Wow I really don't know where this day went! I woke up at 7 to get ready for ushering and seeing the last performance of Hamlet, I took Madeleine and the puppy on some adventures, I took an hour nap, I helped my brother with his prom pictures, I ate dinner with my family and Mallory, and then we picked up Helen and Nancy and headed back to Mallory's for some Disney movie action. Really...I don't know where the day went.
Let me just say though, that out of all those things, really?! MY BROTHER IS A SENIOR! He's about to graduate!!! I feel so old!!!!!!!!! Why is everyone growing up so much? I just wanna have fun and have a summer without worrying about being old. Ewwwww.
But seriously, Mallory, Nancy, Helen, and I had an awesome time. We all really just wanted to chill and so we went and got some drank before going to watch Princess and the Frog and venting about our pet peeves lately and how we feel about everything. Mallory gets to leave it all so she basically just listened to us whine while being the lucky one who gets to leave! But we've decided that living in a house in Orlando together would be amazing and then we could all work at Disney together and live happily ever after!
So basically today was not bad because nothing traumatic happened and I didn't have to think about drama all day. We got to vent about it later, but it wasn't bad. And we all had an awesome time! I hope that I get to spend a TON of time with these girls before the summer starts!!!

why always me? (BEDA Day 15)
So...um....this day has sucked!!!
Before I get in to that though I would like to tell you how AMAZING last night was! I didn't have the best end to my school day starting with lab and ending with biology class. I just didn't have a good day and I don't know why. People have been bringing me down whether it be intentional or not and it just isn't making me happy lately.
Anyways so last night Anna Claire, Nancy and I went over to watch Mamma Mia and have some drank. It ended up being really REALLY fun just because it was a judge-free zone and we are crazy together. I ended up having some yummy drank and getting home to cuddle in my nice bigger bed.
This day was okay, but really....it wasn't. I just got the worst feelings, the worst attitude given to me, and I just can't handle it anymore. I don't like feeling like I'm worthless and that's all I'm being given. I just am getting negativity all around me and I feel like everyone is a high schooler again. I'm determined to surround myself with only people that make me feel safe and decent. *sigh*

lots of reunions!! (BEDA Day 14)
Well here I go! We're back to Disney today with a list of what exactly I get to do this summer!!
Not only am I already DYING to be back in Florida, but more and more reasons keep popping up of why I should be there all the time!! Let's start with the most logical reasons:
-I need to work. I need to save some of that money in the bank so I can have funds to move after college, keep paying for HP conferences and annual passes, and make sure that I survive through college.
-I need the experience with the company even more. With the end of college coming closer, I need to start making my mark with the Disney company so that I have somewhere to move on after I graduate.
-I have some meetings set up with stage managers in the Entertainment area to get an idea of what they do and how I can get there. I have more opportunities to learn from them than I do just SM-ing here at Auburn.
Here are some not so logical reasons of why I need to be in Florida ASAP:
-I miss it! Walt Disney World is my paradise [and Disneyland was wonderful too] and I need more of it so that I can be happy!
-I get to see literally EVERYONE this summer! Some friends just graduating [Mallory Porter will be there], some old friends from my program [my best friend, Brogan, Bethany, Melonie, Brianna, etc], and even some people I've just met throughout my time there [Ashley Bekerman, Pat, and more!] and the list just keeps expanding! I cannot WAIT to be back with people that will do anything and go anywhere with me! I want to experience this summer the way that a 21 year old Disney lover is supposed to experience it!
-I need to get out of Auburn. If I could feasibly do what I wanted, I'd be doing another college program and getting as far away from here as I possibly can. The prospect of getting through this last year and a half as just a Seasonal Cast Member is becoming less of an ideal situation and more of a hindrance on my spot in the company. I want to learn new things, meet new people, and try to get closer to my goal with the company.
Basically, these last few weeks are killing me, then I get a week of paradise, then back to hell for 5 weeks, then to paradise for another 5 or 6...someone save me! I just want to move down there now!!
I hope that this post was Disney enough for everyone and if you have any questions you'd like me to answer about my time at Disney just let me know!

*facepalm* (BEDA Day13)
Why am I so overdramatic? I'm taking a break from my Disney-themed week to tell you all that I make a huge deal out of nothing, I am overly sensitive, and I cry really easily. Oh, and I don't do well with confrontation. All of these qualities need to change if I even want to CONSIDER being a stage manager ever.
As well as my habits of being a procrastinator, jumping to conclusions, speaking out of turn, etc.
I take things to the extreme and I really don't mean to but it always happens. I need to just calm down.
After all of my self-created drama today I just want to get out of here and go to Florida, where I belong!! I want my Bri, my Disney, and my freedom. I want to leave and not come back. But I can't do that. I have to finish. I have 23 days until I get to see her and be rid of this place for a week. And then I'm back here to the old grind. Really, how am I going to make it through another 5 weeks of classes??? I shouldn't even be focused on that!!! I need to get through these last few weeks strong, confident, and drama-free. Oh and that's another thing. I could go all three of these weeks without ever seeing one male, and I think I would be much happier. Madeleine, Nancy, Emily, Jennie, Katie, Ace, Mallory...and many more....they've all just been such a comfort to me because somehow we girls understand each other. I thought that boys were better about that, but oh my gosh I was terribly wrong. They are even worse sometimes and I am sick of it.
At any rate, I'm waiting to get back to my paradise to see my friends, my life, and my castle!
So I guess I mentioned Disney, but I didn't mention much. Anything anyone wants to know about Disney because this is the week to ask!

