.....but I'm actually not, because I forgot what it's like to not be counting down the days to something, waiting for the semester to be over, for finals to be over, counting down the hours til work is over, til class is over, etc. I stop counting down time because I'm having too much fun. I just love it here! I can't even describe it. And I do get to meet John Smith soon!!!!
The other day, the first day of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, my friend Jordan and I decided to stay til 6:15 for the castle-lighting ceremony. Basically the VIP's (Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy) all come out onto the castle stage, notice the castle is the one thing not decorated yet, and argue about how it should be decorated (Minnie wants candy canes on the towers, Goofy wants strings of popcorn, etc.) until Fairy Godmother comes out of the main balcony, Cinderella and Prince Charming walk out to help (since it's her castle and all), and Fairy Godmother grants Cinderella's wish to light it with magical icicles. Or something like that, but anyway, it's November 8th and at Disney that means it's official the holiday season, so as we watched the castle slowly light up with icicles...I thought I heard Jordan accuse me of crying (I totally was) but she was actually saying she was, and oh my goodness it was SO MAGICAL! Go ahead and mock us. But I'm not even much of a hopeless romantic anymore and it still made me totally wish I could be Cinderella as she leaned her head against Prince Charming's shoulder with his arm around her waist as they watched their castle light up together. So cheesy. I love it.
Also of late, I went to Hong Kong auditions this week and that was fun :) Honestly it was, auditions are so interesting. To see who went, run into friends, meaet the casting directors, dance and act a little, it's a good time.
I went to the Christmas party the other night with Belynda, Jordan, and Emily, which I think is not worth the money I'm paying for 'free' cookies and hot chocolate, but whatever. We basically just saw all our friends at work, it snowed foam a lot, and the castle Christmas show is my favorite, the chipmunks talk and are so cute! And it made me miss the Disneyland Christmas fireworks. I listen to that music every year for Christmas.
Thanksgiving's in a week! I think we're all going to get together and try and whip something up, since most of us can't go home for the holidays. I'm also finishing my independent study class in a week (TG) and many other exciting things are coming up....ALSO, I found Pocahontas on Flickr for the first time ever!! Made my day. As always, I'm making new friends every day and finding more and more reasons to wish I could stay here past January. It's going to kill me to leave. But I'll be back :)
