Obligatory Apartment Tour

Check in Day!

Wednesday was my check-in day! We got in line at Vista Way around 5:50 a.m. and there were already several people in front of us. Unfortunately, the people who had luggage and were at the front of the line had to eventually get out of line to store their luggage and then get in the back of the line at the check in building. We were among the first group to get through, however our number one choice of apartments was already almost full. We got one of the last units (out of 3) so we're feeling very lucky.

After checking in with housing at Vista Way we were off to casting. Casting took a little over an hour. The first thing you do at casting is receive your work assignment. Epcot Future World north anyone? Then you go through Pan's Labyrinth and learn about the Disney Look, get fingerprinted, and turn in all of the on boarding paperwork. By the time you're finished at casting, you are definitely ready for a break. Depending on what time you finish you then have an opportunity to do some unpacking before the housing meeting.

The housing meeting is held at the Commons complex either the day of your check in or the next morning. It's a little over an hour long in the coldest room on Earth. Nothing major, you simply watch some videos and learn all about Price Management's rules and regulations. They also give away some free prizes.

By this time you're super tired. If you have the first housing meeting you get your second day off to get settled. Me and my roommates went on a super huge shopping trip and only forgot a few important things like dishwasher soap :)

So I'm officially in the single digits....

...And I'm not sure how I feel about it. I still have some packing and shopping to do, I didn't do nearly as much this summer as I thought I would. It's the same as when I first went off to college; I thought I would spend the summer running around, going to the beach, going to Annapolis, doing any and everything in Baltimore that I can't do in Florida. Summer classes pretty much killed that.

I leave one week from today. I should be excited but I'm honestly FREAKING OUT pretty much 24/7. I just need to keep knocking out this to-do list then maybe I'll feel better....
