Official Cast Member

Just had my review today. I am now officially Seasonal. No more College Program. I'm going Saturday to pick up my ID and some costumes for shifts I picked up on Sunday and Monday. My first DAK shift!!

Still don't know where I'm going to live. :-/

What Am I Going to Do Now?

So my program is over on Saturday. I have way too many points to transfer and a rep. My managers have put in a request for me to go seasonal but I have heard nothing. My review is done and I will have a meeting with my manager before Thursday. As of right now, I have no place to live after Chatham. I'm going to have to stay with someone until I fly home to Virginia on the 5th. Not sure I will do when I come back to Orlando on the 10th.

I interviewed with DVC a few months ago. I really really hope they call me back. That's a full time job with all Disney perks and benefits. Training would begin next month or February, depending on which class they put me in. My friend says he can get a house in February and I can live rent free. That would help so much. But what do I do until then?

I finally broke down and got an iPhone (writing on it right now). Been talking to lots of boys via a social app. I was making a list a few weeks ago of the boys I have fooled around with. 13 boys from coming out at 17 to this may. I added 9 to that list since May. What have I become? One boy I really enjoy hanging out with and I hope more comes of it. We shall see. Update: He now has a 21 year old boyfriend that lives in Canada. FML

My friend Jenna wants me to move to Iowa of nothing works out here. At least until May. She would move back with me. It either that or back to Fort Lauderdale with my ex or home to Virginia with my mom. I'll decide after my week in Virginia. Talk things over with my mom.

Program End...

Unfortunately, I cannot become a trainer because I was counting the number of points, not the number of notations. I am three over. I am good to go seasonal which is awesome. I also applied to be a Vacation Advisor for DVS. My friend there is trying to help me out.

It was great seeing Kaci and Glennys. I cannot wait until Kelsey arrives. :)

Food and Wine will be over for me on Saturday. I will go back to my old area. Hope things will be better than they were before.

Food and Wine

The SALSA Sale is over. That was the most relaxed Disney location ever. I didn't even have to tuck in my tshirt. Now I am doing Food and Wine. I get to wear the cool World Showcase Costume (white shorts/red flag shirt) and work around the different countries. Yesterday, I had lunch with Aladdin behind America. Also, as I was leaving for the night, En Vogue was leaving also. I held the Cast gate open for them as they wheeled their suitcases along. They spoke to me! I think I also saw Better Than Ezra's tour bus pulling in. I didn't wait around to see. I may go see them today or definitely tomorrow. It's been an interesting month.

Sad...

I am 24 years old. I have no degree, I'm always broke, and my life is nothing like I had imagined it. I am single again after three years and it almost feels as if the past three years of my life were waisted. My credit is shit and all of my accounts are negative. I don't know where my life is going and I don't know what I am doing after January 1st. I will have not job and no apartment. My life is a disaster.

EPCOT

My transfer is complete. Today will be my third day working at Epcot. So much better than All Star! I am on Test Track for the next two weeks but I'm hoping to get some Mission Space shifts in as well. I was deployed to MouseGear yesterday. That place was mad busy. The time flew by. Love it! Tonight will be my first shift past 9. I cannot wait to hear Illuminations!

Fall Program

I am super excited about the Fall Program! I have already started talking to CP's, many starting tomorrow, and I think good times are headed my way. Lot's of gay boys of course. ;)

I cannot wait for Miss Jessie N to get here!

Extension

I got my extension. I will be staying in Merchandise. The location was not listed so I do not know where I will be going. If I get All-Star again, I am going to the Program Office and seeing about a transfer. I really hope this Fall program is as awesome as last year. This summer has been extremely dull.

Currently, I am trained as an All-Star Package Runner. I get to drive the company van around Walt Disney World from 11am to 730pm. I work for all three All-Stars and Yacht and Beach Club. That's 5 resorts I answer to. I get to carry a Nextel and no really knows where I am at any time. When I don't have calls, I'll drive around mindlessly, or visit friends on their breaks, or just sit in the AC'd van and listen to music. It's pretty awesome. I don't deal with guest at all (except for the few I encounter while being onstage in resorts and the parks). It's a pretty sweet gig.

A Guy...

So I have been kind of seeing this guy. We both agreed not to make anything official (we are not boyfriends). We are just dating and having a bit of fun. I'm not ready to call anyone boyfriend just yet. It would be too weird. He's a CP and his program ends in August. He is going back to Ohio to finish up some classes, then wants to move back to Orlando.

