Day 2

So I'm going to try to update as often as possible, to keep you all informed about what's going on. We'll see how long that lasts.

Yesterday we had our housing orientation meeting, which was almost entirely predictable. It was basically just how to behave, how to treat the apartments, the top 10 reasons why people get sent home, etc. OH and we do have apartment inspections. If our apartment fails the inspection, we each get fined $25. If it passes above expectations, we get a big box of chocolates!! So we're trying for the chocolate.

After the housing meeting, Mom, Ryan, Shelsy, Amber, and I went to IKEA (A.K.A. the best store EVER). We ate lunch there and then shopped for some fun stuff. Amber screeched (very happily!) quite a bit. It's really adorable when she does that, but very loud. After we came back and had everything in the apartment, we sat around for a little while, then the family left to take Mom to the airport. It was sad to see her leave, but I'm glad I get to see her and my whole family again in just about a week and a half for Elizabeth's wedding!!

Last night was the welcome pool party. 4 of the 6 roommates went. We danced the Cupid Shuffle, ate hot dogs, and played lots and lots of volleyball. I met SO many people, I can hardly remember everyone's names. BUT I do remember that I met a guy who lives in Allentown (which, for those who don't know, is a city that's only about 20 minutes from Kutztown!), so that was pretty cool. Then it started raining while we were playing volleyball, but we stayed anyway. So bottom line, we all got soaked and covered in sand. So we went home and got showers before going out for dinner.

Today we all have Traditions, which is sort of an orientation to the Disney company. We'll get our nametags and officially be hired as Disney cast members. However, the dress code for Traditions is REALLY strict, so we're all worried about what to wear. It's been quite an interesting morning.

Bring on the pixie dust.
