So as most of you may or may not know, I'm currently down in Orlando doing the Disney College Program (DCP). I'm probably one of the oldest in the program as I've already graduated college, and this was an "it's my last chance, I'm doing this before life really starts" type thing. I read so many of these blogs and had so many questions, so I'm just going to type up my experiences.
So my check in was on August 8, and as per Disney directions on the site I didn't want to arrive too much before 6:45, and so got there about 6:15. I was driving and I'm going to count this as mistake one. To be elaborated on later. The small parking lot outside Vista Way had filled up by that point, and Vista Way was not open for further parking, so one of the crossing guard/security type people told me to park in the Walgreen's parking lot. I was the third roomie to arrive and we were maybe 100 people back in line. We stood there until they opened the gates to Vista Way at maybe 8 am (honestly, I didn't have my watch and don't remember the precise time.) They had us queue up and around that time my other suitemate with a car realized she didn't have her registration/insurance information to get her car decal and ran off to do that. Shortly thereafter she texted one of my other suitemates saying she had to move her car because Walgreen's had informed the Disney security that they were starting to tow. I stayed in line until a cast member came over to us in line and told us the same thing. Cue me running. I moved my car into the now open Vista Way, where there were parking spots in abundance and no threat of a tow.
I called my suitemates and the other one with a car (henceforth J) said the cast members had let her get back in line with everyone and that I needed to get a nametag before I resumed standing with them. Cue me going up to cast member distributing nametags: "Hi I had to go move my car so it wouldn't get towed, is it okay if I go stand with my roomies again?" "I don't care if everyone else in line doesn't." Nametag: acquired. Back in line with roomies for more waiting. First group of cast members at a table with computers - check in and check phone number/email info. Wait wait wait. Enter into large tent area. Receive program guide (with sticker on back for housing arrival meeting). Profession intern (PI) tells us the law of the land (contract for behavior while in apartment complexes. No drugs, alcohol, you know the drill.) Enter into pool house type thing (AIR CONDITIONING!!) with monitors telling us important things like "close and lock your apartment doors and windows" and "Star tours has 52 possible combinations" (actually I don't remember if that's the right number, but let's assume it is. Okay? Okay.) There were several booths with cast members and the suitemates and I were called up to one (funnily enough the one my possible cousin went to. There is going to be a lot of questions as to whether we're sisters - same last name and first initial). Mission Get Chatham 3-Br not on first floor: Accomplished. Then sent to a table where we received apartment keys and they were taped in our program guide. Shuffle shuffle. Sign paper saying that housing can take rent from my paycheck. Shuffle shuffle. Housing complex ID photo time! Take out hair bow, rearrange myself. Smile. Shuffle shuffle. Don't lose ID, costs $50 to replace. Shuffle shuffle. Registering a car? Over here please (cue mistake 2 where I write X's instead of initial on all the car agreement lines) Sticker for windshield. Shuffle. Catch up with roomies. Sticker for shuttle to casting. Not 'til 11:00 am (in about 2 hours.) Another discussion with cast member about time to arrive/what to wear, how to behave aka chance to ask questions.
Back in car, drive to apartment, move all my crap in, help move everyone else's crap in. Eat something despite nerves. Wait for bus to casting. Wait. wait. Get on bus. Super attractive PI. Cue suitemates giggling. Ride ride ride. Casting!!!! ZOMG I'M GOING TO KNOW WHERE I WORK!!!! Not so much. Sticker with Adventureland/Liberty Square (AdLib) designation and Traditions group. Wait. Wait. Wait. zzzzzz Wait more. Disney look spiel for traditions. Wait wait. Somewhere in here was receive training schedule. Mine only says what I'm doing for first day of training. Guess I don't find out my location today. Talk to new people. Process I-9 documentation and get a chance to have questions answered. Cast member I talk to had a spiel ride. Express my hope that I do as well. Wait wait. Verify my number a bajillion times. Fingerprinting. Fingers don't want to be printed. Wait wait. Paperwork. Cast member from Colorado Springs: "My brother went to USAFA" "So did I! 7th graduating class!" Wait wait. Discussion about courses during the program. Wait wait. Bus. (Cute PI is back.) Aaaand 3 hours later, back to apartment to chat and wait to meet our sixth suitemate who flew in.
We went over to the Beach and Yacht resort in hopes of visiting Beaches and Cream with the new suitemate, alas the wait was 2 hours so we went to the boardwalk and got some unhealthy food. Stopped at super overpriced grocery store (never again, mistake 3) and back to room to finally sleep!
End Day 1.

