Chapter 4: Friend Like Me

55 Days.

I've come to one of those "so close, yet so far" times in my life. When I think of when I truly first started on this journey in 2007 to now, I am blown away by the time that has flown by. However, as the countdown inches closer to my departure date, I am growing increasingly impatient and excited for the adventure that awaits me.

About a week ago, I was introduced to the lovely lady I will be rooming with during my stay at Disney. We already had our first adventure together trying to figure out the DCP Roommate Matching System. The match was a true blessing. Meeting my roommate was the one thing I was most anxious about. Would she like me? Would we get along? Would we have anything in common?

I am happy to report that the answer to all of those questions is yes. First of all, she is a fellow Tennessean. She goes to the University of Tennessee at Martin. Our personalities clicked right away and we have quickly become friends. We both feel much less nervous about the moving in process, now that we know who will be sharing our space. Plans have already been put in place for epic Disney birthdays and spontaneous apartment performances. I am excited to get to know her better and have some amazing adventures as we go through the program!

We won't know how many other roommates we will have or who they will be until check in day at Disney. However, we are both excited about all the people we will soon be meeting and sharing new experiences with!
