We Dream of Orlando

As the days keep ticking away, we are reminded that we have to move to Orlando. Chris found somewhere to live starting in May, as long as he has a job. We have been scouring monster and craigslist looking for a suitable position for him. There are a few that look promising, but there are no guarantees that the company feels the same way about Chris. Everything seems to be resisting against us.

Chris got into a car accident yesterday, and he got a ticket for it. This is just one more set back for us. We are supposed to be saving for our wedding, but we haven't been able to save a dime since Chris's hours were cut. We have even had to dip into our savings to cover everything, and this is just the frosting on the cake. We're not sure if the car is worth fixing even. I don't know how we're going to survive without a car now.

This also impedes Chris's job search because he can't go on interviews if he has no way to get there. It feels like the universe is punishing us for something, but we can't figure out what it is.

Besides that whole situation, I graduate on Saturday. I have one exam on Wednesday and a paper to write in Greek by then also. Lots of family and friends have said that they might come to graduation, which is exciting. Everyone can come to my apartment after graduation to hang out for a while afterwards, too, if they'd rather not sit through a lengthy and boring ceremony.

On an exciting note, I met a roommate of mine for the Disney program via email(which reminds me that I need to email her back). She seems really cool, and I think we will get along great. We are also working in the same position and possibly at the same park, which would be cool. I'm excited to get started on it because I feel that it is starting a new chapter of my life, and I cannot wait for all the possibilities it brings.

Our dreams of being in Orlando together seem farther away than usual. Financially, it is starting to feel more and more stupid, but this is what we want. Chris doesn't want to work for his uncle forever, and this is an opportunity for him to break free of that job. We're both a bit tired of all the stress of trying to do all of these new things at once, but we're trying to persevere. Well, here's to a new start and hoping that this accident is just a hiccup.