Sally Ride (and other science-y things)
Okay everybody, let's take a kittenPAUSE.
While I'm sitting at work, waiting for a webcam software to install that was manufactured in, wait for it, 2002 (oh and by the way, this is the updated version), I figured I would take these few precious moments of being connected to the world by more than a two-year-old Droid with a horrible OS (really, motoblur, and it has no support) to talk a little bit about Sally Ride and Women in Science in general.
Well, I mean I am a Woman (ish, does 22 make me woman? Am I more than Young Lady? Lady? Definitely not a Ma'am.) And I have a degree in Astrophysics. So that should qualify me to talk about Women in Science.
Actually the whole topic is something really interesting to me, and all the more interesting because I am really passionate about girls doing science and equal potential and all those really important things, but at the same time, as someone who is working on getting kids interested in science and showing the wonder of science, there's a sort of untruth because I myself have chosen not to have a science research career. Not because I couldn't, or because professors doubted me (actually one of my professors is still convinced I'll get my PhD in Astronomy,) or any of that but because the day to day work in science just didn't mesh with my personality. Took me four years to admit that, but there it is. I want to inspire kids, girls in particular, to love science and the cool things that we can do because of it, but I don't want to sit in a lab all day.
But Sally Ride went through all the really arduous getting-your-PhD-in-Physics-ness, was the first American woman in space, and, in 2001, finally started her own inspire-girls-to-do-science company. And she was certainly someone who inspired me. I was never under the impression that I couldn't do science because ew-that's-what-boys-do. Doctor, lawyer, engineer, astronaut, astrophysicist - I could do and be any of those things because all of them were achievable through hard work. Well, a little luck might be required for the astronaut, but because of Sally Ride and women like her, I never felt a huge wall standing between me and being a Woman of Science.
Since she passed away on July 23 of pancreatic cancer, I just wanted to take this pause to remember her and all of the inspiration that she has given thousands, if not millions, of girls since her groundbreaking flight in 1983. Because of her, I never thought that a woman couldn't be an astronaut. I didn't have to overcome huge hurdles of "girls just can't do science." And I just wanted to say thank you to her.
Thanks Sally. I never knew you, you never knew me, but your work did not go unnoticed and so many girls do not have to face the barriers you met because of what you did.

Game of Owns: Post the Second
#pause
grumble
So I wanted to blog about Game of Thrones #gameofowns episode by episode, but here's the truth: They're so good, any time I'm by my laptop and have an internet connection, I'd rather watch them than blog about them. So, verdict: good show, if you're okay with v. graphic violence (including beheading, stabbing, rape, and entrails) then you should DEFINITELY be watching it. Well, unless you've got exams; then wait, because they're addictive!
I'm going to assume anyone who reads further is okay with spoilers ;) #season2episode7 I'm definitely spit between Arya and the Dragon Girl as far as my favorite character. Arya because she reminds me so much of Tamora Pierce's Alanna. And if I have my way she'll end up with the king's blacksmith bastard son. Because, well, all of the adorbs. I hope she gets Needle back soon. Dragon Girl is just boss. Three dragons. Young. Compassionate. Strong. Pretty. (and gorgeous clothes)
On the note of clothes the costume department clearly has the Best Job Ever.
The fire priestess worries me. One shouldn't mess with Demons.
John Snow is just amazing. And yummy. #girltalk But really. He is so noble. Sometimes to the point of stupidity. But frequently I just want to hug him.
I'm mad the sea prince and his betrayal of the Starks.
Someone ought to start paying attention to the Stark boys' prophetic dreams.
Until next time.

Game of Owns: Blog the First
Okay so I'm officially watching episode 5 of season 1 - and I only started watching yesterday!
First of all, I lovelovelove the opening sequence. It's sort of steampunk but mostly not, and the music is absolutely beautiful.
Secondly, and I should have expected this, having watched True Blood, but there is SO MUCH GORE. An unbelievable amount.
Thirdly, direwolf pups are like the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER. And also the most boss pets ever. But I felt bad for Lady...
And then there's the whole wtf incest thing and the whole why you push small child out window thing. And I really like the bastard son, he's awesome. And I also really like the blonde girl who lives with the horse people as their queen type person. She's so boss.
So yeah, lots of thoughts, I'll post more (and more like profoundly) but I am packing! I just thought I should jot some of this down while it was still in my head. Watch along with me and tell me all these people's names...
Oh and the dwarf guy is both awesome and a douchebag - which is to say I don't know how I feel about him.

