Just thought that I would share some of my favorite pictures that I took of my Christmas tree. It was my first time decorating one by myself and I think I did a good job. Of course my mom helped, but I did the putting together of the tree, which was a first. It was also the first time I'd really used my camera since the end of October, so it was a test trying to use my camera again!
I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday. I'll be taking the time from this for the weekend and I'll make sure to update on Monday!

You know the moment where you walk out the door or away from somewhere and you have that feeling where you don't know when you'll return? I had one of those moments today.
It's such a strange feeling when you're leaving someplace familiar and it's slightly heartbreaking that I'm going to have to deal with the feeling in two weeks when I board my flight and two and a half hours later find myself in the middle of Orlando and living just next to Lake Buena Vista and Walt Disney World. This is an opportunity that so many people would kill to have and here I am; a nervous wreck unsure of themselves. In the words of Dorothy, but with some editing on my part - "Lily, we're not in Jersey anymore." I guess it's slightly silly to even incorporate my dog in the phrase as she won't even be with me, but it's comforting to think the phrase as such.
Sitting back and reflecting my time at my first "real" job actually makes me surprisingly sad. I have honestly waited for the day where I could say that I was leaving, but now that it's happened I'm actually upset. I'm not so much upset about the job itself, since I know I can go back and I probably will even though I absolutely despise the hours and the physical pain it leaves me in is immense, but I adore the people. Each person I worked with has some sort of story that correlates to how we get along. There are a few people I feel as though I wouldn't really miss, but it's turning out I really will.
I guess the whole point of this, is if on the of chance anyone reads this that I worked with, I would really like to say - thank you for everything. I honestly mean that in the least sarcastic way possible, which is the side of me that wasn't widely evident all the time when we were working.
I really don't know what else I could even say here, so I'll leave it at this for now. However, I will mention that I leave in two weeks. There is so much that needs to be done and the time is ticking!
I will focus solely on my blog. I'm seriously tired of being belittled by all of these people who don't even know me and I'm tired of people I considered friends giving me a hard time.
Wow! I really can't even believe it! There's less than a month until I leave!
It seems like just yesterday that there were 100+ days until I would get to this point, but now my last day of class is tomorrow and I can officially start packing for Disney!
Unfortunately, I really can't say too much on that front because I haven't exactly purchased too much for the program. There's still a lot that I need to do and in such little time! I'm afraid that I won't even be able to get everything done on time, but it won't stop me from trying. In the meantime, I'm trying to put together a Disney College Program video series. I started working on it, but I think I need to revamp the whole set-up because the audio is off, the video quality annoys me, and I just want to have videos that can be passed among future college program participants. I know what I want to do, I just need to go ahead and do it.
Maybe in my down time for when I'm really not doing anything, I'll rework every single one of my videos that I've done so far. I want people to watch them, not look at them for a second and then leave. Well, I guess that's it for now. I'm hoping to have a decent update sometime soon on everything because hopefully I'll have some things to really talk about!
In the meantime, check out the playlist that I've started so far:
Also, here's the latest video, but in order to check out the playlist in the correct order, I suggest going and pressing the playlist link above! Please ignore how the thumbnail looks because I look terrible. I really wish that I could create custom thumbnails! Ughhh.
