after check in, dana, cait, jaclyn, amanda, jess, and i all went to casting together. the casting building was so cool - michael graves designed it, and it was full of murals and cool little details. i found out my assignment - dinoland in animal kingdom. at first i was really disappointed that i didn't get hollywood studios, but i've really warmed up to the idea since. cait is working in dinoland too (but merch), and our hours will be really good, we'll always have nights off, and hey, i might get to work at dinosaur...i love that ride! i know any costume i have is going to be really horrible, but hey, aren't they all?
after casting we came back to patterson and started unpacking, and then we went to lunch at panera...mmm. and we already used our cast member discounts - sweet! at 3 we had our housing meeting in the big, freezing cold room at the commons...it was long, but some of it was fun/funny. after that we walked back to patterson and finished unpacking (mostly). we were going to go to the polynesian for dinner and to watch the fireworks, but the weather wasn't looking too wonderful, so we decided to go to the apartment of some of our friends for dinner instead - it was so awesome to finally meet everyone i've talked to online for so long, and everyone was so much fun. we ate and played some fun games, and then stopped by the pool for a little while.
all in all, yesterday was super busy and super exhausting, but a lot of fun. i can't wait for traditions tomorrow (even though we all got the morning one, meaning we have to catch the bus from chatham at SIX FORTY-FIVE AM!!!), and then my first day at DAK on saturday. today we rearranged our apartment a little, and then we're going grocery shopping and to walmart, etc. i'm really excited because friday after traditions, we're going to meet everyone in the parks for our first trip, and then we're going to jellyrolls that night! it should be lots of fun.
