DISNEY!!!

So here we are, and I'm in Orlando.

There's really not that much to say. I mean I can go on and on about how cool my roommates are, and how badass the apartments are. But, most of you know this, so why explain.

Check in was a joke. Everything about it was so easy and painless. I thought it would be hell, but we got through so fast, it seemed like an array of paper work.

I am working at the Wilderness Lodge doing recreation, which apparently is boat rental or working the arcades. I'm totally fine with both, because I grew up around boats and I'm a gamer nerd.

The only thing wrong is that I'm scared like crazy. I don't know if its because of the new job or new town. I thought I would be ok, because, let's be honest, I'm not exactly known for staying in one place for a long time.

I'm just scared because of how Disney is, one mistake and peace.

No we have traditions tomorrow, and 4 hours of shit in full business attire will be hell, but fun at the same time.

I could go on and on, but I'm drinking beer with the roomies. So, have a good night everyone, and hit me up if you wanna hang.

Here We Go

Wow, really, I leave this saturday. Thats like 4 frikin days....

I don't know where the time has gone, and I don't know if the excitement of months of anticipation or the anxiety of moving again is larger.

But, this week will be fun. This week is a mix of getting ready and hanging out with every friend I have in Southeast Texas.

You know, the more I think about Disney, the more nervous I get. I know everyone is nervous about starting a new job, but not everyone has to navigate 40 square-miles to find their place of work. And, not everyone shows up to work with a mouse, dog, or a duck.

I know I am going to enjoy myself, but this is my 7th time to move, and every move is surrounded with anxiety.

Oh well, I know I can pull through, but I'm worried about being away from my Young Adult group at church for so long. Adam Braswell, David Gonzalez, and myself have been involved in church together since around 7th grade. That is about 9-10 years, and I don't know where the time has passed.

But, I digress. I feel the need to blog right now because of the anticipation I have for Disney, but also the anxiety. And it isn't bad anxiety, there is anxiety that can be used to help you. I just have a nervous feeling about meeting all the people I have met on FB.

So here we are, another crossroads in my life, in which change involves packing up and driving more than 8 hours. I feel like I'm almost going back to Lubbock, which I have no problem with. I just know I'll have a blast, and I'll meet some amazing people.

Yea, I know this is pushing my graduation back, when I should be graduated as of last weekend, but I'm not. I didn't settle for the 4 year plan, and Disney fell into my lap. It's an adventure I'm not passing up, because I live with no regrets.

So, if you read this, lemme know what you are nervous about.

But, needless to say, it is time I stop writing, and continue packing.

46 Days

So here we are with 46 days to go.

It is starting to seem as though Disney is the only thing on my mind nowadays. It's consuming my life, and hopefully not taking my GPA with it.

But I have been getting into nervous fits while laying in bed lately. I dropped a class late in the semester and received a Q in said class. Now, I will have a 3.5 this semester (first A I've seen since before Tech).

I just don't want this bad decision of class scheduling last semester to effect my WDWCP. I know I'm in good standing with the University, so when I get nervous fits I just calm myself down. It's no big deal I know but I like to worry over the small thing.

But yes 46 days. I can't believe I'm going to Disney World in 6 weeks. Time is going kinda slow, but fast at the same time. I'm using these 46 days to see my family as much as I can, because I have live away from home before, but not being able to see them for 8 months is a big deal. Though my mom's boyfriend has never been to Disney World, so around November they are probably coming to visit me and the park.

Oh and in other news, I got this thing in the mail. Idk if y'all know what it is: its about 8 or so inches wide, folds, brings excitement, and does nothing but put a smile on peoples' faces. So comment below on what you think I got in the mail. It's pretty rad I must say.

I'm so procrastinating right now, as I don't wanna finish my HW or get ready for school.

Oh, I'll be posting new pics of me very soon. I've six weeks until Orlando but I'm going to go ahead and get the Disney Look. I'm going to be so sad to cut my hair and shave my face. My hair is really long right now so it's for the best since I am teaching a kindergarten class (I don't wanna look like a bum).

Well it seems as though I have been rambling about the most random crap, so I am going to get ready for school. Thanks for reading, and take care. Oh and add my on FB if you haven't: Slate Schwertner.

49 Days

So here we are.

I was accepted to the program about 4 days ago (days are starting to blur together since I was accepted).

So far through Facebook, I have met so many wonderful people that will be there when I get there on May 22nd, before check in.

What is really funny is the entire process of my application. First off, I was doing it because I'm not really ready to graduate so I figured this would postpone graduation. Second, I just thought it would be some blow off internship I didn't give a rat's ass about. But, as time progressed from my application date, up to my phone interview, I became more and more excited about the possibility of going to Disney for up to 8 months. So I still kept my cool, because it wasn't guaranteed that I got it yet.

So, I just finished my phone interview and I'm so excited because I nailed it. I mean I have had some nice interviews, but this one was spot on. But, I still couldn't guarantee that I would have a spot at Disney.

March 29th, I went and saw Hot Tub Time Machine with my friends, and we went to the late feature. I got home around 11:45 and did the rounds on Facebook, and went to check my email. I opened Gmail, and my subjects weren't showing so all I saw was the WDWCP email. I was freaking out becuase I could have been denied, but alas I WAS ACCEPTED. I probably sounded like a 3 yr old jumping and screaming like I was.

So now back to today. I have met so many great people through all the Facebook groups and discussions. Hell, I met Nebraska, who might be one of the most amazing girls ever. I've met my roommate, people I'm meeting with the night before check in, and even people I'll get to meet in August. The fact of the matter is, I haven't even started the CP and I'm already having a blast. It's going to be the most amazing thing and I can't wait for it.

So as the title says, I have 49 days until I leave for Orlando, 51 days until I start working for Disney, and 70 days until I get to meet Nebraska. This truly is going to be the time of my life, and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
