Hey everyone! Long time no talk..yeah..sorry about that!
As everyone knows, I am a full time grad student on the trimester system. I am in full mental breakdown/panic mode because my final papers, projects and exams are all due in the next two weeks. However, I am trying to get all my work done by next Friday, because my birthday is on the 28 (sunday) and I do not want to be doing work on my bday
Anyhow, a few updates:
DBF and I removed the dining plan from our package, and that made our package paid in full. We have the credit of 257$ that we got saved in my savings account, and then we are going to add it back on before we go. We did this to make money a bit easier for DBF- he is in the process of buying the house he currently rents, our one year anniversary is this saturday and my bday is next sunday, so he needs all the money he can get to celebrate with me!!
We are okay with this, because we are having a yard sale in July before we go, so any money we get from that will go towards putting the dining plan back on. I am getting a bit nervous about having spending money though, as some of our meals will be out of our pocket. Money stinks, but I am saving all my birthday money and all my babysitting money and hoping to have about 700$ saved. Wow, sorry that was a lot of info in one paragraph. can you tell that I have been writing papers nonstop?
-The Bridal Shower Dilemma-
I decided to go to the Bridal shower, for just a few hours. i would take a taxi there and back, and leave after our dinner reservation at flying fish. This was all fine and dandy, until I talked to the Bride, who informed me that the Bridal shower is 40 miles- exactly- outside of disney world
I calculated how much a taxi would be to get there, which would be around 65$, not including traffic. So that makes $130 in taxi fare for the Bridal Shower. On top of all of that, we have to pay for a taxi to get to the rehersal dinner, and to and from the wedding. We're talking about 200$ in taxi fare here.
So, that being said, I have decided not to go to the Bridal Shower. I agree, that I should go as a bridesmaid, but seriously...I cannot afford the cost of a taxi! The bride said she wasn't able to bring me back and forth to any of it, which i completely understand. Thoughts on this, anyone? I was thinking of renting a car for those 4 days, which would be around 220$, but still...that's money we don't have!
Besides those two things, I am anxiously awaiting Mickey mail with my vouchers and whatnot. I am also enjoying the new ADR system they put into place online...I like fiddling around with the times of my ADR's at my own leisure, to see if better times come up.
Well, this may be the last you hear from me until next weekend. If i go MIA, assume my computer ate me, i went crazy and had a breakdown from so much work, or that I swore off the computer after spending so much time on it
