!! the 23-26. so excited. 

54 days until I am back at Meredith/see my very best friend Ashley Jordan who I miss so much.

47 more days until I get to see my sweet sweet sweet boyfriend

8 more days until I see my fam&friends!

It has gone by so fast this last month.

I have been having a blast with Linds. She is from NY. She talks funny but I love it.

The boys next door tend to bang on my wall every time they walk by and it scares the living poo out of me.

They also tend to put the extra mattress in my shower. 

Scares me.

I think I am going to go find some cats today, they are apparently at Mickeys Retreat. 

I miss my little kitty Elbee, a lot.

a week of stories:

1. i went to the beach with linds, tiff, and two zachks. (ha I joined their names together) we had been feeding the seagulls goldfish.(HA notice both of those words have TWO words in their names...) i finally decided to lay back on my towel and enjoy myself. and plop. a seagull pooped ON MY MOUTH. not on my face, ON MY MOUTH. it was so warm, so white, so fresh. some even got on my shoulder. i dumped a bottle of water all over my face while linds couldn't breathe she was laughing so hard. so nasty.

2. we go play ultimate frisbee a southeastern flordia? i think thats the name of it. anyways, linds and i were sitting down on the wall thing and all the sudden we both realized our feet were itching/burning. we got eaten up by fire ants. no joke. they were almost in our pants.

3. i blocked a frisbee with my throat and got the wind knocked out of me.

4. i credit carded linds at the same time she tooted. my hand almost fell off from grossness. 

5. Mike tooted so loud one time that a guest heard it.

i gotta go eat some grub.

til then,

i can't wait to see everyone!

and no worries, i am finally having a blast here!

love,

c

i forgot about one of the most important things!
adam and i had our four year anniversary!
i shipped him a glass bottle of cheerwine and he got me flowers

even thought we both said we were not giving each other something.

we are too cute

i love him

the longest video in the world.

first of all, i can't believe i sound so country. its terrible. i hate it. i don't know why i sound so ridiculous.

second of all, i keep looking to the right because people outside were being distracting :)

the week of uncertainties.

Monday smunday: what did I do what did I do?
I was friends with POOH!
and we had some dew!
okay enough of that silly goose. So monday was going quite swell I guess you could say. Just a normal day blah blah blah. Until I got home.
You see, I asked off a total of 6 days. 3 for when my mother and siblings come down and 3 for adam,martha, and justin when they come in January. Did I get any of those dates approved!? no.
-as a college program student you can't get a "personal day" or a "vacation" or a "requested day off" pretty much you have to be dead sick. aka DUMB.
So that was frustrating. Also, we don't get paid extra at all for working holidays. Even Christmas we don't get paid extra. Why? because we are part of the college program. So we have an outrageous rent, get minimum wage, get crappy shifts nobody wants, can't ask off a day, don't get paid extra on really important holidays, and we are supposed to be in the "happiest place in the world"
also, after asking a bazillion questions to different people about the christmas parade, they already set the cast.
thanks for nothing.

That was Monday.
TUESDAY! WAS A WONDERFUL DAY! I was very good friends with Mike Wazowski! He is my favorite EVER even before this, I have always adored Monsters Inc and Mike. He is just too cute. Here is my workspace/mike/him falling. ps. this was a long time ago...aka not me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWzbKNfGSY8

thehehe pretty funny eh!?
hopefully that will not happen.
I like him because
1. i can breathe
2. he is fun
3. i like his character
4. i can breathe
5. i get to work with sully, who is HUGE
6. coworkers are fun (minus the creeper)

so i love mike. :)

Wednesday was the same deal. aka I was in love.

Thursday.... today was um interesting.
I have never been friends with TIMON, but I was quite excited.
He is small and easy.
except I had a problem....i kinda ran out of sports bra. sorry if that is TMI, you should skip to the next paragraph if you want. sooooo when i went on set...um, timon kinda became a girl. whoopsie. I got pulled off set after about 10 minutes with a manager freaking out/laughing. I did look ridiculous. Timon with boobs. It was awesome.

SO moral of this story is to either: a. get more sports bras or b. do laundry more

So then I sat around for a while as they tried to find something for me to do.
I finally went to Camp Minnie/Mickey and met my new friend King Louie. His arms are wayyyyyyyy long. I can't really tell you how it works, but it was fun/different.
I only had 3 sets, they had icecream for us and I didn't have to autograph.
perfect day.
:)
then I got home around 3, cleaned because we have inspections tomorrow, and talked to my teacher from school.
Then Kaitlin and I went to Magic Kingdom to stalk down a manager to sign these dang papers. So he did and was quite nice about it!
Then we went a played for a while, of course it rained, but we ate good food and I had cotton candy...again.

