To me a bedroom is a sacred place especially if you share it. If anyone is going on September 1st and under 21 and fits my roommate part please contact me!

Also no info on deferring the loans yet, school has not gotten back to me.

Please God, help me.

I went to defer my scholarships today and my school isn't sure they can do that because I wont be earning 6 credits at Disney and even if I took Disney classes they are not sure how to transfer the credits or if they would be worth the same. They let Brianne go last year... they deferred hers... but apparently now its on a "case by case" basis because no one usually goes. So wait... the college is going to ruin my dream? I thought I was going to college so I could be better off and live my dreams. I've worked so hard for this and they are going to "discuss the issue". I hope they know they will crush me if I can't go. They will sentence me to death here. Please God answer my prayers.

I just got off the phone...

Apparently the Fall Advantage is full up and they where asking if I wanted to do fall! I said yes I was going to ask to change it anyway because I just found out that I had classes through may and maybe the 1st week of June. He said "That answers that question!" and told me to look for an offer in the mail and said...
Congratulations!

I am so excited! I assume this means I'm in! Not sure what role yet but I CAN'T WAIT!

Now for housing... Vista Way or Catham?

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Researching

I have been looking around and researching about housing and I think I like Catham best. Its got less parties and noise then Vista but inst as expensive as Patterson. I think sleep will be the most important factor in surviving long hours.

I'm thinking I will pack 1 suitcase and a backpack. All I need is clothes really, and bathroom things. So I think I can take a jetblue flight (best airline ever).

I really hope I am accepted. I have been working toward an opportunity like this my whole life and I can't believe I made it to the interview even! I'm still in a state of bliss and reading everyone elses blogs.

I hope I get followers soon, I would really like to talk about Disney.

Application Process

So I heard about the Disney College Program while looking at gap year options for a friend. My mother found the DCP and showed me it. My heart was set on it and I wanted to be in it. I took my time learning about it and heard that an Alumni would be presenting at my school so I went. Her name is Bree and she is a former Character Attendant. I knew that I wanted to go to Disney more then ever.

I have been living at home because I can't afford to pay to live at college. I am getting sick of my parents and in the winter we are all at eachothers necks. I think I would benifit greatly from the DCP because THERE IS NO SNOW! And I'LL BE BUSY AND NOT BORED! Also college doesnt seem to be for me... The kids are too rich and pompous to talk to me and very close minded.

Well I filled out the application using safari instead of internet explorer. BAD IDEA. I kept getting a glitch telling me "You did not fill out all the answers" Even though I had. Then came the worst part "Were sorry..." I had FAILED.

I called up the recruiting offices and explained my problem. They where SO SO SO NICE! They listened and reset my application process because I didn't have access to IE. I went to school and took it again and it said I was a "Strong Candidate"! I almost screamed in the computer lab!

The next thing I knew I was home making an appointment for a phone interview. The closest they had was the next week at 11pm. I took it.

The interview went well, I wanted to be a Fairy Godmother in Training but Custodial sounds nice too, or Quick food service. They all sounded fun and I will do anything for a chance to work there and I will do my best at whatever job I get!

Now is the waiting game! I am eagerly checking my mail and email everyday and I am in a blissful state of accomplishment, proud that I even made it this far.
