I didn't do a great job documenting my journey during my first program. Sure, I took pictures and posted them on Facebook, but I couldn't tell you any of those great and funny stories I was SURE I wouldn't forget. Oh well, maybe in the next life we will have better memories. :)
Getting to where I am now was not easy. This last semester was the hardest I've had. Not because I was taking particularly hard classes, worked a lot, or had a ton of homework, but because I had a weird feeling the ENTIRE semester! Seriously! I was sad often, mad about little things, never felt like I had enough energy, was frustrated because I wasn't losing any weight despite taking three athletic classes, and my dating life was about as great as it is now (nonexistent). I think a lot of my issues stemmed from my lack of energy, which I've finally solved! I finally found out I'm lactose intolerant and have very little enzymes to break down many other types of sugars. Unfortunately, because I couldn't digest anything, I was not getting any nutrients from my food! So I was very malnourished, though I didn't look it. Since I've been taking vitamins, I've feel 1000000000000000% better! I've also tried to eat very healthy and with fresh ingredients. :)
Anyway, so last semester I had this plan to get a Professional Internship at Disneyland. I'd already applied for one before and had no luck. I figured because I was graduating this time I would have better luck. Did I? .....no. I applied for 2 of them and did not get either of them. When I got my "No Longer in Consideration" email I was incredibly upset. I wasn't sure why my plan was not working out. I thought I had prepared and did everything I was supposed to to get this internship! Alas, it was not to be. I called my mom and cried on the phone like I do. After wallowing in my sorrows for a little while, I had a feeling I needed to apply for the Disney College Program and go to Disneyland. I figured this would be a great way to get my foot in the door, allow me to network, and see if I actually want to continue working with Disney. On September 30, I got my acceptance email! I was on a plane landing at the Chicago O'Hare airport and was crying tears of joy next to some cute little old people. I hoped they didn't notice me. :)
So the waiting game began, I started saving (the program in Disneyland is MUCH more expensive than Walt Disney World). I was accepted to Attractions again, which made me incredibly excited! I found some awesome girls to live with when I get to California, and I can't wait.
I leave on Friday, which is in 2 days, to start the drive to California. The weather across the US has been kind of crazy! Snow storms, freezing rain, sleet, hail, frozen fog, all over the place. My dad and I were a little weary about the weather so we planned on leaving on Friday instead of Saturday. It'll be a fun little vacation for daddy and I.
I'll try my best to update this as often as possible, but I may be a little preoccupied with the parks because they are so close. :)
Wish me luck!!
