BOO TO YOU! | | |
| i miss new york.
i miss new york university.
who knew those words would ever be typed by andrew joseph deegan?
well i mean obviously i miss new york...but i really missed nyu today. I was talking to Leon online today and he was talking about Pat and Alex and Ryan and Broome Street. I was also invited to a new facebook group they started called 2 & 1/2 fags (and their Entourage). I miss all the guys from 711, and I really wanted to be back at broome street. Although I suppose I dont miss much of the academics of NYU...certainly not floydd hammock or pat juell and especially not fred greenleaf, it really hit me today that i wouldnt ever be living in a dorm again. I would never really be seeing those same kookie nyu kids all the time, walking down the halls, in the elevator, or at the dining hall. And I really missed nyu today.
More importantly though, I miss new york. I miss my friends. I miss my family. I hate Orlando. And I found out today soon I will be working six days a week again for basically the rest of the time I am here. So I will never have fun again and probably make no money since I will be scheduled six hour closing shifts with no overtime. It wont be that bad, but I am frustrated. I am feeling such a loss of direction here. I really feel like I should give a professioinal internship here a chance. I am here already and if I dont then did i really make the most of my time here? But also, I dont want to waste my time. I want to be with my friends and family. I want to find a job that I really enjoy. I want to go out to a hole-in-the-wall bar. I want to get drunk with anna and jessalynn and julia and maeve and katie and everyboday else. i want to make funny noises with cat in person and not on the phone while wasting hours of precious daytime minutes. i want to see Arjun and Leon and visit broome street. I want to see Liane. I want to see everyone. Will I even see everyone when I come back though? I know life has changed so much since I've been gone I'm not quite sure what I would be going back to.
Where am I going to work? Should I go home to connecticut for a bit? I miss my family a lot.
A couple of halloween parties are coming up soon. Tom Sawyer's Island of the Dead and a party for all the college program kids in Frontierland. That should be fun. I need to find a way to not be so crazy and stressed about my personal life. I need everyone else to stop making things complicated. Or maybe I need to do that too. I love Disney and I love some of the people I've met here. But I hate Disney and I can't stand a lot of the people here too. I'm conflicted and confused. Happy, for sure, but also wanting something. And missing everyone. Feeling completely comfortable and comepletely uncomfortable.
i need a vacation from this vacationland.
lots of love.
ps on the bright side i went on space mountain six times the other day before work. it rocked.

| - Question Mark (Que Vas A Hacer)The Magic Kingdom has become my new hell. 14 Hours of Big Thunder Mountain yesterday. Oh, Frontierland...
And I have still yet to see President Bush's speech in the Hall of Presidents.
What can you do when your love isn't true (isn't true)? What can you do when your love's not true? | | |
| Hello!
So I don't know if anyone even reads this anymore, but I started thinking that maybe I should write in it again, since I am so far away from everybody (the reason I started this in the first place). Also, I am in Walt Disney World, so something should be written about that. 
So I'm doing the Disney College Program, which means I get paid 6.25/hr to work in the Magic Kingdom on Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road in Frontierland until January 5. Its a pretty awesome job, with surprisingly a lot of responsibility. Pay as you can see is not all that great, but I get to live in a really nice place for cheap. And I've met some really cool people so far, so I think it will be a good time.
I have three roommates, one lives in my room. They are all really nice, and I like them. One of them seems to be drinking all of my gin though...which does not make Andy very happy. My apartment is huge, and so is my bathroom and closet. Unfortunately my bedroom isnt so big. Orlando is kinda crappy - full of wal-marts, McDonald's, and outlet malls. Disney property is really nice, but I live right outside - next to a Wal-Mart, Mcdonalds, and an outlet mall. It's really hot and humid here, and it's been pretty rainy too. I like it though. Its nice not ever worrying about it being too cool...although I suppose by this point its like that everywhere.
Working for Disney is kind of like working as a slave. They don't really pay you, and they work you like a dog. Rules are really strict too, but I still really like it. Something about being in the happiest place on earth. Lots of smiles. Lots of really happy people. Lots of riding Thunder Mountain!  Disney is also amazing and crazy. It is so interesting to see all that goes on behind the scenes. I love seeing Cinderella, Snow White, and Belle having lunch together. Security is nuts too. They really guard the magic - like Fort Knox! I could write much more....but they might find out and separate me from the program. 
So anyway I am really happy. It feels really good to finally get a new start on things. I am making my own decisions and doing the things I really want to do - not doing things because I feel like I should or because someone else says I should. This past semester and year really wore me down. Now I feel happy deep down inside again. Not that I didnt have an amazing senior year with the most amazing people I could ever know, but the fears of going down a path that I never really wanted to be on really got to me. Now I its all up to me. I can make the life I want for me. A whole new world....if you will.....
I miss everyone so much! We will talk soon! Muah! | | |
| Stressed.
That's really about it. Life is good, just stressful. Lots going on - in school and out. I student teach, go to class, and work on (or pretend to) massive amounts of homework. All this on top of my glamorous social life. Oh yeah, and sometimes I try sleeping.
Aside from the stress, I've got a lot of great things going for me. Living in Broome this year is great. I love my suitemates (and also my single) and I love that so many of my friends live in the building.
In addition, the love life is starting to look a little less barren. I'm not really sure whats up...but at least there are some options.
I'm feelin' good, man. | | |
