Hang on to your hats and glasses - cuz this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!!!

Right now I should be writing a research paper on the rhetoric and ideologies of FDR. It's due in just over 24 hours and I haven't really even started. I mean, that's not really a new trend for me - I usually write papers the day before. And I have done some research, so I think I should be ready to start writing the actual paper in an hour or so.

But I just can't find the motivation. I graduate in just over a week, and this is one of the last assignments I have left. I have to give a speech, write this paper, and take my final. And then basta. No more college. Ok that's a lie...I have to write a large paper this summer to complete my requirements, but I just can't seem to bring myself to acknowledge that yet. I desperately want to be a part of the graduation hype, and as long as I still have work to do this summer, I can't!

I don't really know what to do about the whole classes aspect of the CP. I feel like there are definitely some interesting things I could learn from them, but the idea of taking more classes and having homework again after I've been so looking forward to being done makes me feel sick to my stomach. I've never been a big fan of school....how could I possibly go back when I've just finished?

I guess it's just something I'll have to figure out once August rolls around.

Non Disney Related Post

These last few days I've been planning a trip with my family to Florida in order to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Universal Orlando is actually offering a really great package deal that offers hotel accommodations, park tickets, a meal at the three broomsticks, a city walk pass, transportation, and best of all, early entrance to the park every day! Because the park will only have been open for about 2 months at that point, I have a feeling the early admission will be essential so I don't have to wait 3 hours in line for every ride.

I've also been hearing a lot of great things about the park. This is a review I read on the food: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/45398045.html#cutid1

All in all, I think it's going to be a simply magical experience and I can't wait!

Of course we'll be stopping at Disneyworld while we're there (we have vacation club points to spare...so why not?) and I just know I won't be able to get away without participating in the American Idol experience again.

So now I have three wonderful things to look forward to in August! Fiona's wedding, Harry Potter World, and DCP. Can the months go faster please?
