I was sitting in the learning center and someone said something about flying to nashville

well one of the girls that works in here is flying to nashville the same day as me(a little later though) and then we are on the same flight back to Orlando on Monday. . .

DANG!

Mark your calendars, plan a party, because ladies and gentlemen I'll be arriving in the great city of Murfreesboro on Wednesday. that would be ONE WEEK from this great day

i've been dancing around my apartment it's soooo exciting.

also. . .uh, i need someone to pick me up from the airport. please. . .my mom has to do something at MTSU that day

This is gonna be totally random.

I took some pictures of WIshes(a magical celebration of disney dreams) last night from West Clock(where I catch the bus home). though it's not from in front of the castle, it's still cool. kinda funny that i've only been here a month and I can pick parts of the music out based on what fireworks are in the air. . .by January I'll be able to sing the whole song along with the show. . .

I have determined what i'm really really afraid of. please, don't laugh. . . all my life we use a bucket in the sink to do dishes, that way, if the water sits too long, you can just pour it out w/o touching it. . .well. my roomies don't like this philosophy, so they've removed the bucket my mom purchased when she brought me down here. . .and I've come to the conclusion, that I can't touch cold dirty dishwater. . .I can usually touch it if it's hot, but not cold. . .don't laugh

I have Wednesday and Thursday off this week. I might go to the beach. and then. for the weekend i'm supposed to come home, i definetly was given a 10 hour shift on saturday. dang scheduler. . .i guess i'll be calling in sick that weekend. b/c the plane tickets are already bought.

well that is all, have a magical day! (b/c Lord knows mine is gonna be full of magic :: rolls eyes ::)

oh, and nathan, I love how if i accidently hit back on my browser and then forward to come back to my post, i don't lose it all(knock on wood!)

I've also been talking to someone tonight who has made me realize some crazy profound things about relationships and the such(no one knows this person, so don't ask)

Florida is good, and I really wanna come see everyone. . .

and mom, don't ask. b/c I don't feel like sharing. and I won't

QOTD: "So it's offical, Disney doesn't care about us." ~Angel Thomas(the coolest negro I know)

I recieved some books today in the mail that will distract me from schoolwork for at least the next 3 weeks. it's a series!

I bought a purse today. the funny thing is that I don't carry a purse here b/c i just carry my backpack back and forth to work. but anyway, i bought a purse today

I worked with an attractive italian speaking guy named Bryan today. too bad he doesn't live in Chatham. . .

tonight, I was trying to get off my bed and go get something. and then, I managed to flip off my bed, into the floor, as my roomie walked by

I think it qualifies as the funniest thing i've ever done

Oh my gosh, these little christians are sooooo dang rude, annoying, and slutty.

yes my friends. christians. Never in my life have I encountered more obnoxious people. and you'd think. honestly. it's a Jesus event.

To the teens and NBYG alumni that read this. . .it makes everything Skid says about how to act in public with the group valid. . . . But on the bigger scale.

Like, I was always well behaved when I went on those trips with the group. but now, working on the other side of the fence, I realize that the biggest problem the church has(this being, all christian organizations, not just the CoC) is that we don't watch are actions in public, nor do we take into consideration that the world never stops watching.

take a minute and stand on the other side of the fence.

also, As I was leaving work tonight. someone asked me where to buy alcohol.

yes sir, someone asked where to buy beer at a christian event.

A guy asked me where to buy beer tonight at magic kingdom

during Night of Joy

also, my phone is pissing me off b/c i've got too many numbers in it and i can't delete more than one at a time

it's really making me angry

An event to some considered the "nights of terror" it's acutally considered one of Disney's "holidays". this "holiday" is equal to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Night of Joy is a HUGE two night event for christian music. Well, according to my roomie who works on the west side said it was sooo cool, she got to see the concert(matthew west and casting crowns) and everyone was so nice and into Jesus

Now, on the east side, it consisted of people that annoyed me a bit, and then me giving directons to a theater I wasn't really sure of the location of. . .

Night of Joy is ironically the worst time of the year for disney. More stuff is stolen and more money is lost than any other holiday season.

