Packing

Alright, I promised myself that I wouldn't write about stuff like this, but I figured since it's my blog and I warned you in the Welcome section that I don't know what to talk about then it is alright for me to do it. Today I am going shopping for the last bit of t-shirts that I will get before I head down to Florida.

I am use to Michigan weather and even in the Summer, I can wear shirts with tank tops or other shirts underneath. Well, in Florida, the weather there is a whole different beast. It's a high of 65 here today and it's almost 85 in Florida. I also have to prepare for the humidity.

I also have to scout out a few business attire outfits. I plan on taking a few Disney classes while I am down there, and you must wear business attire to the classes. I need a few more blouses and so I will probably going to New York and Company for those. I love their selection on business attire and they are very affordable.

The reason I have chosen to put this section in my blog is not just to talk about shirts and weather, but I have also included a list of what someone might need when they go down. I kind of wanted this blog to be a good reference for people in some far out future to find and help prepare them for the college program.

As I count down the days, I also scout out boxes to ship things down to Florida. I plan on shipping a Television (only because my mom did not like my idea of carrying it on the plane with me. I wonder why?), bedding set, and some room decorations (note - Disney Apartments do not want you to put up anything on the walls. There are a few exceptions). I have heard of a lot of people shipping things down for the program and sending it to their hotels or to the apartments, so I will give everyone some more information later on about it. I plan on shipping it to my hotel.
