Yesterday I got the great news that I was accepted into the Disney College Program starting in January and running through August.  I thought “well, gee, this is exactly what I wanted!  And now I can finish up my last 6 credit hours at Disney and end my University career with a job even before I graduate.”

Well you know what?  I’ll tell you.

The University of Florida has a requirement that all underclassmen must complete their last 30 hours of credits in residency, meaning that they have to stay physically at the University of Florida and the classes must come from the course list given by the university.

WHICH MEANS:

I can’t do the DCP because I only have 6 more credit hours left before I graduate.

My adviser also almost gave me a heart attack because he said that I shouldn’t be a student right now, having come in with an AA.  I should’ve graduated in the allotted 2 years and been out this past May.  He then realized that I was admitted as a freshman, not a transfer student, so I’m able to have more time to complete my degree for educational reasons and I’m right on schedule for that after all.

HOWEVER,

There is a way around all this.  I have to fill out about 6 different forms, write a personal statement that says why I should be allowed to complete my last 6 hours as a transient student and how it is beneficial to my educational and life careers and how this program will positively affect my life, and find Disney literature that says the courses they offer will effectively fulfill the requirements and hold up to the standards of the University of Florida.  Then I have to staple it all together and turn it in and have it reviewed by the General College Petition Board who will read my request on a Friday and tell me the results by the following Tuesday at 1pm.

So basically my future rests on the decision of a bunch of people who don’t know me and are part of a university system that is out to screw me over.

You’d think UF would want me gone so that they can accept new freshman that don’t have as much financial aid and are forced to pay higher tuition rates.  Do you think I should write my personal statement from that angle?

“You should let me leave because I know you greedy bastards wants more people out so the new people can come in a give you that new BMW so you can look flashy driving around Gainesville.”

And to top all this off, I cried today.  In public.  FML.

So I have until October 9th to officially accept my admittance into the DCP, and hopefully the board will have accepted and approved my petition.  My adviser couldn’t really tell me what my chances are of being accepted, so I honestly have no clue.

Ok, going to waste my life on My Spanish Lab so that I don’t have to worry about other things going wrong in my life. At least I have Saturday’s game to look forward to. *sigh*

Going pretty well.  I don’t feel completely stressed out yet, which I hope means that I won’t this semester.  At least not too badly.

I really like my classes so far.  All of them.  And this has only happened once before.  I even like Spanish, which I was really pissed about taking when I found out English majors had to take a foreign language.  But the more I sit through this class and stumble through translating mi professora, the more I understand and the more my SML and high school Spanish returns.  Hopefully I’ll be able to not sound slightly challenged by the end of this semester.

(Sidenote: Z just walked out the front door on her way to the pool and she looked naked because she’s wearing a strapless top.  I should follow her just to see if she gets any looks O.o)

The mother lent me $250 for my bank account because the checks I deposited LAST TUESDAY (not this past Tuesday, but LAST Tuesday) have not been cleared and deposited into my account yet.  What kind of crap is this, Wachovia?  You just want to nickel and dime the shit out of your patron customers, don’t you?

Leaving for Oviedo and Orlando tomorrow.  I’m excited to be going, but not excited that I’m going to be even farther behind with my reading assignments.  However, the amounts of free food and stuff that I will be getting should make up for it all quite nicely :-)

Ok, enough procrastinating the Spanish homework.

And I have never felt more tired in my life.

Party was a huge success; people have been telling me that I should have parties like that more often minus all the food (lol).  But considering the first two people to arrive (early) were the last two to leave (7 hours 30 minutes later), I don’t think that’ll happen any time soon.  Maybe if it started earlier, I didn’t invite as many people, and there was no alcohol involved…

How do you tell a guy that you’ve known for 5 years but don’t really “know” that you’re interested in getting to know him better?  And what would be the best medium to use?  Fb message, e-mail, text, phone call, or what?  And what the hell would I say??  You know, as someone who feels like they’ve had a lot of experience in the guy department, I never know how to act or what to say to move things along.

Spent Sunday and Monday in Oviedo.  Got drunk with my mother on 2-4-1 margaritas at Chili’s.  My head felt like it was in a blender and I slept like a baby on the couch the second we got back to my grandmother’s.

Checked my bank account tonight when I got back.  I’m overdrawn.  And I can’t do anything about it until I get paid on the 15th.  It’s the 6th.  FML.  Good thing there’s a crapload of food in the apartment.

Ok, I’m exhausted.  Going to start reading a novel I should’ve finished last Tuesday until I fall asleep.

So I’m leaving for Chicago on Saturday.  I’m excited, but nervous that my carry-on will be too big and I’ll have to check it and everyone will get made at me :-/

Dan got placed for his vacarage at St. Luke’s Lutheran in Oviedo, FL, which is AWESOME!!!!!!!  AND he’ll be coming to Chicago to visit us next Friday-Saturday.

He told me this morning that he’s planning on proposing to Stacy before her birthday (5/23).  He’s planning on getting home on the 21st, and I’m leaving for NY on the 22nd, so this may be the only time I really get to spend with him.  If he can’t be home til the 22nd then I’m gonna miss the proposal.

I cleaned up around the apartment today.  Z, you now have one empty closet and one almost empty closet that has some of Lizzie’s stuff in it.  Sven has returned to his upright position with his bulbs back in place, and I vacuumed.

The real reason I’m writing is because I will be away from the internet for a week.  Don’t freak out, I’ll still be alive.  Just really busy.

I’ll write again soon!

I give up.  I can’t concentrate on this stupid essay, and if it weren’t 1/3 of my final exam grade, I wouldn’t bother.  I think I may have to pull an almost-all-nighter to finish this essay and be done with studying in time to take my exam at 8:30am.

On another note, Lizzie is leaving me and Nadirah tomorrow.  And Sven is coming to live in my apartment for the summer.

I leave for Chicago on Saturday.  Weird to think about, that I’ll be 1,000 miles from Gainesville in less than 5 days.  And I’ll be 1,400 miles away from Ft. Lauderdale in less than 4 weeks.

Man, I really need to find my passport if I’m gonna make it to Canadia!
