Almost There!

Hey ya'll!
Just wanted to update you on what's going on. We are officially 33 days away from check in and I am just getting more and more excited as the time ticks by. It is so crazy to think that 2015 is almost over and before I know it I will be working for Disney. My roommates and I were talking about how we remember when hitting 99 days was a milestone and now we're all one month out from leaving our homes and starting the journey to Orlando. I can't believe that I'll be turning in my two week notice at both of my jobs here within this next week or so, it feels like just yesterday I'd been accepted and was chatting with my coworkers about how I didn't think I would accept the offer. I am so thankful that I said yes! Just recently I had a classmate from high school pass away and that got me thinking (a dangerous pastime, I know.) I was thinking about his life and how much he'd manage to accomplish and how little I've actually done. The DCP is my one chance to change that.
I will be booking my flight within these next couple days and before I know it, it'll be time to pack my bags and leave my home for six months. I'm leaving so much behind but I know I am gaining so much by doing this program. I am almost there and I know that once I'm in Florida time is going to fly even faster than it did while we were all waiting for check in day to come. I have so much to do in order to prepare for the move and so little time left to get it finished. Just right now I'm sitting on bed looking at my room that I need to start boxing up, with no idea where to start. I've always been so afraid of change and it's surprising even to myself that I'm actually going through with this. I will actually be moving in 28 days. But even if I crash and burn, even if this program isn't all it cracks up to be (and I doubt that will happen) at least I'll be able to look back and say I did it. I don't want to be the girl who talks the talk but never walks the walk. Walt Disney once said "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." That is exactly what I am doing. I am done talking and not doing. I can't wait to see what adventure is in store for me.
I am so close I can taste it. 33 days and counting. I'll try and post again before the move if I have time but if not I will definitely post when I get out there! I will talk at you later. :)
