But seriously though, where has the summer gone? Not that I'm not excited to start my CP and everything, but I have six weeks left at home and I have thus far, not only accomplished approximately nothing productive with my summer, but have done essentially nothing in preparing for this program. NOTHING. And in less than forty days, not only am I moving to Florida for five months, but I'm moving away from home for essentially an entire year because I'm going abroad in the spring. And that is terrifying. TERRIFYING. Caps and italics kinda scary.
I go away to school, and I have spent the last two years living four hours away from home for nine months out of the year, and that's fine. But I cheat all the time and come home for the long weekends and obviously Thanksgiving and intersession and spring break are all thrown in there. And when all is said and done, it doesn't really feel like I don't live at home. But after August 20 (August 18, actually), I will not set foot in my house until January. And then, I'll be home for about a week and then I'll be whisked away to London for another five months. And who knows where I'm going to end up next summer?
So after promptly freaking out and texting all of my friends, "I'm leaving in 38 days. WTF? Hang out with me." I realized that I had six weeks to accomplish a year's worth of friend time/family time/cleaning/organizing. So I better do something about it.
Below, is my to-do list pre-Florida:
- Sign up for Disney classes. STATUS: Done... ish. I've registered for Creativity and Innovation, and I'm on the waiting list for Entertainment Show Production because I'm a theatre minor and not a major. Not sure when I'll find out about the status of that, and if I do get in, I'm not sure whether or not I'll drop C&I. That might have to wait until Florida.
- Triple check that my Disney classes are recognized by my university. STATUS: Not done. Whoops. I should send out some e-mails. Currently taking an 8-credit internship and a 4-credit course to put me at 12 credits and stay full time. But the career development center at my school told me that a Disney class could replace my 4-credit class if I registered for it. Now Disney is telling me their classes only count for three credits, which would put me under the full time requirement for my school. I have a feeling there is going to be some heavy paperwork involved in this.
- Go up to my school to finalize my London application and my credits. STATUS: Next week. Roadtripping upstate.
- Spend time with my family. STATUS: In progress
- Finish whatever weird things I put on my summer to-do list. It's about three pages long. STATUS: We're about a quarter of the way there. Gotta pick it up.
- Finish out my current internship strong. STATUS: Okay.
- Organize my basement. STATUS: HAHAHAHAHAHA.
- Make a Disney packing list. STATUS: ACTUALLY DONE! It's like four pages long in a word document, but whatevs. I'll post it here when I'm not lazy.
- Shop for Disney. STATUS: Shouldn't be hard, but that brings me to the next item on my list...
- Not be financially incapable of life. STATUS: Jokes. Broke forever.
- Pack for Disney. STATUS: Starting August 1. That should be enough time, right? Two and a half weeks to get my life organized?
- Get room things sorted out with prospective roomie. STATUS: In progress.
- Get pre-check in Florida adventures planned. STATUS: Done.
I think that's it. I hope that's it. I don't know. Wah.