early posts FTW! (BEDA Day 12)
Well I'm glad that I got a little bit of feedback about a post! Thanks to Malcolm and Madeleine for not only reading my post, but using the same list of 100 Disney movies and doing the same thing that I did with it! I have to show Madeleine quite a few Disney movies, and Malcolm definitely needs to borrow a couple, and we ALL need to see Tron, but other than that....SUCCESS!!!
Malcolm suggested that I give you my Top 10 Disney movies in my opinion. This is really hard for me to do, so I might have to do it by categories in my mind. This also requires that I use IMDB a lot right now. So that's why I'm starting this post at 10:08am!
My first category, of course, is princess movies. Are you ready, readers???
1) Beauty and the Beast (did you really have to wonder at all?)
2) Princess and the Frog (I can't help it, it was THAT cute!)
3) The Little Mermaid
4) Tangled
5) Aladdin
6) Enchanted
7) Cinderella
8) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
9) Sleeping Beauty
*for those of you who don't know, I kind of have a grudge against Aurora. Yes, she is one of the best singers. No, that doesn't mean I love her. Don't hate.
*did I miss anyone? Leave in the comments!
Alright, now I just need to go ahead and leave who my favorite princes are, just for funsies:
1) Eric
2) Aladdin
3) Naveen
4) Flynn
5) Beast/Adam
6) Edward (for the laugh factor, and uh...James Marsden? YES PLEASE!)
7) Phillip (he might actually be higher up because he is the first prince to fight for his princess)
8) Charming (he does nothing to deserve her, and vice versa)
9) Snow prince (he's such a small character that he doesn't have a name....AND he's a pedophile! No way!)
Now that my princess/girly obsession list is over with, let's try a Pixar list:
*remember that I am Dory and I forget a lot of things when making lists
1) Wall-E
2) Ratatouille
3) Finding Nemo
4) the Toy Story trilogy
5) UP
6) The Incredibles
7) Monsters, Inc.
8) Cars
9) A Bug's Life
*I know I'm missing a lot. Remind me which ones I missed, guys!!
Here we go....non-Pixar, non-princess animated movies:
1) 101 Dalamatians
2) The Lion King
3) Robin Hood
4) Pocahontas
5) Mulan
6) Fantasia/Fantasia 2000
7) Hercules
8) Oliver and Company
9) The Great Mouse Detective
10) Alice in Wonderland
And for the last category....non-animated Disney movies:
1) National Treasure series
2) Mary Poppins
3) George of the [freaking!!] Jungle
4) The Lizzie McGuire Movie (don't judge!!)
5) Hocus Pocus
6) Newsies
7) The Princess Diaries series
8) Heavyweights
9) Tuck Everlasting
10) The Parent Trap (both)
I also LOVE Disney channel original movies and disney channel in general. Basically, disney freak...sitting right here. Anything else you wanna know about me? Any other lists I need to make?? Leave it in the comments! Until then, have a magical day, ladies and gents!

good day! (BEDA Day 11)
Well hi! I'm Dory, and this is....
Just kidding, but I am in a great mood like Dory always is!
Other than my voice lesson being canceled I had a normal Monday and guess what....it didn't kill me!! I'm so glad that I finally had a good day that would normally be stressful for me because for once I am on top of my schoolwork and ready to have some 'me' time! I have a decently busy week ahead of me, but schoolwork is one thing that I will not have to focus on because I'm basically done with everything that I really need to do!
Okay, enough bragging to my blog and myself. I have laundry to change out and pajamas to put on, so what would you guys like me to tell you about? Anything? *cricket noise* Wow...you guys sure are an energetic crowd. *sigh*

happy day! (BEDA Day 10)
I've decided to give whoever reads this a happy blog post because I'm happy today and I've been a Debbie Downer for long enough!!
I actually had a wonderful day: I had done all of my homework yesterday so I got to enjoy my day. I got to exchange my twin bed to a full bed (with the help of my brother and sister) so I feel like a big girl now. :P I watched half of Tangled (and am finishing it now because I CAN) for the millionth time. I got to babysit the cutest girl ever, play with my sister's puppy, AND make my favorite kitty purr. Those things just can't be replaced with anything better. Today was a damn good day, and I didn't feel stressed for the first time in a really long time. Despite some drama that always seems to follow me, I am in a wonderful mood!
I also did another big kid thing: I filed for taxes for the first time ever! I'm getting a nice return (which will be put straight into savings) and I feel very accomplished.
In short, I am a happy girl. I am ready for the week (reading included, not just assignments!!) and I am still determined to finish this semester on top!
Don't forget to leave me comments about what you'd like me to talk about because my days are NOT that interesting!!
