Lots of blog posts coming...

First Few Days

I've now been here almost 3 weeks and have had hardly any time to update my blog, time has flown by! 

Last time I updated I was still at Pop Century. Luckily I managed to avoid the luggage guys and spent my day sunbathing. The hotel was really nicely themed but still a lot of money for what you get. There was no buffet breakfast or anything, just a massive food court for all your meals. Was nice to stay at a Disney hotel though and housekeeping make animals out of the towels and flannels!

Was kinda strange being by myself but I had fun! Took a stroll to the new Art of Animation Resort across the bridge and it looks incredible.

 Really want to stay here and make use of the discount we get. There's different themed sections, Cars, Finding Nemo, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. In the evening I went to Downtown Disney and there was loads of entertainment which really got me in the Disney mood!

On Tuesday I packed up all my crap and got ready to lug it around again, I really wish I could pack light. Kerry from my arrival group picked me up as she was staying with a family friend which was great as it was nice to check in to housing with someone and not be by myself. We went to Vista Way which is where all the people on the college program live and we got given a welcome pack and our room key. We both got Commons which is where most of the CRPs live, and I got building 28. Otherwise known as the Ghetto because it is so far from the bus stop/front desk/pool/security. It's only about a 6 min walk but it kinda sucks doing it everyday, especially in the rain. You can't just run for the bus at the last minute. I didn't have a roomate for a week, I have no idea why noone moved in when I did but it was nice having a room and bathroom and large closet all to myself! After about a week housing moved my friend Marsilidh in with me as she'd been put in another complex away from us all which sucked. So now it's great cuz I have a roomate I get on with really well and I don't have to worry about who was gonna move in.

After we found our apartments we met up with Natalie from our arrival group and got the bus to Walmart. So glad I came out early as we had to do two Walmart trips to get everything we needed. Trying to board a coach with comforter sets, hangers, hairdryer, pillows and food was just ridiculous I'm really gonna miss my car! Was hilarious walking round and taking pictures of all the crap they sell though. So much junk food its so hard to find healthy stuff to eat that's not expensive. We also spent ages down the laundry aisle cuz we couldn't work out what tablets we needed or fabric softener and they all smelled so bad. We just have the toploading washing machines and I've no idea how they work.
