Extra Extra Read All About It...Micki is settled in!

Hey Everyone!

So the past days have been extremely hectic. Move-in was on Wednesday and it was crazy. I checked in at Vista Way where we received our housing ID's that get us into the different apartment complexes as well as allow us to ride the bus. After the initial check-in I headed over to my apartment and we started to move in. Then we had to leave to catch a bus at Chatham Square to Casting where we handed in paperwork, got fingerprinted and for all other jobs received schedule's for the first days of work. Being a lifeguard though I did not receive mine. After Casting we took a bus back to the apartment to continue unpacking. Then we had the welcome meeting at The Commons. After that I had to get ready for my swim test and headed over to Mickey's Retreat. There the lifeguards met up and we took our test. Once we all passed the deep water test we received our schedules for the first few days...I am a Bay Lake Region lifeguard.

Thursday was a day filled with shopping and more unpacking as everyone got settled in. Then that night we had the welcome pool party at Patterson Court where I live.

Friday I had to wake up bright and early for Traditions. After spending four hours there we headed back to the apartments. That afternoon I went to Magic Kingdom with some WDWCP friends. We came back from the park and I was home for a little time before my roommates and I headed back to Magic Kingdom to go on some rides and watch "Wishes"

On Saturday I spent the day at Blizzard Beach with some friends and then after taking showers we all headed to Epcot for dinner and to watch Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.

Now today (Sunday) I have orientation where I will find out more about what I will be doing in my job and then tomorrow (Monday) I start my lifeguard training.

5 States and 13 1/2 hours Later

And welcomed by flashes of lightning, booming thunder and flooded roads.

My mom and me traded off driving every 3 to 3 1/2 hours to allow us both time to relax. The trip itself was fairly easy with bits of rain here and there until we entered Lake Buena Vista. Then the thunder crashed and the rain began to pound on the car. After 13 hours our butts and legs were sore, but all and all a fairly easy drive surprisingly.

After a relaxing dinner in the hotel restaurant we headed off to bed and proceeded to sleep in. This morning after waking up and showering we explored the local area before going shopping shopping SHOPPING! We purchased some nicer clothes in lighter weights perfect for the warmer Florida weather. So sorry Virginia but you won't see me until January.

So the wait is really over. On Wednesday I check into the program and then my Disney experience begins.

It Is Finally Here

So the time has finally come. Tomorrow morning at 6am my mom and I are leaving for Florida. We will be driving the 13 1/3 hour drive in one day and hope to arrive Saturday night. I am so excited to get down there and I can't believe the waiting is over.

Update to come soon and I can't wait to see my fellow WDWCP CM's in Florida!  

FINALLY!!!

So school is finally finally finally over! The semester finally ended this morning but not before throwing me into a complete frenzy because one of my exams got all messed up. Now it is time to start packing. First I have to pack up my entire apartment and get ready to move out and then I have to move everything back home and THEN get ready to move to Florida. Only 9 days until my mom and me begin our drive to Florida. Once we arrive we will spend a few days in Florida before the Meet and Greet dinner on the 26th and check-in on the 27th. So excited! And so happy to be done with my first year at Virginia Tech and my second year of college. Have A Magical Day everybody!

Classes done, Exams to come

I know I said I wouldn't update again but I had some time before a meeting so I decided to write a little bit before I leave.

So classes are finally over. All that is left now is to take my finals and write my feature story. I have my final meeting for my Co-Op today and then it is official. If I take my poetry final over the weekend then I will be done by Tuesday afternoon with my first year at Virginia Tech. Then it is time to pack up my entire life and head home and then head to Florida. So good-bye until then!

Almost There!!!

Hey Guys! 

So its almost time! Less than 3 weeks until I leave for Florida. It's crazy to think that this thing I have been waiting for since January is finally just around the corner. I can barely wrap my mind around everything at this point. 

With that being said I only have 10 days left until the semester is officially over, including weekends. I have 3 days left of classes this week, then exams Monday-Wednesday next week. My first exam is actually on Tuesday of this week during the regular class so I'm studying for that already. Once May 13th hits I am officially done with my 2nd year of college and my 1st year at Virginia Tech. It's crazy to even think that I have made it halfway through college already. 

This is going to be my last blog until then because from here on out I am going to be studying my ass off to make sure that I pass all my classes. After Wednesday I will have three days to pack up my entire apartment to move out on Saturday when my family comes with my uncle's truck and the moving trailer. Then I will have exactly seven days at home before my mom and me begin out 13 1/2 hour drive to Orlando on the 23rd where we will spend three days before check-in on the 27th. During that one week I have so much to do. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, I have my hair appointment on Wednesday, I have to take my car in for service at some point (need to make that appointment) and I have to pack everything for Florida. Hopefully I will also get to go shopping to get some new clothes especially for things like Traditions and any other meetings. 

So thats all for now. I have to get back to studying so that I do really well on my first exam. Feel free to check out my other blogs and follow me so that you will know when I update.
