My roommates are cool. They are from Alabama (my roomie), two from Illinois (including Kate), New York, and Michigan. Exciting stuff, and all are really nice. My roomie is Heather and she LOVES Nick Carter. My half of the room is all *NSYNC while her's is covered with Nick. It's funny! She's really cool though...despite the Nick thing <.giggle>

We surprised David and Jenny the first night we got here and all they kept saying was "Oh my God! I can't believe you are here." I so LOVE them! We went to Animal Kingdom and saw Brett and kitchen Jeff who is now Manager Jeff (hee hee) and they seemed REALLY happy to see us again, they just wanted us to be working WITH them again Then, Gina came and visited from Lakeland. It's SO good to see everyone again. Jen called from New Jersey and said she will be back June 24th! I can't wait! I called Joaquin today, but no one was home....so there are still a few I need to track down! And I SO will! It is SO great to have everyone remember us and be SO excited to see us again! I MISS them so much!

I called home today and mom/dad say that Honey seems sad and really misses me. I talked to her for a bit, and my momma said her ears perked up <.giggle> I love her...they shouldn't tell me those things though, makes me feel guilty for coming down here and having fun!

I met some hot guys today during our Intro to Sports and Recreation day. They are gonna be lifeguards at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. One just graduated from HS from Dr. Phillips and I was like "you know Joey from *NSYNC graduated from there" and he goes "yea, he came into my class a week ago-it was SO cool!" and I was like "Ahhhh!" LOL He was nice and didn't think I was nuts. He plays the trumpet so Joey came back in his class to see his old vocal teacher there (they are still really good friends supposedly)...They are somewhere around here...just gotta find where and when!

Well, I will try to keep this updated as much as possible! I am working a LOT this week, from 10-7 training so I will update later on! Miss ya'll!

The game plan is that I will leave about 7:30...I hope, if on time in waking up <.giggle> and try to get to the All Star Movie Resort to meet Kate around 4ish. She will have already dropped her dad off at the airport and be ready for my arrival I assume. Then, we call T to see if she is home from work, then I think we are gonna go and try to see About a boy at Downtown Disney (whoo hoo), which I am SO excited about, it looks cute.

Then, on Wednesday, we check in and hopefully Kate and I will be in the same apartment if all goes well. Then, start my summer job, whoo hoo! I can't wait, I just hope everything is exciting and fun, with limited stress. I can live without the stress.

So I am signing off for now, but I will hopefully be adding onto this as much as I can at the local library. So feel free to check to see my updates from the sunny state. Bye Bye Bye for now!

T has called twice since she has been in Orlando. She is working at DAK like I said before, at the Dinosaur attraction. She has already started working so I am assuming they are being quick in getting us all set to go. Kate is already on the move, probably near me right now, somewhere in Georgia at least. She is gonna be in Orlando tomorrow and I will make my move on Tuesday.

I have almost everything packed, although it's just a large pile in the middle of my room as of now. I am really *trying* not to take everything, but it's so hard to leave some things behind...like my *NSYNC cds...oh what will I do <.frown> But it's all good!

Well the picnic is over and done with. It was fun. Only 8 people showed up not counting Steph and I, but that was perfectly okay, cause the people who did come were so much fun! We played with our $1 store games, and ate (we had PLENTY of food) and everyone said they were glad we had it, even if the attendence was low. But next year, Steph and I are NOT gonna try this again, sorry but the torch is being passed onto a brave soul, but I will definitely come to the picnic if someone else plans it.

I went and saw all my neice and nephews today to tell them goodbye for a couple months. They are just too cute! I am gonna miss them, but it's only for a couple months, so I can live, I guess.

B called to try and get together on Wednesday in Orlando. She and Rachel are headed to Tampa for the next couple of days so when they come back, they can come visit T, Kate, and myself at Vista Way. I am so excited to be back in FL and with my friends. I just hope that I am at DAK! I hope, I hope!

I got this off DaxFiles, Lynn posted it and when I went to view it, I thought, "okay this is another hokey Christian message" but in reality it is an honest overview of things that we should be reminded off each and everyday so go check it out...Interview with God. My favorite answer that God gave in her dream about what he would want his children to learn was the following "To learn they cannot make anyone love them, all they can do is let themselves be loved."

Well, two more nights and I am on my way to Orlando. WHOO HOO! I will be updating this as much as I can, but not too often as I won't have a computer at my access like I do here, but I will do the best I can!

Moving on to the second movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Of course, Joey Fatone is in this one so that made it MUCH more fun. And the movie was hilarious! I really liked it. I want to buy it when it comes out. It's not the typical romantic comedy as I thought it was gonna be, but it was still really good!