I had a whole year to get over George emotionaly. As I said before, things had been off between us since my last program. So I don't feel that I'm rushing into anything. I'm just enjoying what was missing in my life. Me being happy is all that matters.

Now I find out that the guy is leaving on Sunday to go visit his parents (currently on vacation) in Atlanta and he does not know when he will be back. He's going to see some specialist about medical issues and may not return to Orlando if things are bad. So I have two days left with him. This really sucks! Turns out he'll be gone at least a week. :(
So here is my problem. Instead of just enjoying his company and having a good time, I kept comparing it to what I had (and of course it was far from it) and I was not happy. I put myself back into the feelings that I have had for the past year, complete confusion, and it was driving me crazy. Now that he is gone, I have a chance to step back and think about things. I really need to take some time to myself and not worry about anyone else. I need this break!


In case anyone is interested. This guy never came back. In fact, he completey cut communication with everyone here. None of know what happened to him. I know he's alive cause his profile continued to update for awhile. I eventually deleted him from everything I own. Stupid douche bag.

It's Official

I called my boyfriend while on break yesterday and asked him if we are okay. I then called him and we talked about our relationship. We both decided to stop pretending and call it was it is. Our relationship dissolved into just a friendship. We both felt relief after the decision. One less thing to stress about. We both agreed that our lives our headed in different directions and we were holding each other back. So in January, I will return to Fort Lauderdale and we will go over the moving arrangements. I will probably stay with him till April (when our lease ends) and then I will try and move to Orlando. I plan to go Seasonal at Disney and get a full time job somewhere else.

Stalkers and Crappy Paychecks

I hate All-Star! At least I have met some cool girls to hang with (I think I am the only gay person in Merch.) I know F&B has them because one is stalking me. Always calling me from different numbers (I think he ask to use random people's phone on the bus). I am afraid to answer unknown numbers because I do not want to talk to him. He is the flatmate of a friend of mine, Chester. Chester tells me that Jackson (stalker) often refers to our potential meeting as dates (I have not seen him in two weeks). If I do answer by mistake, he always says "I want to see you" and trys to meet up with me. It has not worked yet. I am always gone. Chester says that Jackson is an asshole and is probably only talking to me because he thinks he'll get sex. WRONG! I answered by mistake that other night and told him that he could stop by on his way out. I waited an hour. I assumed he wasn't coming and left. He finally showed up and left me a voicemail about how he thinks I'm avoiding him and he thinks that shitty. Guess he is finally getting the hint. lol

I got my first real paycheck a week ago. It was 200 and some dollars. That was more than I expected. I guess I got some overtime only having one day off a week. My most recent paycheck was only 140 something. Crap! After paying my insurance of 100 dollars, I was only left with 40. It is now Saturday and I have 9 dollars left and no gas. I will be taking the bus to work this week and I will be eating instant noodles everyday. :(

Feel free to donate to my cause. Text for the address. ;)

Today, I will be going to HStud/Epcot with a friend. My first Saturday off. Not that it matters. Everyone else is working.

Drunk @ House of Blues

I get home from Gay Days at Epcot and my drunk roommate wants to go to HOB. I agree and start drinking as well. I didn't have my phone on Sunday so we had to make sure that we did not get seperated. He decided to wear his Pumas after I advised against it. We take to bus there only to find out that HOB is having a private party (some Paul Mitchell hair thing) and it will cost 20 per person to enter. My roommate decides to pay for us both since he really wanted to dance.

We get inside and it is like 1980 whatever. Neon colors and spiked hair everywhere. It was amazing! My roommate insists on buying me drinks and I get fuk'd up really fast.

At some point in the night, he leaves me on the floor with some people that we had just met (I'm still waiting for that girl to text me) and we get seperated. I look all over that place for him. Finally, my drunk ass gets really sick and I head for the bathroom. After some throwing up, I walk as fast as I can out of HOB and straight to the bus stop (don't know how I got there).

There is a bus waiting and I get on. The noise and the lights fuck with me and I get sick again. I remember someone talking about someone being gay as I left the bus (don't think he was talking about me). After being sick again, I sit on a bench. I wake up (yes, I passed out on the bench) and there is another bus waiting. I was too sick to move and just sat there. I saw the bus pull away. I woke up again and a third bus is sitting there. This time, I forced myself up and over to the bus. I'm really not sure how I sat there that long and Security never came and woke me up. Anyways, the bus driver was yelling at me (said he didn't have to take me anywhere) and finally let me on the bus. I had to hold a trash bag to my face the entire time (his orders).

