Sending good thoughts to the Figs. Poor Rees. Hope they have a solution and a plan soon.
Thanks for the good thoughts for my co-worker's family.
I finally got my money back from the bank.
As always I totally recommend the
University of Central Florida. One of the reasons I ended up there was because out of state Florida tuition was cheaper then in state PA. Now in state PA is about $1000-$2000 cheaper a year. They have a good education program and music program, or music education program. I took programs in both of those departments.
They recently redid the education building, built an Education research center, have an on campus education school for I think kindergarten and below. The one thing they do different then most schools for education is they have two internships. The one is typically junior year and half day in the school teaching, other part taking about 2 classes. Other is Senior year, in which you have full day education internships.
As for the music department. I think they are currently redoing the building and building a new one. They have the unique distinction of being an all Steinway school. Meaning every piano on the campus is a Steinway.

They have outstanding faculty, when I was there they were lacking space. But to my knowledge that is in the process of being rectified.
It is a young school only founded in 1963. It is a large school and still growing, about 45,000 students, also Under Construction Forever. Not quite but they are currently in the process of many projects and new buildings. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Cassidy definitely sounds like me. I hate to practice on my own. Hence the reason I did not major in music. I did not want to spend my life in a practice room. Oh yeah plus she will be about 45 minutes from WDW.
Elizabeth- You will be happy to know that I have watched Nightmare and love it. I have been listening to the soundtrack for a week or 2 now in my car getting ready for Halloween.
All of you who are reading to catch up I did the same thing when I came back from my 2 week trip in September.
Jennifer- I would not worry about the Hurricanes, I am sure you will be fine. If there is a Hurricane WDW will take fantastic care of you. They have staff who are assigned to hurricane duty and take care of you and your needs. They rarely close the parks, if so its about a day and reopened.
Deb- great pictures, I have that Navy blue castle shirt. I bought it in the Character Premiere outlet in September for like $5 or $7

I also got a
DCL Transatlantic shirt for $7, as Transatlantic merchandise was 75% off.
Tom- Hope you can keep up with the demand.
Hope that made sense I am off to bed. I am working all day tomorrow. Friday I am ripping out wallpaper and other remodeling things at my Grandparents. I am leaving Friday evening to go camp in the rainy weekend and cold. It is supposed to get in the 30s at night. I know this is October but I have been spoiled.
Night hope your weeks are going well.
