I can't help myself...

...from writing in this blog! It's a way to get all the stuff in my head about Disney OUT. I know this really isn't about the college program, but it's about my journey. After all, isn't that what my blog is about?

To start it off, I'd like to tell you about a little tradition I have. Before any time my family takes a vacation to The World, me and my dad have a Disney movie marathon. We basically watch every Disney movie we have. This takes weeks and weeks, but it's a great way to control and build up your excitement at the same time! Anyway, it's incredibly fun.

So, as you could tell by my last couple posts, I have been in a ridiculous Disney mood lately. And that always means I'll be watching Disney movies. Anyway, I kind of decided that I'd start my own little Disney movie marathon before I leave on the biggest of all of my trips to WDW. Even if I don't get in, this will be a great way to pass the time.

(Sorry, this is a multi-component story) After making this conclusion, I turned on my laptop to check my email/facebook/etc, and I stumbled on Emily's blog. She had this great little checklist of 100+ Disney movies on it. It's one of those where you make an X if you've watched it, but it's even more awesome than that. Just watch and see!

And that's just the animated stuff!

Anyway, I thought this would be a pretty good list to go by as I'm doin' my movie marathon. Thanks Emily!

- In real life, non Disney news (what, there is such a thing?) I bought my books yesterday and have been skimming through them. I think this will be an interesting semester! Which is a good thing, because I have been dreadingggg it. I figured the CP stuff would be much more exciting, but I think I'm going to love my classes!

Have a good weekend, kiddos. :)
