And Just Like That...

Like many-a-blogger I must apologize for this aggressively delayed final post. I've been thinking of the best way to wrap up this adventure, to put it into words how those "last's" were for me without sounding super cliche. I don't want to give every detail away because remember people, there's much more to come in my book, but I know I just can't leave you hanging.

Now that I could look back at it, I'm almost at a loss for words how to sum it up. The last few weeks were probably the most fun. The fact that we were all leaving was starting to sink in and my friends in I had decided to crank out every fun memory that we could. It was a blast, but it made it even more difficult because, hey now it was just starting to get super fun.

My last week was filled with long hours, hard rain, and my father flying in from Colorado. We hit the parks for two days and on that final night, as so many CP's had done, I watched Wishes for the last time. Tears welled up in my eyes, I am such a baby, and I found myself thinking "dreams really DO come true." 

My program had its ups and downs but I met some amazing people along the way, was introduced to incredible experiences, and had the time of my life. I'm glad I did it. I passed the "See Ya Real Soon" sign for the last time on my way out of Orlando and kissed my beautiful memories goodbye. It was truly incredible.

The Final Stretch

Well we're getting near the end people! With only a month left we've decided to kick it into high gear and squeeze everything we can out of this last month, which started with a trip to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure today with some friends! Of course this was lots and lots of fun and because I'm technically a Florida resident I bought the annual pass and have every intention of going back because it pays for itself after about three times!

Work has been FLYING by! I worked 40.6 hours this week, which is the most I've ever gotten scheduled for, which is crazy to me because my Magic Kingdom friends are getting scheduled for like 50+ hours! Nothing too new to report at work! Yesterday I worked a midday shift, which means I got done at 7:30pm when the park closed at 9:00pm. It was strange to me, CP's normally close. So I decided to ride Expedition Everest real quick after work...lots of fun, as expected.

I'm going to Vegas in nine days, which I am so excited for and then my dad will be down a few days before my last official day! It's crazy how fast it's all flown by, but of course it was expected!

Summer Extension

It had been a month since my Character Performer audition when I finally received an email. They said I would hear back between April 2nd and April 7th and I heard back at 10:09am on the 2nd. I opened up the email and saw it:

So here comes the part that you don't want to hear...I have declined the offer. What an amazing opportunity this has been, and I am so honored to receive it. But it's time for this chapter in my life to come to an end. I need to finish up school, school comes first.

By now you probably want to punch me through your computer screen, I know I would've if I was looking at this from six months ago. But I feel confident that I've made the right decision and happy knowing that.
