There was singing, dancing, and almost fainting.

Alright. Time to update my blog!

There's been some fun stuff going on lately so I'll tell you everything I can.

This past Friday and Saturday, Disney filmed the Christmas Parade and performances. I only had the chance to go to Friday's filming but it was still nice. I got to put on my new Mickey Christmas shirt and my Minnie santa hat. Florida, Texas guy, my Texas roomie and her co-worker New Zealand all went to watch the show. When we got there, we were led to the stage for the performances. The first singer was Cee Lo Green. (I'm not sure how many of you will know who he is but he's the guy from Gnarls Barkley. Also the guy from the Sprite commercial with the beat-boxing baby) Anyway, we watched him perform and enjoyed as much as we could. However, there was a huge girl that must have been at least 6 feet tall standing right in front of me so there was no view for me....

After that, they said the next performer would be out at 1:30. That got a lot of people to leave. We scooted up but I started to feel a little dizzy. I knelt down so I wouldn't stumble. However, every time I stood up, I would get dizzy again and my vision would get a little white. Like the light was all I could see. So finally, I decided that I needed some space. By this time, Texas guy had left and it was just us four girls. Anyway, by the time I decided to work my way through the crowd, my vision had gone completely white. I couldn't see a single thing and I was very weak on my feet. A stranger (whose face I never got to see) offered me some help and led me through the crowd. They found another cast member to watch over me and get me some water. After sitting down for some time, my vision came back and the water helped me regain a composed feeling. I took off my hat and let the breeze cool me down. I had almost fainted. I think it was from a lack of water and a good amount of heat from the sun and the crowd that surrounded me. 

Either way, I took some time in the back of the audience and cooled off, feeling much better. Jennifer Hudson was the final performer and she was great! She wore a beautiful dress and sang beautiful songs. After that, Texas and New Zealand had to leave. Florida and I stayed and got something to eat. We then wandered the park a little, picking up some of the last presents we needed. That was really all of the excitement we had from that day.

Then on Monday, the College Program held a Winter Formal for all of the college kids! It was a jungle theme and so the characters from the jungle were all there. We met Timon, Rafiki, and the three hyenas from Lion King. We also met Baloo, Mowgli, and King Louie from the Jungle. Terk, Jane, and Tarzan were there as well. Safari Minne and Mickey were the biggest crowd pleasers though. Minnesota, her man, Florida, and I all went together. There are pictures on Facebook for those who want to see. There wasn't much dancing done but that's cause I didn't really have anyone to dance with. Besides not going out on the dance floor, the night was full of laughter, good company, and lots of fun!

I have less than a month until this part of the program is over and I start my extension portion. So we'll see what adventures happen before the change over. This blog will continue from one portion to the next so the stories will continue.