I feel sorry for all my meredith girls because they had a test today that apparently can be compared to those dang anatomy tests. AKA i am dreading dance history already.

this weekend i plan on sleeping a lot.

but the moral of these stories are: that sometimes what you expect isn't what you wanted. but sometimes what you wanted is too much.

it makes sense to me. what i'm going through right now.
I wanted to go home on Monday, I wanted to quit, I was tired of missing family and friends.
But this is good for me. I enjoy making people happy...a lot. and I'm good at it I am not going to lie. So as long as other people are getting what they want, I am good..

Today I finally got used to being away from people.
I am happy about it.
Sometimes you have to get away and do your own thing.

and I am defiantly doing my own thing.

BOOM!

winnie da pooh!

the things you didn't know...

So while I was working today I started thinking about all the things that "others" would never know.

here we go:

-if someone says "SMILE!", I stick my tongue out
-if someone says "SAY CHEESE!", I think about pizza and my roommate
-if i were to toot in my work attire and you were to hug me it would smell terrible and be worse than a dutch oven and STAY in there for a long time.
-if you are annoying i give you the death stare
-if you purposely hurt me i will ignore you
-if you speak NO ENGLISH, i roll my eyes because i don't know what the heck you want me to do.
-i sweat as much sweat as that cup of water you have in your hand
-i sometimes says "awe" at cute kids
-i accidentally talk sometimes if you ask me questions, but you will never hear because it's almost impossible.
-i do not enjoy CRAZY BRAZILIANS at all.
-if you have just gotten married or engaged, expect me to freak out whether or not i'm a girl or boy.
-babies are my weakness
-if you are pregnant, i really do not want to kiss your stomach
-i don't understand why some kids don't know what a "hi five" is?
-NO I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE HOLDING YOUR NEWBORN BABY
- i can only answer yes or no questions...asking me what my name is is NOT a yes or no question. and why are you getting a picture with me if you don't even know who i am?
-you should know that i work my butt off to make you smile and laugh


:)


that's so funny

that's whats up

This week hasn’t been that bad surprisingly.                                                        

Lets start with  how much I didn’t get ANYTHING accomplished last weekend when I had off. That was fun.
 It’s official, I cannot sleep in anymore….I guess my body is getting used to getting up way too early for any human being to be up. The life of a semi-grown-up. Ew

Monday: I was wonderful friends with Pooh again. I’m starting to get used to him, he isn’t very hyper or anything so that is easy, just opposite of me. He is quite the fur ball, so he gets very very very very hot. Monday went okay, OH YEAH, this was the day that this girl decided to be a COMPLETE bully to me. Now listen, I usually don’t put up with people who do this, but I was legitly scared of her. She sat beside me and started pinching my arm *note* she didn’t know my name and I didn’t even know hers. I had never seen this girl before* anyways, then she started making fun of seriously EVERYTHING about me that she could. I just ignored her, that was fun.

I also told a manager how terrible my first few days were, she was very apologetic. Which was refreshing. She took notes on my performance and said the only thing she said I needed to work on was my first reaction when I see each new guest. Which knowing Pooh, he wouldn’t go attack a person or get all hyper, he is a calm bear. So I  just kinda ignored what she said, because I want to stay in character as much as possible and just made my hug seem bigger. Which didn’t do much because that just scares the little bitty babies.

Tuesday I was another spare. So I sat in a break room for 9 hours. Ran some errands for people. Saw a lot of the princes, why may I ask are they so PERFECT!? The princesses as well. I’m serious. Well…there faces are perfect. Some of them are a little bit chub chub chubby. That makes me smile. Oh. That was mean. J

Wednesday! Wednesday was a pretty good AOKAY day. I made new friends, Garrett and uh Austin. Austin is actually a girl, weird eh? They helped me tremendously. I was good friend with Pooh again at Animal Kingdom at the boat dock. AKA 30 minutes sets outside with a ton of fur on you. We get ice pack vests…which only help if someone hugs you real tight, which also is painful. There were not a lot of people at all, so I got to play around and  take longer with guests. Which was funnnn. I got a TON of little toodlers to  come to me, and play, they usually start to bawl, but they didn’t!

