Eeeee your plans have
me excited! Lol
We also stop in Georgia, as well! Valdosta I think is our usual. And we always get Zaxbys too hahaa it's so good omg I wish they had them in MI; however it is kinda fun only getting it on vacation, ya know?!
I'm also
not a spreadsheet person. I like the journal method, too. Have you heard of Bullet Journals? I'm assuming you have since you're into writing but here's a
link if you're interested
Now
I'm excited that
you're excited!!
I completely agree. Zaxby's, In-N-Out, and Dutch Bros. are three regional chains that I find myself always craving when I'm back home, but I know that they're special foods and it's nice to keep them special. I know with certain cases like In-N-Out, the reason we don't find them out east is because all the patties are made out west and they don't want to ship them to the east coast because they'd go bad. So I guess it's really good that we don't have some of our favorite vacation chains up here!
I was hyped to try Bullet Journaling about a year and a half ago. I found out about Bullet Journaling last January. I tried to do it during the semester, and it didn't work because I didn't have the time/resources to make it all pretty, and the system I tried to use was too hard to get the hang of. Also-- every Bullet Journal user I've ever met adds in these adorable pages where it's like "list of books to read" "list of my dreams" "pie chart of how much I spent on coffee this much" and I'm just not creative or artistic enough to do that
I tried it again for my August 2017 vacation and it was just "meh." I figured it would be easier because I wouldn't be writing down important dates to remember, I planned out a cute little key, and even drew out an elaborate cover page. I ended up doing pretty much what I do every time- the key had been forgotten about, and I was writing regular ol' bullet points by the second day of the vacation
TL;DR-- I admire anyone who can bullet journal successfully!
Love those outlets! Especially the cosmetics company store!
I am sure both the 16th and 17th will be full of lots of anticipation!!
Ooh, we didn't stop into the cosmetics company store this trip! But we did see that a Bath and Body Works was getting ready to debut-- I can't wait to visit them when it's finally open!
I'm already anticipating the anticipation of the 16. That's gonna be a really slow morning in class.
Disney spreadsheets are my fave.
Mine always end up just over the line of excessive.
My advice would be pick a color-coding system and stick to it! Having the cells on the spreadsheet be different colors for different things (i.e. ADR, FP+, EMH, etc.) really helps me visualize everything!
I feel your pain! This will be me in December!
It's got to be so nice to wake up and know you're that close!
You always have the nicest spreads!! I had one of your PTRs opened when I first tried to make a spreadsheet of this trip so that I could copy your key
I was really excited to color code but I have such a poor eye for choosing colors. I also think part of it for me is that I love having things I can hold in my hand, like planners, and spread sheets just don't do that for me?
My family wouldn't pay attention to spreadsheets, so they'd just be for me anyway. I'll just live vicariously through your spreads, since they always turn out nice and I like to go "ooh" and "ahh" at them
YEP. Like... it's fine. Everyone else will be getting ready for the trip and we'll just be sitting in class, struggling to stay awake through a cup of Starbucks that'll make us even more stir-crazy. We're fine. It's fine. This is fine.
I remember from one of your PTR updates that you were waiting on the Dec 2018 Exam schedule. I'm assuming that since you're all moved into your dorm now (with a tres chic castle mural!), you have it now-- how is it looking? Are you going to be taking an exam the morning you go home? Or are you going to move out the day after your last exam?
