This video makes me even more excited!

I hope I get my Canon Rebel fixed by then!

Where are you going to be for merchandise! I work over at the studios :)

I don’t know where I’m going to get placed yet. I requested Magic Kingdom, so *fingers crossed*!

Leaving in 30 mins for a farewell dinner with my "grandma."

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:57:54 -0500

Then tomorrow I have a farewell brunch with my uncles.

And Monday or Tuesday I’m doing a final farewell hang session with Abbey.

It’s starting to get a bit hard, especially because my aunt has begun doing this thing where every time I mention Disney, she looks like she’s about to cry and changes the subject. :/

WHY HAVE I NEVER USED SPACE BAGS BEFORE, GUYS?

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:00:07 -0500

THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING THINGS EVER. HOW HAVE I EVER PACKED WITHOUT THEM?

The sheer joy of seeing your possessions being squeezed down to a third of their size is reason enough to buy them.

And oh yeah, they save so much space.

I want to go to Target and BUY ALL THE SPACE BAGS.