Game of Owns and Post Graduation-ness
Time for another kittenPAUSE
I've been having a very weird week. What is today? Thursday? Yes I think that's right. Weird. As weird as it was to be done with exams and done with classes and it being senior week and all that, being graduated is way way weirder. I'm sure there's a vlog to come on this soon. For one thing I have very little else to do, and for another I like vlogging. And something is grammatically wrong in that last sentence, commas related I think, but let's ignore that and move on, shall we?
So right, being graduated is weird. I have a BS in Astronomy and Astrophysics, I'm looking at grad schools, and I'll be spending the next year working minimum wage jobs that I'm really interested in, but right now I'm at my parents' house, living in a room that is only sort of mine, and unpacking boxes. I have an interview in about a week for a volunteer position at a local museum (looking forward to that, seeing if I like the place and whatnot) and so I'll hopefully be meeting people from the area soon, but for now, I'm just on edge and miss everyone from school like crazy!! Well and also everyone from home.
But now that I've vaguely caught you up on my life, I'll let you in on my secret plans for the summer (not so secret, really) - I'm going to be traveling the West Coast for a bit, and what better way to spend that than blogging/vlogging/tweeting. I SHALL FILL THE INTERNET WITH ALL THE CONTENTS. ALL OF THEM. But starting now is the blogging of Game of Thrones.

I SHALL FILL THE INTERNET WITH ALL THE CONTENTS. ALL OF THEM. But starting now is the blogging of Game of Thrones.
I am breaking a cardinal rule with this show that the hipster in me is going to hate - I'm not reading the books first. I've actually done this with a couple of series now and it's nice for a couple of reasons:
1. I don't spend the entire show being angry that it's not as good.
2. I don't spend the entire show being mad that they changed something/left something out/put something in.
3. I don't read the book that is apparently super detailed a la LOTR - eventually I'll have to watch those movies but I'll let a boy feel like he's achieved something by making me :D
Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on the show (and not being crazy behind everyone else in the world.)

That Thing I Do...
And youuuu doing that thing you dooo
And PAUSE on the movie music
So it's April and no blogs in ages? Could it be because I've stopped watching television (as if) gotten my act together socially (well it's 7:30 pm on a Saturday and I'm blogging from my bedroom sooo that's a no) been bogged down in work (sort of, but no more so than usual). Do I have an excuse? No. Am I going to list some of my favorite shows on tv like the good #tvjunkie I am? Why yes, yes I am.
So without further ado, some shows that I like (guilty pleasures and otherwise) and comments about this season:
1. Once Upon A Time - Still solidly at the top of my list, I like that it manages to trick even me (totally had me going on the whole the writer is Rumple's son thing...) and that the costuming and casting is just fantastic. And with the season finale so close, it can only get better!
2. Fringe - I love this show, have for a while actually. I remember reading about it in my morning paper all the way back in Freshman year and, well, graduation is literally weeks away so, no surprise here. The sending to the future bit? Excellent, even if I have no idea why the Observers would go so dictatorship-y and saw Etta being Olivia and Peter's from like opening act. It'll be a great last season for sure.
3. Castle - What's not to like? Nate Fillion is hilarious and the red headed daughter is witty and I have no idea what the actress who plays Kate Beckett is called, but she's lovely, and Brad from Sabrina makes me giggle on a regular basis. He should call someone a witch, come to think of it... And plenty of romantic tension for the plot to go on for a good long while, if you ask me.
4. The Big Bang Theory - Another show that I've been watching from the beginning, I just can't get enough of their antics. And as an astrophysics major well... Let's just say it's very accurate.
5. Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 Oh my goodness, such solid powder puff comedy, and it's great to see an actress from Gilmore Girls again.
6. GCB Same kind of hilariousness, plus K. Chenoweth's amazing vocals. Yessss please.
7. Hart of Dixie Adorableness. And also I don't think my rankings are particularly relevant at this point. I'm just listing things I like now...
8. Dance Moms Gotta stick some reality tv in here, although I think the season is over now. Brooke was my favorite, I just loved to watch her dance. Could've done without the whole "mom" aspect of it though.
9. How I Met Your Mother NPH, need I say more? Oh and wanting to bang a chick in a stormtrooper costume? Leia fantasies aside, that's just weird Barney. Weird.
10. Suburgatory Witty and plastic - perfect!
Honorable Mentions: Psych, Community, Vampire Diaries, Raising Hope, Royal Pains, White Collar, Happy Endings, Grimm, Top Model, Last Man Standing, Touch, Bent, Revenge, and Up All Night.

