Light the lamp, not the rat, light the lamp, not the rat! Put me out, put me out, put me out!

Merry Christmas Eve!!!
Christmas Eve today and nothing too exciting happening today. The parents have been cooking all morning, my sister is out shopping, and well I've been chasing around the dog, or uhh having the dog chase me around. Later on tonight we will have a nice dinner, and just hang around, drink and be merry! Tomorrow is the big busy day, but I love it! And of course the Disney Christmas Parade is on, so that makes the day all that much better. We split Christmas up between my Mom's family and my Dad's family, that way we get to see everyone. Its nice to talk, laugh and just catch up with everyone.

On to DCP news!!!
My dashboard now says "PG Position Assigned" ! So now I guess I have a job location! I'll find out all that information and things I need to know at Casting on Jan 9th after we check in. So there are 16 day left till we move in. One of  my roommates has come up with a packing list which is super helpful, so after the holiday I'm going to start packing and getting everything together. I have printed out all of the online documents that Disney has available on the OnBoarding website, and I have a binder that I have everything in so I don't forget anything or lose anything. I'm traveling down there alone so I want to make sure I have everything organized and done so I don't have too much anxiety.

So the countdown stands at around 2weeks. I've got two weeks to pack my life away in my car, and travel down to live on Disney Property for at least 5 months. Its going to be a great start to the new year!

Gonzo: My name is Charles Dickens. 
Rizzo the Rat: And my name is Rizzo the Rat... wait a second! You're not Charles Dickens! 
Gonzo: I am too! 
Rizzo the Rat: No! A blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat? 
Gonzo: Absolutely! 
Rizzo the Rat: Charles Dickens was a 19th Century novelist! A genius! 
Gonzo: Oh, you are too kind! 
Rizzo the Rat: Why should I believe you? 
Gonzo: Well, because I know the story of A Christmas Carol like the back of my hand! 
Rizzo the Rat: Prove it! 
Gonzo: All right! Um, there's a little mole on my thumb, and um, a scar on my wrist from when I fell off my bike... 
Rizzo the Rat: No, no, no, don't tell us your *hand*, tell us the *story*!

Every day, another new adventure. Every mile, another new zip code

23 days till Check in! SO CLOSE!

Disney has been sending out a couple e-mails as time is approaching to move in. The e-mails are basic but it means my adventure is not far away. I've packed up a lot of my room at school and will be moving out on Wed. Its so real! I can't stop talking about Disney either, I just really want to get down there and start working. I feel like this is a chapter in my life that I'm ready to start and be an actual adult. I think the time is getting to other people also because the Facebook groups are a mess. I stay out of everything, but these people on there are children and its so sad watching them attack one another. It puts into reality that Disney is real, and there are going to be tons of people you do not like, but then again to think optimistically there are going to be even more people that you possibly can like. I'm hoping for the best, and to just make friends and be cool with whoever I meet. I've read so many places that if you are just open to people, and social you have the best time there and meet awesome people. So the drama on Facebook is nothing to worry about, I just feel bad for those who get themselves involved, no need to be rude to one another over nothing. Ohwell moving on....

I have two finals left of the semester!! Woo!! Tourism and Spanish.. I'll be studying all tomorrow and Monday morning for these exams, I'm praying for an easy Spanish exam. Looking back on the semester it has flown by! I feel like I was just complaining about how long it was taking and now it is over!!!

My 21st birthday was last week :D, what an adventure that was. Had a lot of fun, maybe too much, but it is surely a night for the books!

Well I'm spending the weekend before Christmas shopping like every other person. But only I'm not shopping for Christmas I just need to shop in general :P.. Once I'm back home, Christmas will be here, and after that is time to start packing for Florida and I'll be on my way. More updates soon as my arrival date gets closer just because I'll be super excited and everyone is getting annoyed so I'll need somewhere to express my emotions!

I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. –Belle
