I'm Going to Disneyworld!

And they really do too! For those of us that watched the Superbowl 40 (mainly for the commercials and hideously bad half-time show) this line is from the farmiliar Disney advertisment that aired during the game, showing players on the winning team declaring their pilgrimage plans for Disneyworld right after winning the big game. I didn't think that they always did, but they must because they were here today! I went to Epcot and the Magic Kingdom today with my friends Holly A., Ryan N., and Joe R. to play in the parks. When we entered the Magic Kingdom everyone was waiting for the parade start, except before the parade today was a special pre-parade for the Superbowl MVP and the other guy. We watched as red, white and blue streamer cannons burst open and a marching band came down Mainstreet, USA. All of the farmiliar Disney characters were there, but in their sporting attire. Then, with hundreds of Steeler fans screaming at the tops of their lungs, down rode the three players and their families in true Disney style. Such an exciting thing to see and I'm glad that I was able to be a part of it.

So, anyway, that was the most exciting event of today. I spent the entire rest of the day playing in teh parks and riding all the fun rides, thanks to my Brazillian friends for giving me fastpasses. That made the day so much nicer...

I met my new roommate today. His name is Mike and I sort of already knew him from around. I'm glad it was him though because it's someone that I know and will be able to trust. I was very worried that I might get some kleptomaniac or something. This is my first roommate experience, being down here, so all of this is new to me. Coming from a private room in college to a four person apartment in Orlando, Florida is quite a change. But I've been very lucky and very fortunate with the roommates I have. I get along well with all of them, as they do with me, and we're friends too, which makes it even easier. However I do miss my ex-roommate Yago, who left this past Thursday due to the ending of his program. The International program has been winding down, so my Brazillian friends have been leaving for the past three weeks and will all be gone by this Friday. My remaining Brazillian roommate, Fernando, leaves this Friday. Very sad. When Yago left the apartment was very empty. But now things are all coming back around and I'm making American friends. Everyone is nice and awesome here, so friends are easy to come by, I'm thankful for that. But I wish Yago and Theresa teh best. They flew to NYC on Friday for a week in the city before heading back to their home country. I hope they enjoy it and have the best time, as I'm sure that they will.

I think this is all I'll post for now. I want to thank my readers out there, my friends who care enough about me to read about my life and see how I'm doing. I love to hear that you're reading my blog and what you think, so send me a message sometime. I wish you all the best and I'll write again soon!