T emailed me and said she is working at Dinosaur in DAK, so I am excited for her, at least she will be inside most of the time, hopefully, so not in the scorching Florida sun! This makes me wonder even more where I will be spending most of my summer working at...<.hmmm>

Tomorrow, Steph and I are gonna plan for the picnic some more, then onto the picnic on Saturday, me excited!

Ok so inbetween today and Saturday, Steph and I are gonna see four movies, con't planning the picnic and then have the picnic. That's a lot to do in less then three days...yikes.

B and T both say that they don't feel any different after walking across the stage. They are both graduates and still feel like students <.giggle> I am sure it will take awhile before they both realize they are adults now and in the "real world", of course T is at Disney, so she won't be in the real world till after, and she claims she just might stay on the college program till she's thirty-five <.grin> Me too T, me too!

I can't wait to see all my buds. It's been so long! I am just gonna go randomly knock on everyone's door and be like "SURPRISE, I'm BAAAACCCKKK!" and scare them hee hee <.giggle>

Oh I have so much to do this week in planning for the picnic that I don't really even know where to start. We have to think of all the things missing from the sign-up list and whatnot...and cover all our bases. Whew, who ever knew what a task planning this would be. See if I ever do this again, lol.

Ok so I am experimenting on how to upload a midi file on this page, and although this may be the "hard way" to do this, I am gonna try regardless. Let's see if this works.

I got The Reel *NSYNC in the mail today! WHOO HOO! It is SO hilarious. The guys were so free and energetic in the early 90s, now they are a little worn out and sad...SO funny. That was the best purchase I have made this year!And Lance is SO funny in this, it's amazing how his character is different with his friends then in our eyes.

Well tonight was my last official night of work before I leave for O-town. It was sad to turn my badge in, I mean I know I will be back in a couple months, but it felt like closure, and I didn't like it one bit. But the picnic is on Saturday and I know I will see most of my work buddies then, but certainly not all <.saddness>

Not much to do now...just get ready for the move. Steph and I are gonna go see a few movies this week to catch up on some we REALLY have to go see. Then, Friday will be our run-around day for picnic stuff, Saturday's the picnic, then I get ready to leave ATL. It seems so quick. Oh well. Things happen that quickly.

Paul was a great event to leave on. He was so great! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience...and I got paid to witness it <.giggle>

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! My siblings and I gave my momma two tickets to see Paul tomorrow (he is playing two shows here in Atlanta) so I can't WAIT for her to see what I saw tonight. I was on the floor tonight and BOY was it rough! It was seriously like *NSYNC in the fact that EVERYONE wanted to get closer, but different in the fact that they were all my parent's age instead of my age. It is SO much easier to tell someone younger than me that they can't do something, adults are evil. I had a couple issues tonight, but my supervisor more or less solved one. However, the second issue just pissed me off royally. UGH! People can be so stupid....

I told a man that he could not take his two 13-14 year old kids up to the front "just to see Paul up close for a second", because it was not allowed unless they had a ticket to sit up there (which they didn't cause they were in my section). The man takes his kids and briefs them about what to do (and I watch them from afar) and then takes them up a different aisle in which I meet them at the front and tell him that I refuse to "play these games and go back to your seats" while he pulls my arm and pushes his kids and they run behind me, UGH! There they go up to the next usher way in the front. PISS ME OFF. I grab the closest security guard and he gets the two kids. The man is SMILING in my face. COULD HAVE SLAPPED HIM, but no nice Carolyn usher tells him to sit in his seats. UGH! What is he teaching his kids? Disobey authority, esp. when they tell you no! What is wrong with him! AHHHHH!

So that was tonight. I hope tomorrow's fans understand that when I say "no" I mean "NO!" UGH! BUT I will be SO Happy that my parents are gonna see him tomorrow, it will make a lasting impression I think! A once in a lifetime experience for them! YAY!

A nice thing tonight was that ushers/supervisors from the Target Center visited us and I got to talk to them for awhile and at the end of the night they wanted a picture with me <.grin> How cute was that? Awww! "If I wasn't a Celebrity, would you be so nice to me" <.hee hee>

Kate called today and pretty much has her plans for Disney underway. Mine however are still a tad on the confused side. I would LOVE to go down early, but I don't see that happening, so I think I am just gonna meet up with her the day before. Joaquin said that we could stay with him and Marcus-WHOO HOO! Thanks my friends, ya'll rule! I can't wait to be down there again!

Notting Hill was just on. I love that movie. It's so sweet! "Just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." SO LOVE that.

