Hi, friends!

I just wanted to update everyone on how I’ve been since my DCP ended in January. So far, things have been running pretty smoothly. Of course, there are still obstacles I face daily— trying to get more hours at work as a part-time employee, for one. Also: the rain and cold just won’t let up in SoCal. Calling for more hours while bundling up for the cold have been my hobbies for the past couple of months.

My mental health has improved so much. I feel much more like myself again, and like I’m discovering new parts of myself daily.

I’m watching more Netflix and listening to more music. I sometimes forget that leisure time is important, too. I’m currently listening to The Strokes and watching One Day at a Time.

I started wearing prescription glasses daily. I’ve been getting so many compliments on the style. Thanks, everyone!

I drove to Glendale to visit Walt Disney Imagineering and oh my gosh the campus is so beautiful (no pictures allowed, unfortunately). I think I found my new dream work location, though…

I started volunteering with Disney’s Cast Member volunteer organization, VoluntEARS. I’m excited to help my local community in any way that I can!

I’ve written some news articles for Rainbow Caverns. Check them out! (Here, here, and here)

I’m visiting the parks again, meeting up with friends, and finding my place at work as a regular, non-college program Cast Member.

2019 has been great so far.
