Ok, now that my breath has been caught, here, for your viewing pleasure-

"Dear Corey:

Congratulations! We are pleased to offer you admission to Brigham Young University-Idaho. We look forward to having you on campus and feel that you will be an asset to this university.

The next step in our review process will be to determine your track assignment. BYU-Idaho students are assigned to a two-semester track for which they can enroll in classes. If you have not done so already, we invite you to provide additional information by completing a questionnaire at web.byui.edu/admissions/questionnaire/. Please complete this questionnaire within one week of receiving this letter.

The Three-Track System allows BYU-Idaho to admit thousands of students every year that would otherwise be denied due to lack of space and resources. Track assignments are made to create a balanced student body in which students and employees can benefit from a diverse, varied, and distinctive learning environment. For more information about the Three Track System, please visit www.byui.edu/admissions/tracksystem.htm.

Once again, congratulations on your acceptance to BYU-Idaho! Rich blessings and life-changing opportunities await you here.

Sincerely,

Admissions Committee

At The Moment....

Well Thanks A Million....

....CP recruiting peeps.

So I wake up this morning and have a missed call and a voicemail. I saw the 407 area code and thought at first it was Dave calling wondering why the heck I haven't fulfilled my seasonal obligations.

But nooooo, it was the Coordinator of Training at DHS wanting to know why I hadn't shown up for any training!!!!! I told him my arrival date had changed. Apparently the recruiter didn't let anyone know that. Le sigh...

But on the bright side, I know now I am working at Mama Melrose's Italian Restaurant at the Studios. Life is good!!!

Much love.

And By The Way...

....laptop is back.

Hallelujah!

Much love.

I Am Officially...

....addicted to and completely obsessed with the Beatles. That's all.

Much love.

So Here is My...

.....year in review since this is the last day of 2009.

Sorry for lack of bloggage this month. Laptop has been broken.

Anyways....

This year was definitely nuts. I mean, it was amazing and wonderful and thrilling but it was also hurtful and depressing and painful. Odd combo, I know, but true.

Most of my year was spent at Disney, the happiest place on earth. I had the time of my life at Disney, obviously. Let's do some chronological review-

Jan. 21- Got to Disney. Met my soon-to-be-ex roomie Anna. Moved into Chatham.

Jan. 23- Traditions. Went to Magic Kingdom.

Jan. 27- orientation at Saratoga Springs. Met the awesome Laura Manning.

Jan. 28- morning training courtesy of Bea at Artist's Palette. Ohhhh..... gahhhh....

Jan. 29- night training courtesy of Mark at Artist's Palette. Better than mornings...

Ok, here comes THE DAY... January 30. I met the amazing and wonderful Brandon Fegenbush. I can still remember that moment, duh...

February was kinda blurry for the first couple weeks- Anna and Taylor (good riddance to her) and Stephanie left (alcohol.... idiots). Third week of February though, I got my BoM from Brandon. That's when he and I became such good friends. Also met Shaun and Jordan (his housemates) and Elder Russell and Elder Miskell (the missionaries).

March 1- had Basics. Boring. Only saving grace was Brandon being there too. Met Ani Urbanski. Went to breaking the fast that night. Met Emmilie Buchanan (!!!!). Met Elicia Merwin. Met Mila Romo. Met Jennlyn Bishop. Met a host of other peeps too.

March 13 and 22- you fill in the blanks. Best days ever!

Of course, in this timeframe we all frequented the parks and water parks, worked together, and basically just had fun.

April 15- we aren't gonna go there. No no no no no no......

The rest of the program kinda was subpar. I had Katie Satterfield and Ani till June 6. Katie Bantz came to SSR and became my other half. All the fall peeps came in JUne- Steve, Jessica, Bri Bri, Hannah.... you know, them. Winkie. Went to Turf Club in May and rarely worked Artist's Palette afterward. Quite the relief. No Brandon equaled rather depressing work environment.

HALLELUJAH Emmilie stayed till the end. She helped me survive!!

Left August 7.

Came home, back to JCJC... blahhhh. Work at South Central Regional Medical Center. Love it.

And so there you go. My year in review. Kinda choppy but mehhh, it works.

Bring it on, 2010!!!

I Actually Forgot....

....what it feels like to be really really happy. Well, at the moment, I am really really happy.

No, I didn't get a letter from BYUI or anything like that today. So don't think that. It's more trivial but still meant a lot to me. I mentioned yesterday how badly I wanted Donny Osmond to win Dancing with the Stars this season. He's a celebrity I have adored my whole life (no thanks to my mother, but still), plus he's LDS, come on.

He won this season!!

I started crying. Seriously. I was that happy. I don't recall the last time I cried because I was happy. Oh yeah, I remember- the night I was baptized. Eight long months ago.

I told my mom those new email accounts and 100 votes would pay off. I even prayed, seriously. I felt like I should.

And now that I have shrieked myself hoarse and still have a few tears in my eyes, I am concluding this. I leave you with....



Much love.