OUT - Episode 8 - Desperate Souls
Literally just finished watching tonight's new episode of Once Upon a Time (or as I have affectionately dubbed it "OUT.") I'm a little late to the finish line because my grandparents are staying over (I've been kicked out of my comfy bed and into the cold, uncomfortable basement) and my grandpa, despite not following either of the teams, had to watch the Steelers/Broncos game. Now, don't get me wrong, people are allowed to watch sports; I'm just not a fan. Anyhow, game went into overtime and I just have to be pleased as punch that my dad has a dual tuner DVR because I didn't miss a moment of my precious fix and had the added bonus of no commercials. Of course, there were the 10 minutes where I was rewatching "The Price of Gold" (aka the Cinderella episode) due to a misclick on my dad's part. But all was saved.
My thoughts on this most recent episode (SPOILERS):
-THRILLED to see some Rumple backstory. Backstory of villains I often find the most compelling - how did they get to be the person they are? Were they always evil? So seeing that Rumple was himself tricked and in it because he wanted to save his son from going to war - well that was epic.
-Also glad to see Emma make sheriff - and how Rumple even manipulated her when she thought she was free of him.
-The continued faces from the Queen - especially her "cat got into the cream" face when you know that things have not turned out how she thinks they did. Also her "you're dead to me" face is pretty fabulous.
-Loved Mr. Glass - Who else would the man in the mirror on the wall end up being but a news reporter? You love what he has to say until he says something you think is wrong. And supposedly "honor bound" to tell the truth... but I digress into a non-necessary tangent here
-I love Red's hair. Like, love it. And her makeup. The stylists and makeup artists on this show ought to win an award because it's just stupendous work every week.
-The previews for next week! Hansel and Gretel? Another witch? Count me in!
She may be an unconventional hero, but like Henry, and probably the rest of the world, I'm rooting for Miss Emma Swan.
Oh and that moment between Snow and Charming? Loved it. And I miss the old sheriff. I can't wait until more cracks start showing in that spell of Madame Mayor's. :D
Until next Once Upon a Time (or my next True Blood Post), toodles!

True Blood
It's that dreaded time of year: the mid-season hiatus. Which means I haven't had an OUT fix in ages. So not okay. The good this is Vampire Diaries returns tomorrow and I'll be watching it on my parents' 60" TV. In the mean time, having lots of free time (winter break, wooh!) and pretty much nothing to do (I do have to write a paragraph for my bossies in Aussieland this past summer, but I'm failing miserably at that) I've turned to books (8 of them, 1 down, 6.75 to go) and, of course, my go to, some good ol' fashioned television.
What's on my watch list?
- I finished the Australian teeniebopper show H2O: Just Add Water. I have to say, the third season definitely suffered from ducking out casts, plot holes, and a general sense of urgency. I will say that it had plenty of mermies and pretty girls to look at though. Overall, worth the watch, especially since it's on Hulu now, but only if you want to learn the accent and you really love mermies. Which both applied to me.
- I'm currently in the third season of True Blood. After ages of seeing the commercial for it for Christmas time, finding out Sookie is a faerie from that (although I still don't know it from the show yet), and the fortuitous discovery that my dad has HBO GO, meaning I can watch it legally, I've been on a major vampire binge.
I have to say the plots are superb, the color palette is gorgeous, and despite its graphic nature (both sexual and gory-wise) I just can't stop watching. Vampires, shifters, mindreaders, demons, and werewolves, oh my! All they need is an Australian mermaid, and it'll be perfect. My favorite characters so far are Sookie (of course), Godric (can he come back please?), Jessica (I think it's because I like the hair so much), and Eric (because I just can't figure him out, and I like that he fucks with everyone else's minds).
You can expect more commentary from me in the future, as I have very few friends that share the show with me.
Toodles!