So, technically I am not suppose to find out my grades until May 20th, but I kinda found a way to cheat and see them before hand. Drum roll please. Four A's and one B! <.grin> I am happy with that. I *think* my B is in Law, which is fine with me, cause I hated that course and am SO glad it's over. This means I made the Dean's List for three semesters in a row, do I get anything for that? <.giggle> Just kidding. I am happy though! Whoo hoo! One more semester to go and I am done! YAY!

Tomorrow I have housecleaning to do, which doesn't really involve me cleaning the entire house, just my room <.grin> and I need to work on a couple of projects that I have been slacking on, Chris' Quilt, and a late b-day present (that I am gonna be finished with soon!). Then, on Sunday I have Paul McCartney and on Monday Paul again! Then no more Philips till Fall. Saddness. I am gonna miss my usher people!

I think this semester was the hardest one I have ever had, but It was equally the most rewarding I think. Everything was so stressful so now I feel like I *SHOULD* be doing something, like I can't really relax cause I am so high strung, but I know that feeling will slowly disappear. I can't wait to go to Disney. I have three more events at Philips which saddens me, cause I hate to leave all my new found buddies, but I will be back <.muhahaha> hee hee

So four friends of mine are graduating this semester, which is sad cause they will move onto the realworld, but I am so glad that I have one more semester left cause I am certainly not ready to enter into the realworld. I want to stay a "student" for as long as possible!

Well, it's over, now I just have to wait patiently for my grades! Tomorrow I can FINALLY sleep in without worrying about having something due or anything! It's gonna be great! I do have to work on Friday, Sunday, and Monday but then I can rest and organize myself for my picnic and my trip to Orlando! WHOO HOO!

Right at 5PM I had to leave to rush over to Kroger and get onion soup mix for my onion dip, chips, and plastic wine glasses, and Kroger is out of onion soup mix. GRRRR. So, I stop off at Publix and find some (thank God!) I made it to Dr. Teel's house about twenty minutes late, but everyone was late, so no biggie

Quite a few of Dr. Teel's friends and co-workers were there. It was nice to have a networking type party. Everyone was really friendly. Dr. Teel handed out six awards for our class made up of twenty students. We had first, second (tie), and third places, and two honorable mentions. They were actual certificates in plagues. I got an honorable mention for my paper and I was *SO* surprised! One of the professors came up to us and started recruiting us to come in his political science class because "no one who takes his class writes papers like we do" How cool was that?

The party was a big hit so I was so pleased. Dr. Teel seemed pleased too and when we gave him the gift certificate from the class, he said that that had never happened before-so I think we left an impression

Well, tomorrow is the last day for me-I can't wait for it to be over. I have to turn in my take home final, which I completed today, for POP class. Then, I head over to the theater to make my theatrical debut on stage. UGH! Oh well, I have faith in my group so hopefully they have faith in me. Pray for me! By 2:30 tomorrow I will be DONE! I can do this, I CAN do this!

THEN, the day gets bad. It was about eightish-still light out and I was coming home when my car stopped changing gears. Then, it started to release a stinch of some burned oil or something, so I started to pull over. As soon as I got off the interstate and onto the side of the road, my breaks go out and I stop (thank GOD-literally) and my car starts to smoke. I *tried* calling my father, but OF COURSE he was on the computer when I try to reach him and the cell phone is turned off (thanks daddo) so I call my bro and he starts to come to pick me up. While I am still trying to call my dad, a fireman is walking towards me, and he says that two women who were behind me pulled over to the firehouse and told them I needed help <.awwww> So, he tried to see what was wrong with my car, then I went with him to the firehouse (it was just down the street) and then the firemen got called, so they locked me inside the firehouse alone and told me how to get out when my bro got there (nice guys!)

My bro finally came and got my car to the closest gas station (not far at all) then my dad came and my car was being evil. This random guy, Larry, comes up and is a retired mechanic so he figures out the problem is when I got my breaks fixed just a month ago (literally) they put something BESIDES Brake Oil in where the BRAKE OIL was suppose to go. So, my dad is gonna yell at them tomorrow. So Larry flushes out my breaks and fixes them so that my dad could drive it home.

So this is the second of our three cars to breakdown in ONE week. I have no safe car, and my mom has no car at all. Not good. Oh well, we will figure something out.

Tomorrow, I have to find a way to get to the party that I am ahead of the committee which is in charge of throwing the party...ugh. Then, I have to work on my final for POP and Wednesday do my improv. Oh please let me get through these two days.

Today is gonna be a stressful day! I am about to take my youth and crime exam, then I have my dreaded law exam tonight. When or IF I get through today, I will have two more days of crap, then I am homefree!

Wish me luck...here (I) we goooooooo....

