Days 4, 5, 6, and 7!!

Wow, things have gotten crazy! I've barely had time to update, obviously. So this might be a long-ish one.

SO Animal Kingdom on Thursday was a blast! It was really cool to see my ride, the Wildlife Express [WHICH, (as pointed out by ...ahem...Tom...) I failed to mention, I will rotate between driving and giving the tour speech for]!! Haley, Grapes, and I spent a good portion of the day there, going on Everest, seeing Finding Nemo (SO GOOD!) and just having a great day exploring the park and seeing the animals. THEN we got the bus back to Patterson and met a kid who told us about a Day Glo party that a nearby club was having. So of course, we ended up going that night.

For those who've never heard of it, a Day Glo party is a neon paint party. Everyone wears white and the only lights are blacklights, and they spray/throw paint on the whole crowd. It was quite an experience. I'm glad we got to do it, but we ended up leaving early because there were SO many people there that we could hardly breathe. SO Haley's sister came and picked us up. It was TONS of fun, but we were glad to get out of there.

Then on Friday, Grapes, Haley and I slept in (while the other three roomies went to work!) and when we were all up and about, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios! We had SSOO much fun! I felt like such a little kid, walking down Sunset Blvd, being greeted by old-Hollywood style characters, etc. It was an absolute blast. We went on the Great Movie ride, Rockin' Roller Coaster, and some other fun stuff, before Grapes decided she wanted to go to Magic Kingdom. So it was just Haley and I who went on the Tower of Terror, saw the Journey of the Little Mermaid, Rockin' Roller Coaster again, got ice cream, watched a hilarious street show, and went home. That night, I went over to Ryan and Shelsy's and just chilled for a few hours before going home to sleep.

SATURDAY!!! Saturday was DAKlimation!!! It was our introduction to Disney's Animal Kingdom. All-in-all, it was a 6 hour orientation. It was great. We learned all about the history of Animal Kingdom, got awesome water bottles, and took a tour of the whole park, learning SO much along the way. After we ate lunch, we went to costuming!! I found my costume without much trouble, and went home with 5 sets of shorts and t-shirts. It was quite possibly the best day yet.

Yesterday was a nice, relaxing day. I went to church with Ryan and Shelsy in the morning, and ended up hanging out with them until around 8pm. Shelsy and I played Disney Dance Dance!!! We totally rocked it. Then we went to the grocery store which was oh so much fun. Everyone and their mom stopped us to say how cute Amber was. The lady in the seafood dept. even told us we could leave her there if we wanted. Everyone loves her. I can't blame them. We went home, made dinner, and sat around till the baby woke up, and I left not much later.

TODAY is my last day off before OJT (on the job trainint) starts!! I can't WAIT for tomorrow!! It's gonna be great. But I have a TON to do today, including go buy unmarked, black, leather shoes, so I'd best be going. I miss you all!

Oh, and pics of my costume, roommates, and apartment are coming soon, I promise.
