Thanksgiving Week

So now that I only have 23 days left here I am trying to get as much done as possible and let me tell you there is a lot of stuff on my to do list coming up over the next few weeks. I have been trying to go to the parks as much as possible also.

On Monday I started late that night so I went to the dine in movie theatre at Downtown Disney. It was the best thing I have ever gone to! They had a full bar, tables in front of your seat where you pressed a button and your server came. It was amazing and I got a little crazy and spent way too much money on food but I guess why not just enjoy it?

On Tuesday I had the day off as well as some of my best friends from work. We decided to go to Epcot to ride the Figment ride (for some reason we have been dying to do this) it was the worst and weirdest ride I have ever been on. Sometimes when you get off of a ride at Disney World you wonder what kind of drugs they were feeding the Imagineers who designed the ride. This was definitely my first thought. We also went on Captain EO its a show from the 80s starring Michael Jackson that was brought back recently. It was interesting but the entire time I thought about how much my mom would probably love this.

We then went to Downtown Disney to go to Disney Quest. Its a 5 story arcade and it was pretty fun. They had a lot of interactive activities and we did almost everything. They had Buzz Lightyear bumper cars, a river rafting simulator ride, make your own rollercoaster, and other activities. Overall it was cool but I wouldnt go again. After we did some shopping and of course stopped to see Santa. After all I need to make sure he gets my christmas list in time since I will be home for Christmas this year.

On Wednesday I baked cookies with my friends from work for our Thanksgiving party. It was a lot of fun and it was nice to get into the holiday spirit. We made gingerbread men, ginger snaps, sugar cut out cookies, chocolate peppermint cookies, and pumpkin pie bars.

Thursday was Thanksgiving and it wasnt as sad as I thought it was going to be. Honestly I really just forgot it was Thanksgiving because it didnt feel like it at all. I went to the ESPN Sports complex for the Old Spice Basketball Tournament. My friend Lauren from work really wanted to go since her school was playing in it. It was actually a lot of fun to see the complex it was absolutely gorgeous! And we even got on TV too!  Afterward I went to work and we had a potluck. One word to describe it... INTERESTING. The food was just weird because it was people from all over the world making different dishes. There was rice and beans even. I wasnt that impressed and either were my friends from Australia. They couldnt figure out why we liked the holiday so much.

I got off work at 11 and went home to change then ventured off to the mall at midnight. It was actually a lot of fun and we stayed until after 4 before finally venturing home. I came home passed out and now I am about to leave to go to work.

There is a lot of exciting things coming up over the next few weeks... our Winter Formal, Graduation from the program, my mom and sister are coming, and just spending my last days at the parks. Even though I didnt love the program it wasnt the worst thing ever. I really love all my friends I have made here and cant wait to visit them after the program.

Still waiting to hear back about the internship so keep your fingers crossed!

Heres some pictures from work when we are waiting to go home.
