Excuse My Venting

So, I know it’s been a fair amount of time since I’ve written on here. Believe me, it was not intentional. I just haven’t found any desire to write and out of nowhere it stuck me that I actually haven’t written anything on here in a while; more specifically in over two weeks. At least this blog gets to see some action, my other blog hasn’t been updated since my birthday which was October 13th. I guess you can say, “whoops” for the millionth time.

I guess this should be the time where I discuss the fact I haven’t made any moves whatsoever to get my plans solidified. All I know is that my check-in date in January 9th. I have thoughts running through my head on how I want to do all of this, but I have yet to make any moves to start making them happen.

The biggest issue is getting from the airport in Orlando to Disney. Why is this a problem? The taxi is just going to cost way too much, at least $50 unless I took a shared shuttle but according to the taxi company that is suggested by the college program, it would still mean I would have to travel from one location to get to the closest hotel to check-in. The solution is that I fly in early and stay on Disney property, but that once again leads to the question – how do I get to check-in? That would mean I would need to find transportation from my resort over to Vista Way. I guess I could attempt to find another college programmer who would be willing to bring me over (I would feel stupid taking that route) or just getting a taxi from whichever resort I’m staying at to check-in.

This is possibly the most confusing thing I’ve ever done. I’m hoping that I can get that end of my issues figured out.

With the exception of trying to figure out transportation, I haven’t really been doing much besides working and going to school. I’m not so sure how school’s going, but I think I’m doing alright. Just as long as I get through the semester in one piece, I’m honestly not concerned with what I get grade-wise. I’m so burned out from everything that I just need to get away and Disney isn’t coming fast enough for me right now. Though I have mixed feelings about the program, I just know it’ll get me away for a while and that’s what I need. I need a serious break from school and I would like to say work, but obviously I’ll be working. I think anything would be better than what I’m doing now, though.

It’s not that I don’t like my current job because I do, but the hours are terrible and I’m lucky if I even get any. I’ve asked for a location switch several times but never get it so that means I’m stuck doing the same thing and being lucky if I get hours. Now that it’s the holidays I’m guaranteed at least two days, but everyone else has at least a full week’s worth or work or at least have a second job to cover the days they’re not working. What makes things even worse is the fact that I can’t even pick up a second job that’s seasonal.

Ah, the joys of the job market.

I guess that’s it for now, excuse me for ranting and hopefully I’ll have a better update soon.

See ya real soon!
