Month three

So, here's to surviving three months as a College Program Participant working at Walt Disney World. So this is what I have learned so far: 

* You will rarely ever have extra spending money
* You will probably fight with your roommates more than you will get a long. 
* Sharing is hard
* Other cast members can be down right mean
* Latin season is literally a thing of nightmares
* I don't speak Spanish, I will never speak Spanish. Nor French, Nor Portuguese, Nor any other language that isn't English. 
* I don't like do anything in the Florida sun. 
* Buying toilet paper, can and will, surely turn into a war. 
* Pin trading is an addiction that no one will over come. 
* Doing laundry is literally the last thing anyone wants to do around here. 

So now to revisit my bucket list that I had made before my arrival date:
1.) Get into the Disney College Program.
2.) See "The magic, the memories, and you" Show at Cinderella Castle.
3.) Eat at Chef Mickey's
4.) Walk down Main Street
5.)Make a wish at Cinderella's wishing well
6.)Eat an entire kitchen sick with friends
7.)See Magic Kingdom all dressed up for Halloween
8.)See the Castle covered in lights at Christmas time.
9.) Go to Gaston's Tavern in New Fantasy Land
10.)Ride Splash Mountain
11.)Eat a Dolewhip
12.)Go to Epcots food and wine festival
13.)Eat a Mickey Bar
14.)Take my family to Disney World
15.) Get a Picture with all the Characters
16.)Go to Star Wars weekend
17.)Try the tye-dye cheesecake at pop century
18.)Attend Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
19.)Do all four parks in one day
20.)Find the Hidden Mickeys.
21.) Eat a Turkey leg
22.) Send my friends and family at least one post card.

So that;s the list of all the things I thought I would want to do, So now I am going to make a new bucket list.
So here we go. 

1.) Eat at Ohana
2.) Eat at Chef Mickey's. 
3.) Stay in a Disney Resort
4.) See Magic Kingdom at Christmas time.
5.) See Magic Kingdom at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party.
6.) Go to Epcots Food and Wine Festival 
7.) Get a Picture with all the Characters.
8.) Do all four parks in one day
9.) Eat a Turkey leg.
10.) Buy Minnie ears for every holiday I am here (Halloween and Christmas)
11.) Try new foods. 
12.) Make new friends
13.) Ride every ride in every park at least once. 

I literally can't think of anything else to add that I haven't already done. So if you have any suggestions feel free to add. 

I can tell you this, I have learned more about myself and who I am in the past three months than in the previous 20 years of my life. This program may be a nightmare sometimes, and I may cry myself to sleep on occasion but it's doing wonders for my confidence and social skills. 
I'm this awkward little shy girl and this program is breaking me out of my shell so much. I can't thank Disney enough for that. 

I bought my first Disney Merchandise today. A Pandora Bracelet and a Halloween pin. I also plan to purchase my first pair of ears, the Minnie halloween ears, cause it's my favorite holiday after all. 
These three months have flown by, and I literally can not believe I only have five months left. 

Have a magical day!
