Here's the story so far,
I don't know why... but for some reason I got accepted into the Disney College Program. I live approximately 2 miles north of the park at 180 Center Street Promenade. Anaheim, CA. 92805 Apt. 408
(Sat. Jan 16) I flew alone for the first time to get here! Very exciting, very nervous. A man named Mike Davis of the Orange County Sovereign Grace Church picked me up at the John Wayne Orange County Airport. That night I went to their church which meets Saturday nights at 6:30. The family I stayed with (the Davis') are an amazing family. Incredibly hospitable!!! Mike Davis (the father) gave me a history lesson of California then went online and showed me the bus routes of orange county.
I live with 4 other guys in a super nice apartment. All my roommates are really cool. They're from Chicago, Texas and China. One of which I haven't met yet.
We can see DisneyLand from our apartment. every weekend night they have fireworks which we will be able to see from our window. But tonight there is too much rain - so no fireworks :(
Apparently this week there is supposed to be a ton of rain, like 8 inches. Hey as long as it's still in the 60's and 70's, rain is no problem for me!
I took the bus today to wal mart to pick up some essential items with 2 Phillipino kids I met in the disney program. Check this out - We pushed our shopping cart as far as we could in the parking lot in the direction of our bus stop. As soon as we reached the end perimeter of wal-mart the wheels on this "normal looking" shopping cart locked up. There is actually a device on all the shopping carts that makes the wheels literally "lock" when you try to push them past the limits of wal-mart. So all three of us were shoving this shopping cart with all our might and couldn't get it to budge past at the particular spot of the parking lot.
Everyone back in Akron said that California is SUPER fast paced and that I won't be able to keep up with the speed of things out here. But so far everything is very chill. Not fast paced at all. Nothing like new york city or anything. People are nice and pleasant (well especially around disney). People like answering questions and are very helpful.
Very grateful to God for this experience.
I don't start my job until next week. This week will be all training and orientation.
I'm going food shopping tomorrow (I'm starving). haha
Any ideas on good cheap bulk foods?

Dude Brian - I'm really excited for you! Sounds like a great opportunity, and a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI've been living on cheap bulk foods for half a year now, and I recommend cottage cheese, chili mac, broccoli, green peppers, and if you're into some cooking, boneless skinless chicken breasts, marinated with a packet of taco seasoning and cooked in a frying pan. MMM.
Keep the updates coming! God bless. Pure Boss forever.
