It's over...

I'll look back at this and smile because 

it was LIFE and I decided to Live it.

Side-note: I should be packing the rest of my stuff right now, but my roommate is still asleep....so later.

Wow, so my Disney College Program is officially completed. I have clocked out for the last time...I turn in all my costumes tonight, and move out of my apartment as well. 

I'm not going to lie though, this is really bittersweet...because as much as I begged and pleaded to leave this program....when it finally started to get good, it got really good. I am so attached to so many people I have met down here and I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. 

I am so proud that I can say I made a choice to apply for the program, got accepted, and on a whim picked up my life in New York and moved it to Florida for 8 months. Not a lot of people would do that alone, a lot of the people down here had friends that were coming or family that lives close...so they weren't alone. 

But I was alone. It was a huge change for me. 

My leader asked me today "Are you coming back?" I could have answered that three different ways three different times: 

Before the program started: I am going to extend, then go back to school, then reapply. 

During my program: No way in hell. Not as part-time, not as full-time, and never as a cp again.

Now: Maybe as part time or full time, but I wouldn't ever do the college program again. I worked to damn hard to get treated the way I did by the full timers because they looked down on me. Because I wasn't 'going to be here long' they treated me like they already knew I wouldn't care about this program. They were wrong. I love this program, I loved my leaders, and a lot of my fellow cast members too. 

The lesson? You cannot judge me just because you think I am young and naive. I am very much capable of proving you wrong,

Tonight, my mom gets here! as well at my sister, step dad, and best friend. I get to show them the world I have been living in for the past 8 months, and I am so excited to be able to share this magic with them!