When Steph got off work, we headed on down to the Somber Reptile to see Sam play the drums in his band, Nice Guy. They were impressingly good, but they were also really LOUD. <.giggle> Our ears rang for about thirty minutes in the car on the way home. We met the whole band. In order of the picture, Tom is at the top left (he's the lead singer and guitar player), Brock-has the long hair in the pic, but now it's cut to about shoulder length (the guitar player), Sam in bottom left-hand corner (he's got more hair now too-he plays the drums), and then Justin (the bass player). They were all really nice and fun! It was so funny to see our goofy, comedian Sam being all serious and hardcore when playing. His facial expressions got evil, but this morning at work he was still the goofball I know and love.

I got home around 1ish last night and finished my POP paper around 3:30AM then finally allowed myself some sleep, only to wake up at 7AM for work. Whew, I was *SO* tired this morning. It was stormy out and a perfect day to sleep in, but I sucked it up and went to DragonTales work. It was a pretty easy morning. I was on the floor telling kids not to stand in the aisles and be careful with the seats that like to flip up quickly. I had one issue, but with my supe's help, we took care of it fairly efficently and quickly (he said I did a good job <.grin>)

After work, I waited for Talie to talk about the picnic being planned. It was cool to finally see her office I had been hearing so much about from other co-workers. She's got the cutest puppy! She's SO nice, I am gonna miss her when I leave. Unfortunately, she isn't coming to the picnic, but she is helping out in other ways-she's so nice <.grin>

So, I turned in my paper-whew, my last paper turned in. That felt good. I got my Lip-synching presentation grade back-I got an A! I was so happy about that-I was so nervous doing it, I was afraid that would show through, but I am so happy I got through it, the A is just icing on the cake.

After lunch at the Roly-Poly, Steph and I went to Sweetwater Creek Park to search out direction corrections and whatnot. It was not so hard to find, so there is hope. I am excited! We have a grill, water, trashcans, picnic tables, and shelter (in case it does rain like it's been doing for awhile lately), AND also outlets (for the music <.grin>)

So one of my supes at work won a karaoke contest. He is a big BSB fan (I know, I know <.nods head shamefully>) BUT he won $50 for singing "GONE" <.giggle> He knows what songs to choose if he wants to win! <.giggle> Anyways, he won't admit it to me, but I *know* he really loves *NSYNC more-he's just trying to get my goat.

Okay tonight I *HAVE* to work on my POP final. Tomorrow and Sunday I am working Music Midtown, it's gonna be so much fun! But it might rain, and that will be a drag, but oh well. Monday I have two finals that will kill me, Tuesday I have a party that I am President in planning (ugh), Wednesday my POP final is due and my improv performance goes on at noon (double UGH!)-I can get through this, I *CAN* get through this. It's ONLY five days away...and it will go by fast. That's part of what is so scary about this reviewing of what I need to accomplish. Ok, it starts now.

Yesterday I took Steph to the doctors. She hit her head camping <.giggle> (sorry Steph, it's *kinda* funny) and she got a contusion of the brain and a concussion (that part is *not* funny) <.frown> She got an MRI today, results will be in tomorrow-hope she's okay...she's not feeling well at all <.frown>

Today I talked with Talie for about an hour it seemed. It was a very good and productive conversation. I was pleased with the outcome. She is a great manager, I am gonna miss her this summer. She is gonna help with the reservation fee for the park. It's gonna be great.

I just got done watching Mr. Johnny Wright on 48 Hours. It was interesting to see his side of what makes a group so popular, when he says there is no formula, and that a hit is a hit, no matter how cute the boys are or anything. Well, good thing he broke away from Lou, cause Lou claims there is a formula, evil evil man. <.giggle>

So tomorrow I have to write a paper (cause I slacked off today), go shopping for kakis shorts for Music Midtown, meet Tofu and Jen to study for our POP final, meet Steph and peeps at CNN center, work on homework, study for finals, AND then go to be Sam's groupie at his gig

This weekend is FULL of fun and activites. Working at Music Midtown on Saturday and Sunday, which leaves little time to study for my two finals on Monday...oops. <.grin> No worries, study time will happen I am sure. I found out that I have an A in my sex class! Whoo Hoo! My uncle asked if it was lab or homework <.giggle> Well, I have an A in theory, now I just need someone to show my expertise. Just Kidding...for now!

Last night I worked for four hours on my computer trying to "fix" it, but darn it even after deleting and reinstalling EVERYTHING (now all my *NSYNC songs are <.starts singing> Gone, gone, Gone, gone <.saddness>) I still can't get online using my computer, gateway thinks its my modem, grrrr.

I really need more time! I have discovered that I don't have enough time to do all the things that I need to do for school....grrr...what oh what will I do. This is a highly stressed time and I am so tired that I can't even focus on what I need to do to get it done, know what I mean. UGH, I have Senoritis and I am not even in my final semester yet!
