A Zebra In The Morning - Pre-Trip Report- Link to TR

[PopArtGal]

I sent a lot of information and class records and stuff and spent around 300$ lol

 

[PopArtGal]

Let's just say that I know what I'm getting for my birthday. I just ordered it lol Well it's partly a gift from me, and another part from my parents lol

I've been trying, trying, trying to catch up on the DIS! I missed a few comments...

In other news, I'll be 28 next month and trying to plan what I should do to celebrate it, but have no idea?

Any suggestions other than going to a restaurant? hehe

We loved Tangled! It was so cute. When it comes out we'll be buying it! If the Rapunzel/Flynn meet & greet has a decent line next month I'll be visiting!

As for the birthday, hmm....rent a hotel room, pack a bunch of friends in there and party!

Just made a decision.

When I finish my second bachelor degree (hopefully in 3 years or before hehe) I'm going to Disneyland!

That is a GREAT decision! We hope to visit in 2013.

Question: Bounceback offer.

Do they have dates that can't be booked with these discounts? We'd like to go from Dec 24 to Jan 2

No idea, but I'm guessing those days will be blacked out for any sort of discounts. We hve been tossing around a NYE trip as well. Not sure if it will happen, but we will see. There are quite a few DISers going on then! Big DIS Meet on the Poly lawn for NYE fireworks.

Well guys, today brought 1 good news, and 1 bad news.

Bad news first. And I'm really upset. Well one or more students stole my mini ipod. I always bring my mini ipod and plug it into the radio. I stopped the music at 10:33. Told the kids to clean up. The bell rang at 10:40. I made sure all the tables were clean and when I came back it was gone. We looked and never found it.

Good news. I received a letter from the Florida department of education and I'm eligible to teach woohoo

That is HORRIBLE about your iPod! Have you tried to look at any for sale on eBay or second-hand? I like Tim's comment about how he hopes your iPod breaks!

Wonderful news on the Florida DOE! Are you going to start applying?

Let's just say that I know what I'm getting for my birthday. I just ordered it lol Well it's partly a gift from me, and another part from my parents lol

An iPod? Share, share!

 

[PopArtGal]

Yes I'm looking at schools I can apply to.

I ordered an ipod touch from apple so it's engraved with my name. Plus the new ipod touch as a technology in it that let's you locate it. How awesome is that. My parents are paying part of it, and me too. I've been wanting a new ipod for years but never justified the expensive since my 2005 mini ipod was still working great. I still wished I had to buy a new one 'cause the last one wasn't working anymore.

I also love Tim's comment, but I'm pretty sure the ipod is in the garbage somewhere.

 

[PopArtGal]

Oh and look at my ticker. Only 3 days before I can make ADRs hehe

 

[brookelizabeth]

Was today ADR day? What did you get?

The technology to have you locate it is very cool. We have it on Joe's iPad and on my iPhone.

Glad you are getting a new one. They are so handy. I really enjoy my iPhone more than I ever thought I would. The apps are incredible. I use it for everything from meal planning and grocery shopping to Disney planning!

You think the kids just threw your old one away? I would think they would either use it as their own to show off to their friends or attempt to sell it.

I have been trying since yesterday do get ADRs but it won't allow me to do so on the website. I don't wanna call. It's such a hassle to call and my sure the person gets the right time.

 

[PopArtGal]

At this point, I don't know what they did with the old ipod. I am trying to forget about it in a way. It does shatter my trust in THAT group though. I'm seeing them today. I am trying not to be mean with them. But again, I'm human lol

 

[PopArtGal]

Now the ADRs seem to work. Maybe I was too early?

It started working at 6am

That is totally understandable. I would be the same way-it would be hard not to be harsher with them!

I have one! I SUCK at answering my phone though. I almost always have it on buzz and miss it. I have yet to try Facetime, have you done it yet? I saw a gal in the airport doing it back in November and it was kinda neat, but also bizarre!
