We have not had a chance to do our countdown activity this week. Unfortunately, the kids are leaving Saturday to go to the beach with my parents for Spring Break next week, so the activity will have to wait for a couple weeks. BUT....that does not make this post any less interesting. Why?
Well, I have BIG NEWS!
I am talking REALLY BIG NEWS!!!
REALLY, REALLY BIG NEWS!!!
Since you know I couldn't possibly just come out with the news...here is a little back story. You all know I work at a University. One of our History faculty members is a really good friend. She spoke with me at the start of this academic year about a cool idea she had for a summer class. She wanted to offer a class on how Disney has altered society's perception of historical events. Great idea, right? She and I got to geeking out, since she is almost as big a Disney fan as I am, about all the different topics she could cover, etc. Well, the school year went on, and she got busy, very busy. She has become a board member for a new school in Haiti, and had taken three trips down there. Her life has been insanely busy. I began to assume that she was going to postpone her summer class idea for another time. Well., yesterday she came to visit me in my office. Not only is she offering the class this summer, BUT also...
She has invited me to join them for an end of course trip to Disney...For FREE!!!
I am going to Disney TWICE this year!!!!!!! And this trip will be all expense paid by the University!!!
I will, of course, definitely be EARNING this trip. I have volunteered to do ALL of the planning (for a group of 9-10 adults). I will also help drive, and serve as a "chaparone" of sorts. But, do you want to know another SWEET part of the deal? It is a WORKING trip, so no vacation time has to be used. Yep! I spoke with my boss this morning, and got the okay. Folks, I am getting PAID to go to Disney!!! I am on CLOUD NINE!
She and I are to meet next week to figure out the duration of the trip. The planning is going to be a NIGHTMARE! I know that going into it. We have to wait until May to make sure enough students enroll in the course for it to actually "make". If less than five students enroll, it will be canceled. She has three students who have already committed, we just need two more. The trip will take place at the end of August. So, what this boils down to is that I will have just two months to plan this monster. Yeah, it is going to be a nightmare. I will need all the help I can get from you guys, for sure! But, all that being said...
I AM GOING TO DISNEY TWICE IN THE SAME YEAR!!!!!!!
