Graduation

On December 13th, we had our College Program Celebration party, where we got our ears, had dinner, and listened to important Disney people speak.
Actually getting our ears was very unceremonious. They just handed them to us as we waked into the party. No name, nothing. I want to go into a store in the Park and have them put my name on them.


 I didn't stay for the whole thing, because I honestly didn't have much interest for it. I didn't make very many friends during my time here, and the ones I did were mostly busy dancing with the ones they'd made. 

The best part about this program for me was the fact that I got to take a break from school while still doing something productive for my future. I still did a few classes and I had a job.I got some time to live on my own, which is something I'm striving for. Plus I earned the right to put Disney on my resume. How many people can say that?

I am going to miss the people I've met here: coworkers, friends, and roommates. I never would have thought that I'd be leaving here with a boyfriend with whom I'd be planning on maintaining a long-distance relationship. 
Josh is going to bring me home after my program ends so he can meet my family. I don't know if that's going to make our parting easier or more difficult. It doesn't really matter; it's going to be much harder than I ever thought it would be. 
It's not really goodbye, though. 

The next semester is going to be a challenge. My classes are all lined up, I've got a place to stay until I can figure out my next move, and I'm looking forward to what the future holds. 
This program has brought me a lot of experiences and memories. It's strange to think that they weren't all at Disneyland.
