the end arrived
I've now been back home for two days. I'm all unpacked and have a job interview tomorrow. and of course i'm in disney depression mode..i don't know where i'm going from here but for now… I’m in Texas. And, as a good friend said, I’ve gotta learn to make the magic without Jiminy Cricket behind me. I’ve spread a little pixie dust here and there, but it’s time to really make an impact! Wish me luck!

the end is near..
I can't believe it tonight i got my last schedule as a disney cp :O
It's just so crazy how many emotions are running through me right now, i'm sad, happy, excited, depressed, etc. Pretty much i'm a rollercoaster especially when my co-worker ashley was signing my autograph book she started crying and then i thought i was going to cry. She looked at me and was like, "lexie i can't do this writing in this is saying goodbye, i'm not ready to say goodbye."
But i know this is not goodbye, i already have plans to see her in november. and i'm making other plans to possibly see some of the roomies in october. this program ending is not goodbye, its see yeah real soon.
the countdown update
9 days till my family arrives
12 days till my last day as a CP
13 days till my status switched from CP to CT (Seasonal..bababababyyy) :)
15 days till i'm back home in texas :/ & :)
and to close here's a quote from a song i have on replay right now
"as we go on, we remember all the times we had together. And as our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever."

Spring Advantage 2011 Graduation
In case you couldn't tell by the title of this post.. I graduated :)
Yesterday night at 6 o'clock me and two of my roommates molly & ali got dressed up in our cute spring dresses to go get our certificates and ears. I was excited and nervous at the same time cause i didn't really know what they were going to do. I soon discovered that graduating meant waiting in lots of lines. The first line we waited in was to get our diploma and (wrist bands for food) for completing our program. After that we got in a line to grab our famous mickey mouse graduation ears, then we stood in another line to take pictures with our ears on in front of the completion banner they had set up.
Then we got in line to get our food which was amazingly delicious. There was hot dogs, hamburgers, barbque pork & chicken, corn, mac & chz, baked beans, sweet tea and pink lemonade. After we ate we waited in more lines to take pictures with mickey & minnie, pluto, and daisy. Donald and goofy were there as well but we didn't get a chance to take a picture with them.
We then decided to leave graduation early to go to our favorite park Hollywood Studios :) were we toke pictures in our new grad ears in front of the sorcerers hat and with the walt statue. Then we rode some of our favorite rides tower of terror, great movie ride and star tours (and molly was the rebel spy).
Once we got home I realized that we only have 3 more weeks till i'm back home in Texas, I can't believe that just a few months ago I was meeting my roommates for the first time, I was going to Traditions, Casting and On With the Show. I went through my pictures of my program and I learned that i only have 250 for my entire 7 months i've lived here i feel like i need 300 more. So as one of my goals before i leave is to take as many pictures with my roomies and co-worlers whenever possible.
Well i have work soon I'm working at oscars today :/ but hopefully the time will go by fast.

help list for new cps :)
since my program is almost over i figured id share my knowledge i've learned from my program to all the new incoming cps..enjoy :)
1. ROOMMATES: go big or go home, get the biggest size apartment you can, why because there cheaper and the whole point of the college program is to meet new people from all over the world. don't limit yourself to a one bedroom because your afraid of drama or not liking your roommate.
2. CP BUSES: THEY SUCK PERIOD. no matter how much you luck you have or how much you complain. your bus will be late, break down, be overcrowded or leaking water on the seats. there's no escaping it so just bear with it.
3. IDS: don't stick them in your pocket they will fallout and you will lose them on the bus with little hope of getting them back.
4. HAVE FUN: disney is hard & fun. you will work your butt off (excuse the language) but it will be the most rewarding thing you will ever experience. You will meet people from everywhere, learning new things, and most importantly you will change. Your going to grow and discover things about yourself you never thought possible. so on your days off don't sleep go out to the parks, have fun and enjoy it. you only live once don't let it pass you by :)

update wow it's been awhile
I can't believe it's been six months since I last posted a blog, to catch up on how long that was. my last blog was back when I first arrived in Florida. And now i'm updating right when it's about to end. It's crazy how fast time has flown here, it's weird watching all the new fall & fall advantage cast members getting trained and coming in. i feel like omg they look so nervous but hey that was me 6 months ago :)
here's a little catch up on all i've done in florida
went to Universal/ Islands of Adventure...Harry Potter land i have to admit was awesome better than expected.
went to Seaworld..Manta best roller coaster ever period.
I survived ESPN the Weekend and Star Wars Weekend. out of the two crazy weekends i have to admit star wars was my favorite no not because I had to work till 3 am, but what i did after i clocked out every weekend me and my coworkers would go to ihop or alehouse or steak and sheak. those were some of the best nights of my life with memories i'll carry with me long after the program is done.
went to bdubs on wednesday night alot :)
All the spring kiddos left, meaning I lost my roommate kim, andy, maggie and megan. Its hard losing people on the cp no matter what anyone says.
But soon it will be me and my roommates leaving, we will parting ways and heading back to our old lives. Its crazy to think about going back to my old life when i feel like my life here has only just begun.
It's all bittersweet I miss home my family & friends but i'll miss everyone here my roommates & coworkers. I definitely will be spending my last month in florida going out and doing everything i can so i have no regrets.

I'm here...checkin tomorrow
Sorry it's been awhile it's just been so crazy since i've been here. time to play catch up.
On January 24th, me and my mom caught an 8 am flight to orlando from Houston. Once we got to orlando we picked up a lot of my stuff we shipped here to my moms office, then we ate lunch & checked in to Saratoga Springs. After that we did a Walmart to grab things for my disney apartment that i didn't have. the only thing we have left is food & cleaning supplies for the apartment. Then we went to California Grill at the contemporary resort for dinner. We ended the night with a shopping trip to downtown disney.
On January 25th (today): me and my mom went to hollywood studios, we rode rockin roller coaster & toy story twice. we watched american idol, learned how to draw donald at the animation class. and went exploring for vinylmations. and once again we ended our night with some earl of sandwhich for dinner and more downtown disney shopping.
I'm so excited tomorrow for checkin, can't wait to find out where i'm working
