Day 25 - February 4, 2009
Today I woke up kinda late. But thats okay because I had the day off. I met up with my friend Jai (a girl, pronounced Jay) and we went to Hollywood Studios. We rode Rock'n'rollercoaster 5 times haha. Im starting to really enjoy rollercoasters. We also rode Tower of Terror twice. So I've now been on it 3 times. It takes that many times before you can enjoy it I think. We also watched the Beauty and the Beast show. It was good, I remember it from when I was little. We didnt really do anything else but it was alot of fun. After all that I came back home and crashed for a little bit. I had a pulled muscle in my back all day, I'm assuming from riding Everest 7 times.....but it hurt alot so I came back home. Then Roxy got home and I took an actual nap for a little while. After our nap we went to Panera Bread for dinner. It was yummy :). Then we met up with some of Roxy's safari friends. We were supposed to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for karaoke, but we ended up riding the bus there, waiting in line for 10 minutes, then riding the bus back becuase the line was too long. So we pretty much just hung out with safari people for the evening and then came home and went to bed. It was a good day.

Day 24 - February 3, 2009
I had a total blast today. I had to wake up early for my 8 am class but the teacher was entertaining and I think I will learn a good bit, including how to write a resume so I'm pretty excited about that. So I got back to the apartment right after, ate some lunch, and decided that just because no one else was off of work, I wasnt going to waste the blue skies. So I got in my car and went on an adventure by myself. First I had to go by the hotels since Jon and his family is coming in 10 days. To get the discounted room rates, you have to go to the hotel 10 days before and show your company id. So I went by Jon's hotel first, Coronado Springs. Its a moderate value resort but man was I impressed. It's got like a Mexican vibe to it with bright colors and whatnot. It was very, very nice. So I showed my id there and then went down the road to Animal Kingdom Lodge. It is the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen in my entire life. It totally blew me away. Wow. I will definitely take pictures of both of the hotels when they get there. I know that the lobby's of hotels are usually nicer than the rooms, but I'm still optimistic. They should be great hotels and I got good deals on them. So after I got them discounted rooms, I went to the Animal Kingdom by myself. I had a ton of fun. I'm usually not one to go off by myself but it was great. I got to walk as slow as I wanted and take all the time I needed to look at the backwards knees of flamingos :). I went on the safari twice to try to get on Roxy's but it never worked out. The 2nd time I went on it I saw the lion and the lioness!!!!! It was SO cool and thats pretty rare! I've been on the safari probably 5 times now and I have only seen the lioness 1 time and never the lion. I was very excited. After the failed safari's haha, I went on the roller coaster Expedition Everest.........SEVEN TIMES!!!! I just got in the single rider line and didnt have to wait at all! It was so much fun, I didnt have anything else to do, and I enjoyed it. I learned the ride pretty well so I just took crazy pictures when I knew the cameras were coming up. It was great. After that roller coaster I decided to go on this Kali River Rapid's water ride. I was going to leave right after so I didnt care much that I would get wet and be cold. It was fun, there were barely any people on the ride and I walked right on. I didnt get too wet so it was alot of fun. I left right after and went home, crashed on the couch for a little while, then Roxy got home. She had an awesome day too. She met Joey Fatone from N'SYNC haha! Not that she is a fan of N'SYNC but its fun to be star struck haha. Apparently I JUST missed him. Oh well haha. So far we have heard that Rihanna and Beyonce have been in the parks. My roommate Courtney saw the back of Rihanna's head haha. Supposedly celebrity sightings are pretty common. We went to eat pizza last night then met up with a bunch of people to go see the movie Taken. I thought it was going to be stupid but it really picked up in the middle. It was hilarious though becuase all the boys we were with (about 5) were ALL on the edge of their seats, literally, with their heads in their hands. It was SO funny. It's a total boy movie but we had fun. As we were leaving the movies we saw the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile!!!!!! It was serioulsy the most fun I've had since I've been here. Roxy said it was her best day ever as well haha. Hopefully those days are more frequent :)

Day 23 - February 2, 2009
So i think i messed up on my headings....this is what actually happened on February 2, 2009. I slept in really late because I kept being woken up in the middle of the night. So once I had eaten lunch and watched a little tv, it was time to catch the bus. Work was much better today thankfully. We had some kind of meeting thing where I got free ringpops, candy necklaces, a mouse pad, some nice pens, some paper, and some crummy windchime thingy. It got me out of work for about an hour and a half so that was nice. Oh and I won a car decal thingy! But then I went back to work where I got to hand out stickers! and check people out on the register. I got home at about 10 (EARLY!!!) and me, Roxy, and Brittany went to the bookstore and to Taco Bell....I didnt get a book but thats ok. We watched a little tv, then I realized I have class at 8 am and needed to sleep.
Day 22 - February 2, 2009
So I was in a pretty bad mood about having to do stock. Apparently while here we will go thru phases. At first you are so excited to be here and love your job (phase 1). Then you realize that you only work at night and hate your job (phase 2). Hopefully I will get to phase 3 soon (accepting your job and learning to love it). Anyways I didnt work today which was good because I needed a mental health day haha. I'm being overdramatic but thats ok its my blog. So basically I did nothing but relax and watch tv all day....and sleep, I felt crummy from sinuses. By the end of the day when Roxy got home, we went to a superbowl gathering that had lots of free food. It was fun. Met a few people and didnt really watch the game because I could care less about the Steelers or the Cardinals. I honestly had no idea who was playing until a day before....I'm in a Disney bubble. After the game was over we rushed home to watch the new episode of the Office. We got home and realized Maggie was asleep on the couch so we turned on the television and muted it really fast, found the channel and sat really close to the tv and had the volume on 4. It worked haha. Then we went to sleep.

Day 21 - January 31, 2009
Blah. I had to work today and I was supposed to be on the register but found out when I got there that I would be doing stock. I loathe stock. It puts me in a terrible mood.
Day 20 - January 30, 2009
Today Roxy and I cleaned our room haha. We also cleaned the entire apartment, including the refrigerator. We also went grocery shopping. After all that we went to play at Epcot. We did Misson:Space and it was intense. They have 2 versions of it...1 that is intense and 1 that isnt. We did the intense 1. Supposedly you feel g forces during take off. I actually felt the skin peeling back from my face...odd feeling. It was fun though. It takes a few minutes to be able to walk and function normally again. Then we went to The Seas with Nemo and Friends. It used to be the living seas but I guess they changed it to get more people to go. The Nemo part was really kiddy and rather gay...but just the regular aquarium part was cool. I want to eat at the restaurant where you can look at the aquarium while eating fish haha. Anyways then we went on TestTrack. Thats the ride where they take you through all these tests cars go on before they are road ready. It was fun. I remember it from when I was little. Its not really a thrill ride but its alot of fun. Thats pretty much all we did at Epcot, we didnt stay long. Then we went home and did nothing for the rest of the evening.