I did almost get trampled down a hill. On the way to the boat dock, we have to walk this little trail that go slightly down hill. Pooh cannot see behind him, all he can see is the ground…literally. Well a probably eh high schooler girl came SPRINTING down the trail cause she just got so excited. Well Pooh almost fell over and may  have peed in his pants a little. I mean I’m just saying it scared the you know what outta him.

THURSDAY! Spare day. Okay so I came ALL prepared, I got a library account and everything at the Disney place, got two DVDs, brought my computer, brought my charger, brought two jackets, I mean the whole kitchen sink.

Guess what? I ended up actually working.
TYPICAL CARA. TYPICAL.

Well it was my first dining experience. And guess who I was good friends with once again? Good ole Pooh. They showed me the ropes of which tables to go to, how to count them, to go REAL FAST, and don’t pretend to eat the food. LAMEO. Mmmmmm.

First set, ya know Im ready, its going by pretty quick, I started sweating really bad, like the sweat in your eyes bad. Then I was like dang I’ve been out here for a long time. This is a long twenty minutes. I had made it pretty much around the whole restaurant. Which was pretty big.

It was a 50 minute set. Hahahhahaha I was SOAKED in sweat.
An older lady that was friend with Eyore passed out today in costume. That was scary. 

Tomorrow is Friday which is actually MY FRIDAY! Aka your days off are the next two days.

Overall, this week has been better. Our apartment mates have once again trashed our whole apartment. We have inspections soon and if we get charged for their messes, I might go catch all their stuff on fire. Just kidding. But really….

It has been a month since I left home, which is really sad. I miss everyone a lot. I miss dancing everyday with my Meredith girls.

But I do love my roommate Kaitlin. She is a ball of fun. We are lazy together and like pizza and ranch too much.

I am loving me some Mumford and Sons. I listen to their Pandora station every bus ride, to and from work. They make things better.

This creeper guy thinks we are friends. He likes boys. But he thinks we are BFF’s. He doesn’t even know my name.   I think I am making this situation really awkward.

Oh well

And I miss my Elbee kitty
and apparently my NIECE kitty is now my NEPHEW KITTY!

J

                  

this would be TERK, she is a GIRL. :) oh ps.those are my friends. and I am on the uh right :P

 Cats and loving,

C

the week of the last

that title doesn't make that much sense, but who caresss.

Lets talk about last week: I was good friends with White Rabbit a lot. I also got to ride the train and be part of the opening of Magic Kingdom for two days...that was interesting because I had no idea what was going on and BAM there were all the hundreds of people waiting to get into the park. Scary? very much

I also got lost backstage. I was supposed to be going to a meeting with all the other college program students at 4:15 and I got off work at 4:15. So I was rushed and lost and ended up being 15 minutes late to the meeting. You know when you are in a big crowded room and that one person shows up late and everyone gets quiet and stares as that person makes their way across the front of the room and you are like "dang that would be so embarrassing"

yeah. that was me. i was that girl. Pretty sure I did pee a little and turned REAL red.
thats life though
:D

I had my first Make A Wish Family while I was playing around with Terk (by the way terk is a GIRL not a boy and from the movie Tarzan) and I spent a little extra time with them, they were so sweet and I was messing with the little boys, playing around and having fun.
I also got this little British girl who said the funniest things:
"excuse me big hairy animal, but what are you?"
"why are you not talking?"
"my mom said you cannot talk"
"how do I know if you are a boy or girl"
"what is your name"
"oh yeah, you can't talk"

She was a cute little thing
I also got some award or something from my attendant. she said I made her job a lot easier by doing my job correctly. Which meant a lot because the people at Animal Kingdom are the people that told me to not do my job 100%.

Friday I didn't have to work until noon, but got up so I could see Terry, Annette, Alexis, and Sarah from CAMP MERRIWOOD. Yes they were my first visitors, got them a discount and rode some rides before I went to work. Sarah was hilarious riding rides.
Work on Friday was interesting as well.

I was a Spare which pretty much meant if someone called in sick, didn't show, or they died or something I would take their spot if I was their size.
from 12-7 I sat in a break room and watched Disney Channel, slept, and did two random tasks for the office people.

Today, thehe today was fun. I woke up and had two funfetti cookes for breakfast, with icing of course. Reserved Samanthas and Mrs.Stewarts hotel for when they come visit. and then went to get my hair cut, well I decided to just go crazy and get a perm. It was the most painful experience. I didn't give a tip either because she charged me $30 to trim my bangs up a little. It was an experience though. I can't wash my hair until Tuesday. It is epic.

