Sorry guys…

So I know I have been absolutely horrible about blogging….I guess it’s a good thing bc it just shows that I am making the most of my time here? Let’s just go with that instead of the “Andie is too lazy to blog” route. So the parks have really picked up. Which I am not a big fan of. Starting now through the end of my program the crowds will only get longer, the wait lines will only get worse, and the days off will get fewer. But it does mean that the Holiday seasons are quickly approaching: Halloween, my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! Pretty exciting stuff. The Christmas lights have been going up for a few weeks around the parks, and a few days ago I was backstage and saw the beginnings of the Christmas trees getting put together. Its crazy to think that it isn’t even Halloween, and the stores already have Christmas things! 
I can’t even begin to describe how sad I am that my program is just about halfway over. I have loved every minute of my time here. I don’t know how to explain it, but this place is wonderful. Despite some people “losing the magic,” I have learned to love making the magic. I have loved meeting new people and learning more about myself. 
I have applied to be a Campus Rep for the DCP and will hopefully hear back in a few weeks. So, that’s exciting. 
Sorry this blog is a bit random and rushed, but I’m meeting a few friends for shopping and dinner. I love you all 🙂 Have a magical day!

1 month…wait, what?!

I don’t quite understand time here in Disney World. On vacation, time flies by, and before you know it, you’re depressed for the entire 9 hour drive home. However, while living here I find myself feeling like I’ve lived here forever. And at the same time, I have a hard time believing that 1 month of my internship is already over. Talk about depression. I guess that means I have to cram as much as humanly possible into the next 3 months. Quite a daunting task. 
Lately I have been all work. Which in the case of Sci Fi, is also all play. Seriously, I have entirely too much fun with my job. The long hours really don’t even bother me that much.(shocking, I know). And as long as there is a large supply of Coke at work, I’m good to go 🙂  
As for the fun stuff,  my roommates and I went to meet Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas (rare character sighting) and attempted to dominate the kitchen sink  (8 scoops of ice cream with cake, brownies, candy, and all other toppings all in a kitchen sink). Needless to say, the dessert won, but the server did rate us an 8 out of 10 in our effort. And being at the Yacht and Beach Club (where the kitchen sink is) it really hit me that I miss being a guest here. It’s such a different experience being a cast member, and I love it, but it is nice to be the guest occasionally. We also went to celebrate Epcot’s 30th Anniversary and got cool vintage buttons and maps. Today looks like it may be a water park day with a few of my friends from work if the rain holds out, then dancing tonight 🙂   
On another good note, it looks like my brother and his girlfriend are getting to come visit in a few weeks. I’m so excited! They will be my first visitors as a cast member 🙂 
I guess that’s all for now. Sorry for the lack of updates lately (my mom called me out on it, lol) I guess trying to make the most out of the program isn’t the most conducive to daily blogging, but I will make a better effort. love and miss everyone!
