Hurry Up & Wait

DCP – Day 1 – August 13, 2012

Everything about today was crazy.  And long.  And amazing.  I woke up wayyy too early.  5 AM to be exact.  My dad drove me to Vista Way and dropped me off so I could wait in the long check in line with my roomies. Hurry up and wait.  The check in wasn’t supposed to start until 9 but the line started moving at 7:30.  We were checked in and moved from line to line to fill out some paperwork and get our apartment.  Hurry up and wait.  We got the last two bedroom apartment in Patterson Court.  After we got out apartment, we had our housing IDs made and then we were sent outside to wait for the bus to take up to Casting.  Hurry up and wait.
We arrived at Casting after a short drive and had to wait for the all clear to enter the building.  Hurry up and wait.  Once we were inside, we were told where we would be working.  I’m working at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Animation/Sunset Boulevard!  That’s exactly where I wanted to be!
After we found out where we were working, we were sent on a maze of the Casting building going from one department to another to fill out more paperwork and all that fun stuff.  There was a lot of hurrying up and waiting going on here.  It took about two hours to go through everything.  We were fingerprinted and verified we existed with our social security cards and a bunch of other rather boring stuff.  After all that fun stuff was over, we were free to go to our apartment!
Patterson Court is the newer apartment couple about five/ten minutes from Disney.  Our apartment is really nice.  Except for the fact it’s on the third floor.  We got all of my stuff moved in and set up the way I wanted it.  There is a lot more room than I thought there would be so that is good.
Later, I went to dinner with Dad at Olive Garden before dropping him off at his hotel and heading back to my apartment.  My roommate, Abby, spent the night with her family so I have the room to myself.  My best friend, Rachael, came over earlier and we hung out and listened to country music. 

Overall, this first day has been pretty good.  I’m tired and ready for bed but I’m really excited to get this whole thing started!
