A whole lot of nothing.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. The semester is ending soon (Only one more week of classes!) which means last minute meetings for group projects and the beginning of preparation for finals. Easter was also last Sunday so I had Thursday-Monday off, thanks to Marquette being an awesome Jesuit university. :) I ended up spending a couple of days in Chicago with my Marquette friend, Sarah. We took the train down there Thursday morning and went to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field on Friday (My first time to the stadium!) where we nearly froze. We were going to go into the city Saturday but on our way to the Metra station we ended up getting stuck behind a train so we missed the one we were going to take and the next one wasn't for a couple of hours. And since I was leaving Saturday evening, we didn't have time to go. Despite that, it was still quite fun. Then I spent Easter Sunday up in Madison with my family before going back to Marquette on Monday.
Just a couple pictures from Wrigley. :)

It's so hard to believe that the semester is already almost over. It feels like just yesterday that it was January and the applications for Fall had just gone up and now the recruiting period is over and almost everyone has gotten a response. There were a ton of rejections in the facebook group this week (Plug for the facebook group. If you're a Fall/Fall Advantage CP and are not yet in the facebook group, join here and meet awesome people.) which was quite sad to see. Some incredibly awesome people who had been pending for 80+ days and who definitely deserved to get accepted did not. If any of them are reading this and are planning on reapplying in August for Spring, good luck and I know you'll get accepted. You're amazing. <3 :) It really seems like everything is happening so fast. The first Check-In date for Fall Advantage is May 18th. That's only about 3 weeks away! And to be honest, I'm a tad jealous I'm not going down then but I'm also glad I'm going to have the entire summer to get everything together before going down to Florida instead of less than a week after finishing finals. 

I also have found roommates!! I was extremely worried that I wouldn't be able to find any and I'd end up doing the roommate notification on the College Program website and that I'd end up with someone completely different from myself. I'm not a big partier and one of my biggest fears was that I'd end up with a roommate who was going to be throwing wild parties in our room, some underage CPs would come, and we'd end up getting termed. But my roommates appear to be awesome and I can't wait to meet them! It's such a relief to know who I'm going to be living with.

A little more about the roommate process.

  • You have the option of signing up for the roommate notification, where Disney can match you with one roommate before you go down so that you have an opportunity to get to know them. However, if you talk to them and realize it's not going to work out, you can opt out. 
  • If you find more than one roommate on your own before heading down, you can only be guaranteed one of them. If you know you want to live with 3 other people, your only real chance of living with them is if you get to check-in at the same time, stand together in line, and ask if you can all live together.
  • Your roommates must have the same check-in date as you. So if you're going down with a friend, make sure you both sign up for the same check-in date so that you can live together. 
I can't think of anything else to add right now, but hopefully I can update again soon. Although that might be difficult with finals the week after next. But we shall see.
