T'ear'ful goodbyes
















not saying much here, but it is 4:46am and i havent really slept since wednesday morning--(two hours wednesdaynight, nothing since then!) I've had a truly amazing summer, and in about five hours i will be on a plane back to reality. it's gunna be tough to leave all these friends and memories behind. The past couple of days have been crazy busy and are kind of a blur-- yesterday was graduation so we woke up really early (slash didnt go to bed, silly us) and Giuli's dad picked us up to drive us to pick up our final paycheques at partners. So glad he drove us, cause we got in and out of there really quickly, unlike the masses of people who went on the bus. From there we went to Epcot for Graduation. there was some confusion on that bus-- we wanted to take the regular epcot bus and the driver tried to make us get off because it was nearly full. we stood our ground, even when he tried to convince us that graduation had been moved last minute. graduation was packed with familiar faces, and was a great way to say goodbye. we got our grad cap mickey ears, stood in a crazy long line to take our pics with graduation mickey, ate ice cream bar, said hello to roger and sue (the people that hired us from our canada interviews) and them took off around the world one last time, stopping to shop a bit in mexico, get our picture taken with mexico donald, a very familiar snow white, belle, and got bread (of course) in france. Then we took a couple of photopass pics near spaceship earth in our ears, and alison went into her two work locations to say some goodbyes.




we monorailed it over to Magic Kingdom, watched Disney dreams come true parade one last time (and cried) dropped off our hats to have our names embroidered, and wandered around. It was a bit of a sad day (obviously) and tempers were a little high. we took lots of pictures, wandered main street, and went on a few rides, then we went to dinner at Crystal palace with tigger, pooh, piglet and eeyore. Giuli's sister brenda came with us. It was great to be on the other side of a character dinner. From there we ran out to watch spectromagic and then wishes (and cried) and then shopped a bit on mainstreet. we ended up being just about the last people to leave, staying as long as we possibly could inside the park. it was really hard to say goodbye to the castle. We monorailed back to the ttc and took the cast bus home, then attempted to pack a bit more (i'm still not packed yet :P) and i signed a t-shirt for sam with about a million signatures. I'm upset to leave, but i have had truly the experience of my life.