Kaitlin and I might go to Night of Joy tonight, which is at Magic Kingdom, its a lot of Christian artists and it will be epic. I'm talking Toby-Mac, MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Skillet, Newsboys, etc

My hair really smells funny.
oh and our apartment is leaking, they had to tear up the carpet.
and they cut down trees in front of our windows.
and Kaitlin is fun.

ps. GO NCSU!


until later,
c

bojangles & cheerwine

I really wanted bojangles and cheerwine today. So what did I do? Took Kaitlin and got some bojangles and cheerwine. Probably the best dinner I've had since I've been here.

The actual bojangles we went to.

The dude that served us.

 wonderful cheerwine

 Kaitlin and her first cheerwine

 cause I had more bo-rounds

 Kaitlins pretty ring

 so.full.

 :D

dancing in September

okay so no dancing yet. The plan is as of right now if I don't end up dancing that much I will just take some classes at a nearby dance studio. Monday nights I am taking a Open Adult Gym Class...aka get my flexibility, strength and tumbling back. Why you may ask? The best shape I have ever been in was when I was teaching/taking gymnastics. It helps with dance classes (especially modern) a LOT...like all those arm muscles and abs and all of that fun stuff. Tumbling still scares me but I like being able to do it randomly.

Sunday was a fun day. Animal kingdom all day, well, after sleeping in of course.

Monday was uh um uh um let's see here. Oh yeah, I was introduced to white rabbit. That was an interesting day. But fun :)
Got to talk to Adam which of course made everything better.
Then fell asleep at 8. :) epicness.

Today I'm friends with Pooh again. It's going quite swell so far. I've seen the cutest babies today.
I'm trying to think if anything interesting has happened.
I made rice. I'm so proud of myself. Eating it for
Lunch in about 30 minutes. Yay!!!

For the most part everything is going better.
Adam Is safe and having fun.
My roommate is still awesome.
I still love rollarcoasters.
And I don't want to go back to school. Ew.
Okay well the fun part of school just not the educational part.

I will put pictures up later.

Weh,

C

Today

Isn't going to be about me. My lovely Adam is leaving today for his study abroad thingy. Am I freaking out? Um totally. Am I freaking out excited for him? Most defiantly :)

When we see each other again I think it will be about 150? Days. That is a lot when you have been dating for four years. Anyways I just really want him to arrive safely and have an amazing hike and not die on it. Cause I kinda need him in my life ya know?!

Haha this is so cheesy. But this is MY blog and he is a part of my life. Which my blog is about my life. I win.

Had a fun skype with his family last night. Miss them as wellllllll


Anyways so if my blogs ever mention Adam just let me vent on how much I miss him. Cause i already do and it's easier to let it all out rather than keep it all bundled up.
I'm doing this on a bus on my phone so I can't really make sure everything is spelled and makes sense.

That shall be
All for now

I love you ahdum :)

Love,
C

the first "legit" day and then some

This isn't going to be a very happy post to those of you that are used to me being positive and happy.
Today was a really bad first day unfortunately...
During training we were told that our first month or so as we were getting into the hang of things that people would help us out a lot.
Today was nothing like that.
I wandered for about 30 minutes after getting off the bus because I had no idea where I was. I was expecting a sign or something or to follow people....the people I was planning on following went opposite ways. So I had to choose who to follow. Typical Cara, I followed the wrong people and had to go the other way. After finally figuring out what building I was to go to I was there an hour early. I wandered around the building trying to figure out what to do. I hid in the bathroom because I was scared (can't believe I just wrote that on here) went into the costuming room to waste some time and finally found the place where I was supposed to check in. They were actually really nice, told me where I was to go at what times and all that stuff.

Once into the costuming room everything was a disaster. I had never been the character I was today, I had never seen the costume, didn't know which shoes because there are a billion and everyone was talking crap about the CP (which are the college program students, which is ME) While staring at the costume making sure I had every piece this older gayish man decided to ask me what I was doing....I was really embarrassed and tried explaining to him that it was my first day I didn't really know what I was doing. He just kinda walked away. ..once into the green room I guess you would call it, the lady in charge was REAL RUDE. I stayed in a room alone all day and nobody talked to me. This is how the first two days went.

BUT updating!!! Today aka my third day into the "legit" world was much much better. I got to know Pooh a little bit better. He is quite opposite of me though. He loves hugs, being patient, eating honey, and not hurting small annoying children who seem to think it is funny punch Pooh's stomach. aka complete opposite of me. ANYWAYS, Hollywood Studios people are amaaaazingggggg and I loved it there. I worked 10 hours today :) and 9 tomorrow(friday) yeahhhh BUDDY

I do apologize for the first few paragraphs being so negative. Actually I don't...it is part of life sometimes but I moved on and now things are better. But I do want to remember about it just to know everything isn't always going to run perfect.