I woke up at Vista Way. After realizing that it was VW, I passed back out until Chatham. Some how, I got off the bus and made it to my room. I even managed to put a trash can by my bed, just in case. I never needed it.

My alarm did not go off but I someone how managed to wake up at 1030am on my own. I felt like shit and did not want to work (12pm). I stumbled to the living room and found my location call-in number. Then I went back to sleep.

When I woke up again a few hours later, I found little red dots all over my hands and arms. Something, at the bus stop (while passed out) had bit me all over. Today, almost a week later, the red dots have become bumps and they have become bright red. I look like I have chicken pox. A few of us are still debaiting as to what insect bit me. I think it was ants.

As for my roommate, I found out the next morning that he looked for me as well, then tried to find the bus stop. He failed and walked from Downtown Disney to Chatham Square. At some point, he ended up in water up to his ankles, ruining his Pumas, and he tossed them (he walked part of the way in socks).

I had a pretty crazy weekend with Gay Days. The moral of this story, don't leave your drunk, phoneless friends to fend for themselves. Also, don't wear your good shoes to a club. You never know what will happen.

The End.

Week Two...

Week two and already i am seeing relationships and strong friendships. I'm a bad boyfriend and my relationship is failing and i don't think any of my friends really care how i'm feeling. I'm always trying to make everyone happy and never talk about myself. I'm stressed out every second the day over something, keeping me on the edge and easily irritated. Ppl see me unhappy way more than happy and no one cares to ask why. I feel like i am the only person that makes an effort to see me. I'm a situational friend i guess. Only good when there is no one else. Am i a bad friend or just a bad person is general? Sometimes i just want to break down and cry but i have not done so in years. Why am i always so unhappy?

All-Star Sports Goofy

Yes. That is where I am working. I am not too happy about it either. I did not want to go back to All-Star. :( I really really wanted to work in the parks. Now I will have to check the Hub every 5 minutes so that I can pick up Extra Hours somewhere else.

I checked in on Monday. The process was streamlined and I did everything in 1 day. I did not have to go to Traditions today so I am off again. I start training tomorrow. I live in Chatham Square in a two bedroom apartment. There is only one straight guy living in our apartment and of course he is my roommate. :( I have been staying at a friend's place in Buena Vista Place (behind Magic Kingdom) and I got to see Wishes every night (minus the music). My five days in Orlando have been awesome.

I do not have the internet so I will not be on again in a while.

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

I start work on Thursday. I have already been to the parks twice and may be going tomorrow. This is my first drunk blog. ;)

Thursday, May 14, 2009

I am in Orlando. Currently at my friend Koro's house watching lady and tramp.

Monday, May 11, 2009

Leaving Tomorrow…

Going to leave before Noon and spend the day with Nora and Koro. Both of them have the day off. :-) Tomorrow evening will be an going away party for my friend Cassie. Then, on Wednesday, I will be having an All-Star outing at the parks. Cassie is hooking me up with a pass.

I turned in my uniform and bank today at work. No more Bahia Mar Beach Resort for me ever again.

One Week

That is all. Then I will be back in Orlando. I cannot wait!! I may not leave this time.

Kelsey, you keep working on your political smile. I know you will perfect it. But please, please, please do not forget your creepy one. Like I told you, that will get you your SNL skit one day. smile_wink

Perry, I love DC! That has to be my favorite city, so far. I was really close to living there, but then I found Walt Disney World. I think Washington State will be good for you. Get away for awhile and you’ll have plenty of time to collect your thoughts, think about where you really want to go in life.

Jessie, you need to do what makes you happy. You know that I would love to see you in Orlando. I have seen how happy Walt Disney World makes you. It’s magical.

Ali, congrats on getting into VCC. I really want to start classes again. Who knows, I might be joining you next fall. We are going to have a great time this summer. I cannot wait!

Yea. One week left in Fort Lauderdale. I’m ready.

The Sloss Family

After much Blogging and Twittering, I have decided that Kelsey’s awesomeness is just not enough and I need to meet the entire family. My awesomeness withdrawal is just too unbearable. I think all of you should come to Walt Disney World this summer and visit me. :D

Blogs and Twitter

Kelsey Sloss is the person who got me started with Blogging and Twittering. The funny thing is, she hardly blogs and never responds to my Twittering. I thought we had a plan?!

