It's finished. I've done it. I've eaten my last box of Macaroni & Cheese. And I bought a Jedi Robe. (The latter is very much a side note, and will be explained later in this post). But I'm seriously sitting here, with the last bowl of leftover mac&cheese that I will ever eat while in Florida. Okay, maybe this isn't as big of a deal as I'm making, but let's be honest- I couldn't really think of things to write about that started with the letter 'N'.
So on to my Star Wars robe. On Monday my friend and I went to Hollywood Studios to ride Toy Story Mania. It was awesome (not two hours waiting in line awesome- which is good because we got a fastpass), but the REAL highlight of my day was STAR TOURS. I've kind of become a little bit of a Star Wars fan while I've been down here. And when I say a little bit, I mean a lot bit. After my first time riding Star Tours, I came home and watched Star Wars for the rest of the weekend. Nerd! But anyway... I had been having a little bit of a problem each time I rode Star Tours: I couldn't get off the flipping Wookie Planet! Which is significant because everyone was like, "Yeah, there are like 54 scenarios you can get on Star Tours. It should be different each time you go!". Well guess what... the Wookies loved me (hence the reason I'm going to get a Wookie T-shirt). I wanted to go to Naboo or some other planet so bad! And on Monday... it finally happened! We got on and went to Tatooine! I was so happy... but also missed my Wookies just a little bit. After the ride, some lady was doing a survey and had a paper showing all of the different scenarios you can get. As it turns out, almost every time we had ridden, we had also visited some part of Naboo... figures.
That night we came back and rode Star Tours a couple more times. Then the moment finally came. I bought my Jedi robe (and a Star Wars T-shirt). I know you may think I'm a complete nerd, but I don't care. When I wear that robe.... it's like the force is laughing at you for laughing at me. Haha Ok, I may have stepped over the nerd line there. But when we walked out of the store, I put my robe on, the hood up, and my friend helped me tuck my arms into my sleeves. I totally looked like a Sith for sure, and I walked like that until my body temperature and ego couldn't take it any longer.
Yesterday was just magical. I had my CP Graduation! I got my diploma, Mickey graduation ears, and a really cool picture frame! I also got my picture taken with Graduation Mickey and Minnie. Yeah, that's right. But afterward, we went and got our names embroidered onto our hats (it's free for CP's) at Magic Kingdom. My three friends and I had our little graduation caps and watched Wishes (MK's firework show). It was so emotional! Not tears-wise, but just like "Hey, this isn't real life". I mean, of course it's real life, but this whole going to the parks every day thing and watching the shows and seeing the characters thing isn't going to last forever. And it hit me last night. I feel so lucky to be in this "Neverland" state of being right now. That was an awkward sentence, but you know what I mean. I'm seriously living the dream and making memories that will last a lifetime. I'm so extremely grateful for this experience and all that has come with it.