Strange isn't it. A huge christian event, and more stuff stolen than any other time . . .

:: on a side note, I sold soda to a family from Murfreesboro today. Their kids go to Reeves Rogers(daughter had a school shirt on, I mean seriously what are the chances of another reeves rogers) but I did ask, so they really were from M'boro. and that was quite an exciting time for me ::

the question may be posed what do people do at this hour. well. here are some ideas

1. bounce between apartments and ask for sugar until you fill your sugar container
2. go through your apartment phone directory and call everyone(that is if you live at disney, b/c we don't have caller ID)
3. Take random pictures
4. talk to the old crazy neighbor

that's all i got

I have to work till midnight!!!!

:: sigh ::

The whole homework thing isn't working so well for me right now.

My roomies need to go to work so I can stay home alone and freaking study

and yet another update. The teacher for the class i've been totally stressing over because I had the late assignment posted this tonight:BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I uploaded the wrong file for WK2 and did not notice the error quickly enough. In the correct file, the assignment is slightly briefer and the due date is Sept. 11, not Sept. 4. I apologize for the mistake and for the anxiety it caused some of you. I will find a way of making it up to you later this semester.

wow. . .I have a few more days

:: sigh ::

I crop pictures instead of homework

I was laying in bed today working on homework and I started to read something for my english class when I decided I was kinda tired. So I took a nap. and then woke up like 4 hours later.

I got out of bed and walked into the living room, and my room mates had rearranged. it was kinda interesting, and I enjoy it more

that is all.

but then, there is more
Update: Orlando: 11:59, Murfreesboro: 10:59

we all recall my putting up pictures of my fabulous apartment when I got here


photo from lauraebeth

well, we re-arranged.


photo from lauraebeth



and the rest of the pictures are located in my picture album

everyone should take note of the pictures to the right. these birds were in my hallway this morning. and they're very large

so I called Cingular again today, b/c I soooo convientiently dropped my phone in the pool.

well this time, I talked to a man.

HE told me that there is actually a one year warrenty on the phone, not just 30 days. So this guy said "let me transfer you to the return by mail department, and here is the number in case you get disconnected" he proceeds to give me a number for that department. a number that I'd been given like 2 days before, I informed the man of this. I told him that I was transferred to that department a few days before, was hung up on, had to dial that number, was transfered to another department, had to wait in a queue line and then told I was gonna get called back when I had the opportunity to talk to a manager. needless to say I was never called back. After I spilled this story to this man, he was like. . .hold on a second, let me get a form. He got a form, filled it out, and I'm getting a new phone for free on Wednesday.

ha! cingular, eat my face!

It angers me that there are people in this country that have NO respect for what happend in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama with the Hurricane. There was a guy at the pool today that said they don't need our gas and if he were in that situation he'd be canoeing around the streets, or get a boat and dive down for beer and have parties. . .i wanted to hurt him, ,but he was much larger than me.

I've posted pictures of my grandmothers house on the right. and I know that my mom's friend Margo is currently lving in Houston, TX b/c their house is pretty bad.

adding more. . .Pac Sun has a credit card specifically for college students, the credit limit is only $200 and all four of us were immediately approved tonight. but no worries, i just bought a really cheap cute skirt, and really expensive cute shoelaces. . .i'm going to the outlet in the morning

also, it's kinda hard to do school work with so much going on in my apartment. I plan to sit down tomorrow(today) and complete as much as possible. it's so wierd being able to do school on my own schedule. . . :: sigh ::

I promise that the smell of muffins, turkey legs, and pretzels is lodged into my nose. I worked launching pad today, and that's what we sold

I also have been trying for 4 days to get cingular to fix my phone, but they just tell me that they can sell me a new one for $150. and that's just not worth it. well, I finally just said, screw it. and called motorola, where they told me I could buy a new faceplate.

screw cingular.

my roommate just caught a toad as she kinda made it accidently go into our apartment. . .and it pee'd in her hand

i'm sooo sad. . . I have to work on next friday and saturday. I hope I get to talk to my scheduler because I really wanted the 9th and 10th off. There are those Nigh of Joy concerts and I don't wanna have to work.punks. . .