Most of my comments now are coming from Perry which is absolutely awesome. Who knew that the kid I gave so much shit to would fall in love with me. smile_wink Lol.

I have 6 blogs (the two above, Glennys, Monique, Jessie, and Ali)bookmarked and I check them everyday, at least twice, and they barely change. What am I suppose to do with my time? I cannot be the one writing a blog every 5 minutes. I don’t have that much to say. I’m also following my friend Ryan’s blog but honestly, the boy talks so much that I cannot keep up. Love you Ryan! kiss 

What about Twitter? Well I follow Ksloss, her sisters, and Ryansa. The Sloss family likes to Twitter about themselves (wish my family was this tight) and Ryansa rambles on about anything. Honestly, Twitter is not as fun as I thought it would be.

A True Friend...

This was posted on my friend Josh Kelly's Facebook wall this morning. I thought it was awesome and needed to be told on here.

"A true friend in need should always be a top priority. Do whatever it takes to help them through what they have going on because they will recognize what you are doing. It will make the friendship stronger and they will return the favor when you are down. Let go and confide in your true friend because they need to know that the can confide in you. Make them laugh because they need to know you know how to.

Lastly... Make it forever because everyone needs that person that the can call whenever. A rock on which to rest when you are tired. A shoulder on which to cry when you are sad. An unbendable soul when the times are tough and you don't know where to go from here. Go to your true friend and truly start the day."

What do you think?

Rough Waters Ahead

George and I have been together for 3 years and 6 months. I believe that we still love each other but things are not the way they use to be. I feel we are more like roommates than Florida Visit 016boyfriends. We hardly ever do anything together anymore and all we really talk about is who pays what this month.

The first talk of separating came during my first CP Program.  Things were tough and we had a long conversation about how I felt and how different we are now. I told him we should hang in there until I return and see how things go. Things have not gotten any better. We don’t fight, something we have never done, but our relationship seems tired, like a dead battery with no spark.

The biggest issue between us is moving. We both want to leave Fort Lauderdale. I want to move to Orlando and he wants to go to Boston. We both want to be near our friends. If we stay in Fort Lauderdale, neither of us will be happy. If we both move to one of those locations, then the other would be unhappy. So what do we do?

I feel that this coming Summer Florida Visit 011Program will end everything. I will get there and not want to leave. I will extend and find reasons to stay, other than the best friends in the world. And he will want to go to Boston and continue his Poker playing. At this point in our lives, we are holding each other back from doing what we really want to do.

I don’t think it will end badly though. If it does, we will still be great friends, just several states away. Luckily, I will have great people by my side to lean on and to keep happiness in my life. Whatever happens, it is for the better and I would not change any moment of the past three years.

21 Days…

I have 21 days left until I check into the Walt Disney World College Program for the second time. I have 16 days left until my current job (Bahia Mar Beach Resort) is done, probably for ever. The days have been going by slowly. The occupancy at work has dropped to barely 50 percent and we just stand around, surfing the internet. I need Disney and its wonderful parks to stimulate my brain again.

I have found a roommate! Mr. Matty B says that we can live together. He will go to the housing office on the 29th to let them know of our request. I cannot wait. That is the good news.

I joined a Facebook group dedicated to College Program Alumni who are doing the Summer Program (May 18th to August 15th). I found some who were willing to look me up on the Hub under contacts. My info is listed as All Star Sports Goofy. I worked at All Star Resorts as a Front Desk Agent on my last program. It was a great job but I was really hoping to get the parks this time. I felt that I missed out on the park experience my first program. They get to do special parties and ride times for park cast members. Guest don’t go to Walt Disney World to see they hotels. They want to parks!

I’m hoping that it only says All Star because that is where I was in the Fall and not my assigned location. I sent an email to a College Program Recruiter but I have not heard back. :( It’s all a waiting game.

I am just happy to get to experience it all over again. This time, Gay Days and Star Wars Weekends will be the highlights of my journey!

For That Irritating Passenger

If you’re sitting next to someone on a plane who irritates you, try doing this:

  1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
  2. Remove your laptop.
  3. Start it up.
  4. Make sure the fellow traveler who is annoying you can see the screen.
  5. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky and move your lips like you are praying.
  6. Then click here.

*I strongly advise against actually doing this, unless you would like to end up in prison.

Ruppy

Where can I buy one?!

