20 Days

I decided to make a list of things I’m going to miss and will not miss while I’m down in Florida. I haven’t thought this through, just typing as I go. So, don’t expect it to be alphabetized. And a reminder, I’ll be down there from August 15th to (at least) January 6th.

I Will Not Miss:
• SNOW – As beautiful as it can be, I’m not going to miss it.
• CLASSES – I’m definitely someone who enjoys school and even though it’s an option, while I’m down there, I decided not to take any classes.
• LIVING @ MOM’S – Don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably end up missing aspects of it, but overall, I’m excited to get out on my own. When (and IF) I come home, I plan on getting my own apartment.
• WOOD STOVES – I love the smell of ours, but the process of getting the wood in the house is not my idea of fun. I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy for not missing that.
• PINE TREES – I’ve never liked them… Hello, palm trees!
• FAMILY DRAMA – Not that I’ll go into specifics but I’m sure some of you can relate to this. :P

I Will Miss:
• FAMILY & FRIENDS– Of course, I would hope this would be on anyone’s list. But more specifically, my niece and nephew. They’re so young and my favorite little people to see EVER! I hope they don’t forget who I am!
• HOLIDAYS – While holiday seasons at Disney should be super awesome, I’m going to miss a lot of family traditions. (Not to mention, gifts!)
• FALL – I love Fall. I love watching the trees change colors, going apple picking, frosts in the morning, visiting haunted houses, among other things. It’s my favorite season!
• HILLS – It’s so flat in FL!
• MY HOME CHURCH – I hope to find a church down in FL that I feel comfortable in, but I’m going to miss where I grew up!
• CCC ADMISSIONS – I’m going to miss working as a Student Ambassador here. And overall just miss this campus!

I’m sure there are plenty of other things I could think of, but I don’t want to get too emotional at work! I’m excited about leaving, but I will miss a lot of things.

As I count down my days until I leave… work days are getting longer, weeks are dragging out and the times I want to last forever (weekends) zoom right by! I’m beginning to realize all the things I’m going to miss even though I’m excited about all the new things I’ll experience. Patsy (my boss in Admissions) has asked me to write at least one blog to update everyone once I’m down there. I hope to do more than just one but we’ll see how it works out! *Like* this blog if you’d look forward to reading more about my experience down in Disney! If there are a significant amount of people reading these posts, I’ll do my best to schedule time to update you all. : )