Here are a few pictures for my parentals & grandma :D

This is our living room, you may ask why Kaitlin is standing with the door open....I may or may not have kinda caught a frozen pizza slightly on fire and maybe there was smoke everywhere. Not saying any of that was true.....

This is the outside of our apartment. Our bedroom window is the one on the left :) and see that little lammp next to the red uhh whatever that thing says? Yeah that shines in my eyes every night. hahahaha its great, I love it.

The lovely pool at my apartment

Kaitlin and I went to visit Lindsey at the Yacht & Beach Club Resort...beautiful

I know it is really small, but our bathroom/room :)

oh...and from the previous post...coming home from a long day at work I really just wanted to sit at the table and eat. So I took care of it and shoved all of "hoarders" crap in the corner...and her stuff from the living room as well. 

go team go!

that is all for now mates

love,

c

Some visuals::::

The first picture is our dining room...the place where we are supposed to eat. Well, because it is constantly covered in junk Kaitlin and I eat in our floor in our room.

The second picture is my training group...yay!

and so now it all begins...

DONE with training!
It was official today at exactly 5:23! We actually had to take an assessment test with about 45 questions, I passed... DUH!
This week consisted of working 8:30-6ish Tuesday-Friday
But it was really 5-7. why you may ask? Well in order to save money I ride the bus. The bus is SLOW and I am a worry-wart so I would end up getting to work about an hour early because sometimes the bus is full, or slow, or it gets stuck in traffic. Therefore I would get up around 5...taking the bus home takes about an hour because it stops about 4 times. I got picked up at Epot with all the other CP (college program peeps) and since Epcot has different countries there are people from different countries working there. That bus STINKS like armpit but it is really really interesting to listen to people talk and watch them. I would watch people all day if I could, it is so interesting sometimes.

ANYWAYS. What did I learn this week?
That being a Character Performer is about 10 times harder than I thought. I can't go into much detail but I can explain my sweat. :) the sweat was everywhere, I mean places you thought you would never sweat. My hair would look I just got out of the shower and during the set ( when we are in the park) I would end up with sweat dripping in my mouth, eyes, and ears. I'm talking NASTYYYYY.
I was friends with Chip from Chip & Dale the first three days and today I was friends with Max, Goofys son today. Chip & Dale are a lively bunch with a lot of energy, they have quite the imagination and like to make people laugh. Max has the biggest feet and booty EVER, he has a very hard time balancing himself because of that.
In about two weeks I am going to audition for the parades or something. Apparently the best way to get a good dancing part is to go to the dance workshops Disney Entertainment provides because the people who teach those classes are also the people who decide on parade people. So I will be doing that, no worries. It might take a while because I won't be able to make it to every workshop or even the auditions because i work A  LOT. Even if I was already a Face Character or parade person I would have had to do this training anyways....yes.

It was fun this week because after getting off work we would go to one of the parks for the evening and ride a couple of rides and chill out. It was really really nice because I don't know if anybody knows but I am OBSESSED with rollarcoasters. :D

I have tomorrow, Sunday and Monday off and then I work the rest of the week. One day I work 11 hours :O. getting that money.
OH and tomorrow I am going to one of the waterparks because we get in FO FREE!


It has been a good good week, stressful and I worried a lot, but good.
I do miss home and my crazy family and my girlsssss, and of course that boy. Which by the way he leaves next Saturdayyyy for the other side of the world!! excitingggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How it all began...

I am FINALLY going to do this!

How it all came together:
* Filled out an application
* Had a phone interview
* Had an audition in Atlanta
* Waited until forever
* Became a Character Performer
* Found a roommate
* Checked in August 17th
* Moved in August 17th
* Traditions ( which is pretty much the basics about Disney)
* and on Sunday the 19th I get to go to training for my part at Disney!

I am pretty excited/nervous. My roommate is pretty cool I must say, she is from TEXAS but the sad part is that I have more of an accent than her. It rains a lot here but that is okay. Tomorrow aka Saturday we (Kaitlin, Tiffany, Lindsey and myself) * note: Tiffany and Lindsey are some girls we met during check-in that we were hoping to get an apartment with, but unfortunately they are not over 21 so that didn't get to happen* are going to go to the parks cause we get in FO FREE!!!!

dat is all for now.
Disney is pretty, lots of rules, but pretty and my type of atmosphere.

:] peace children,