Grandma Still Teaches Yoga at 83

This old lady is Awesome!! I hope that I am this strong when I’m 80 years old. I have never done Yoga but perhaps I should start. She has been doing it for more than 40 years and is in better shape than me. I’m 23 years old!

Who am I kidding. I am too lazy to work out. Every time I start, I quite after a week or two. I will probably be a fat old man, with high blood pressure and a bad heart, being rolled around with an oxygen tank. What a life that would be. :(

Two More Bloggers!!

My friends Ali and Jessie have joined the blogging community and started publishing. How exciting for me!

Now I have more blogs to read when I have nothing better to do. Wonder how many more I can get?

Some Random Stumble Sites

Here are some random sites I have found using StumbleUpon.

Orgasmic Calculator makes some interesting noises as it calculates your numbers.

This guy is hot! Wish I looked like this. :( This guy too.

This is an awesome hotel! Perfect for KSloss.

Pinocchio Paradox. How would the Blue Fairy handle this one?

Some Chinese lessons. lol

I love StumbleUpon and think everyone should sign up!

Celebrity...Or is He?


I just checked Jeff Mackenroth into my hotel. My co-worker saw his ID and told me who he was. I did not believe him (I cannot remember faces). But sure enough, when I typed his name in google, there he was.
For those of you who do not know, Jeff was on an earlier season of Project Runway. Unfortunately, he had to leave the show early due to medical reasons. It was sad.
Why he decided to stay at my hotel is beyond me. What made it even more strange was the fact that he booked our cheapest room through Orbitz.com. I, of course, gave him an upgrade and made sure everyone in the back offices knew he was here.
Perhaps I should get an autograph. I do have his signature on his registration card, but my manager has already claimed that. :( I could always misplace that one and have him sign another...for me.

Wizards of Waverly Place

So I just found out (from Glennys) that the cast of Wizards of Waverly Place were at one of my company’s hotels in Puerto Rico, the Condado Plaza, filming their new movie.

I wish I had known that they were there cause I might just have paid the 50 dollars a night that I get at our resorts and stalked David Henrie (he’s legal; check IMDB).

I don’t really watch the show but I have seen a few episodes. It’s an ok show. Not as bad as some of the other crap that Disney has on their channel now (Hannah Montana). I’d say Wizards and Phil of the Future (Ricky Ullman is hot and legal) are the only shows I’ll watch, if I cannot find something else on.

Anyways, the Condado Plaza is an amazing hotel (now a Conrad) and I am jealous. Disney treats their real Cast Members like gold and I am now too old to get in on that. smile_sad My only hope is that one day my child will become a Disney Channel star and I can ride his/her coattails. That would be sweet.

My Friends Perry and Glennys

So my friends Perry and Glennys started a blog today. I now am friends with four bloggers. smile_regular I like how they mentioned me in their first blog ever!  Glennys even mentioned me in her blog description! Lol.

I am glad that Perry has decided to move back to Orlando. It is where I truly belong as well but it will take me a bit longer to get moved there permanently. I’m glad to be going back for the summer. I really hope Glennys is planning on moving there as well. She is the best!

I’m going to get as many people as I can to start blogging in here. I got Ali thinking about starting one again.

Two Weeks Notice

I turned in my two weeks notice today. My last day at Bahia Mar Beach Resort will be May 13th. My first day at Walt Disney World will be May 18th. I am planning to go up early to see some of my friends that are leaving May 15th. I need to find a place to crash.

It's strange. I worked at this hotel for 3 years and in two weeks, it will be over. I may try to reapply once my time with Disney has finished. I'll probably look somewhere else. I really hate this place.

Adult Swim

Adult Swim is the best thing on television!

Right now, I am watching a skit on Hannah Montana and she has been murdered by a crazy fan. The episode is about her friends attempting to get “Miley” to her school exam (cause they want to keep her secret) and the chaos that ensued when they lost her body.

I tried to post the video in the blog but I was having some difficulties. So I put it as a hyperlink instead.

My friend Kelsey loves Hannah and I posted this for her to watch.

Enjoy!

Middle School Journal

I found my journal that I kept during middle and high school. I only read the first paragraph of the first page and felt I needed to talk about it. I want people to see how sad my life was when I was younger. I was bullied quite often. The following is right out of my journal.

“Today, in science, two kids, Chiqutia and Chris, allowed me to help with their Super Cell and they used some of my ideas. Me and Chris sometimes don’t get along to well and this was the first time we did something together without arguing…Me and Logan P. I think are becoming great friends. He never insults me much any more”.

