Is it really just a month? yikes!

Hello fellow bloggers- long time no blogging!  I know, I know.  I needed to go on a blogging vacay!! (don’t hate!)


Is it really just a month??  Well, I know, you’re probably wondering what I’m even talking about because like I previously mentioned, you haven’t been seeing much of me lately… DISNEY, is what I’m talking about though!  I only have roughly a month left on my college program at Disney.  It’s so exciting and I am more than ready to move back home, but I am struggling with the biggest change I’ll have to make… and that’s not living in the same state as my roomies here.  Ok, we can’t chat about that at the moment, or I’ll tear up… so moving on!


This past month I have been working my butt off… let me start off by telling you WHY —
I accepted a position back on campus, but it’s only a year commitment and it’s not salary paid.  I’ll be working for Americorps helping alleviate the impoverishment areas of the Mississippi Delta.  I will receive a living allowance and I will have health benefits, but I won’t be making much money, so I started picking up shifts left and right at work to create a nice little savings buffer to help get me through the year.  Needless to say (as I know I’ve mentioned time and time again), Disney over works and under pays.  I have had a total of THREE days off the entire month, today will be my 15th day straight to work and like I said, I’m honestly not making a ton of money for the crap work they make me do every day haha.


After a tiresome week and my emotions running high, I came to a realization and a new plan the other day.  I’m going to work the schedule they give me and finally start enjoying my days off without picking up shifts because like I said, I have ONE MONTH left!!! It’s time for me to reap the benefits of being a Disney Cast Member – free admission to the parks, laying out by the pool, having the time to eat right and workout.  That is my new focus!!


Next week, I have three days off, so I’ll be enjoying myself out by the pool and getting every thing done within the parks.  I want to be able to leave Disney and say that I have literally ridden every ride they have – so Monday I’m going to get a map of each park and cross off everything I’ve done and make a list of everything I need to get done in a month.


Sure, I could really use the money, but to me, the money isn’t worth it if I’m completely miserable all the time, extremely over exhausted and over worked where I don’t have time to get in a proper workout and make proper meals for myself.  


I’m excited about this new turn for my last month at Disney and I’m ready to get back home for at least another year!!


And I’ll also use some of that free time catching up with the lovely lives of my blogging buddies! 


Happy Friday, my lovelies, and for once… YES, this is actually a Friday for me because I have tomorrow off and I’ll be going to the beach with my wonderful roommates! 🙂