Much any more? I was picked on so much that I thought this was ok. Him picking on me less meant he was becoming my friend. How tragic.

There are lots of interesting things in this journal. The most interesting, and most detailed, is was my time with my first boyfriend. It hurts me even now to think that I let him treat me the way that he did.

The entries jump around. There are large gaps between dates and some computer typed/printed pages that were folded and slipped in. I was so different then. I have definitely grown up and matured. Unfortunately, I am not as close to anyone in the journals as I was then. I still talk to most of them, online, when I see them.

Never take your friends for granted and make sure they know you still care for them. I wish I had.

This is my first mobile post. Just wanted to see how it works. :)

Windows Live Writer (For Monique)

Before I even started writing this blog, I downloaded Windows Live Writer and it’s the best thing ever! It makes publishing blogs so easy.

All of my past blogs are listed by post order in the side pane. Below them are my “Insert” options (Hyperlink, Pictures, Videos, etc). What makes it easy? For instance, when I click on Hyperlink, it asks for the website and then right underneath, there is a box for typing what you want the link to be called in your post (ex. Windows Live Writer as I typed above). It even has an option for downloading more plugins such as Polaroid Picture

and Windows Live Messenger Smilies smile_wink. It’s pretty amazing. It also has a Font editor so you can change colors and fonts right from the writing screen.

The best part is, I don’t have to be signed into my blog to post. I just open Windows Live Writer and it will publish to my blog automagically (a Disney word). I have tested it. It posts within seconds of hitting the “Publish” button. There’s even an option to view your blog before you post it. It shows it in the Live Writer window just as it would look on your blog page.

It’s not just for Blogger.com either. It gives you several different Blog options when you set up your account. I only have one blog but you can have multiple blogs linked to Live Writer account and switch between them with a drop down screen.

I recommend this to all bloggers, especially beginners like Monique and myself. It’s FREE and easy to download.

Follower Widget

So there is this widget that you can add to your profile that allows readers to subscribe to (follow) your blog.

I am currently following two awesome bloggers (Ksloss and Monique) and at this point in time, only Ksloss is following me. I know Monique will follow once she logs on again. It’s a great way to keep track of bloggers that you discover online and for other bloggers to keep track of your posts.

I encourage everyone to download this widget if you have not done so already.

Twitter

I still not really sure of the point of Twitter. It’s like Facebook without all the other stuff. Kelsey uses it all the time so I figured I’d give it a shot. What have I got to loose? I wonder if Monique has Twitter?

Alice in Wonderland

This song is hypnotic! Watch Alice in Wonderland on Youtube. I discovered it using the StumbleUpon button. Actually, I have found quite a few interesting things using this service. It’s fantastic! It helps pass the time when you have nothing better to do.

Fort Lauderdale Beach

Tell me why a live a block west of the beach but I never go? I can see the Intracoastal Waterway (with its massive yachts) from my balcony and lots of beach goers parking their cars in the city parking lot. On my back from eating, I decided to drive the beach road home. OMG! Hotness everywhere and instead of coming home, changing into swimming trunks, and walking to the beach, I am sitting at my computer, blogging about it. What is wrong with me?!

My favorite time to go to the beach is right before dusk. There are less people and I can fly my trick kite without hitting one in the face. It’s usually much cooler by then.

I think the problem is that I drive everyday. I have not really driven my car in weeks. I walk to work (like 10 minutes away) and back. I just take it all for granted and need to go out there more. Perhaps if some people I know would visit me, I’d be more inclined.

My First Blog (Thanks KSloss)

Thank you Kelsey for turning me on to the world of blogging. I am not really sure what to say.

I’m super excited about my second Disney College Program that will be starting May 18th. My last program ended in January and I just could not stay away any longer. I will be working Merchandise this time instead of Resorts, which I am ok with. Kelsey seemed to enjoy herself. I really hope that I am in a park this time. I feel that I missed out on something special during my last program. I will being giving my two weeks notice on May 1st. For the first program (FAll 2008), I got a Leave of Absence from my employer from August to January. That was a great thing because I got to keep my insurance. Now, for this program, I will have none. I hope I don’t get sick again. Last program I did and had to take some antibiotics. :(

Am I talking too much? I feel like I am turning this into an online journal. Tell me how this works Kelsey? Help me understand.
