Continuing My Journey

As I have mentioned in previous posts, (or did I? I'm very forgetful), I applied to extend my program into the Spring 2015 semester. I heard back about my extension two days ago...and was ACCEPTED! I received an offer to extend into Merchandise (my top role for Fall but 4th for extending)! Today I have accepted that offer! Looks like Disney is stuck with me until May! (;

Happenings

There's been a lot going on that has been keeping me from updating both my blog and my vlog channel. First off, my iMovie decided to quit on me a couple weeks ago and I've been trying all different things in order to fix it without any luck. Secondly, I've been going through some health problems. Nothing too serious, but enough to where I've had to make doctor appointments and get tests and blood work done. We're still not sure what is going on and that's stressing me out even more.

On a better note, extension applications came out on October 6th and just closed yesterday on the 14th. I DID put in for an extension! My 5 requested roles were: 1. BBB 2. Character Attendant 3. Attractions 4. Merchandise 5. Vacation Planner. This was a weird decision for me because only 2 of those were originally high interested when I applied for the fall program. I'll hear about my extension anywhere from October 21st-29th. Fingers crossed!

Not Much Change

Every day still feels the same, but like I said before, I still enjoy it. Work is hard, work is stressful, but my coworkers make everything fun. They're truly the best. I started my Exploring Marketing class earlier this morning and I have my first Exploring Leadership class in a little over an hour. Marketing went well, I really like my teacher - who also teaches Leadership - but I just wish it wasn't at 08:30! Since the last time I wrote, nothing much has really happened. I injured my shoulder so I'm on light duty until further notice. That's not very fun at all. I apologize the quality of my blog is gradually decreasing. I feel as if I never have much to write about, yet I'm always busy. I'm just busy with the same things every day!

Over a Month

It has been over a month since check-in. That feels absolutely crazy to me. It feels like it has flown by, but it also feels like I've been down here for a lot longer. People are right when they say every day feels the same. Wake up, eat, get dressed, get on bus, work, get on bus home, eat, maybe hit a park for closing, eat, shower, sleep, repeat. It sounds boring and repetitive, but I still enjoy it. There's days where I don't want to go to work and just sleep all day, but at the end of the day, I'm always glad I worked. I still love my location and my coworkers and my hours are fantastic. I haven't done much out of the ordinary lately. I've stayed in the Disney bubble; I quite enjoy it. I went to Blizzard Beach for the first time ever on Thursday with a few of my flatmates and one's coworkers. It was a lot of fun for the whole hour we were there until we got rained (stormed) out. We booked my family's vacation last week! They're coming down in November and I could not be more excited! I LOVE it down here and never want to leave, but I can't wait to show them everything here!

Sorry this post was just full of rambling and sorry I don't post often anymore, I'm always too busy or too tired!

Trying to Keep Up

It feels as if I haven't posted in forever. All of my days here seem to be a blur. I can never remember what I did on which day and who I was with and which stories I tell to who. Every day is the same, yet different - if that makes sense... However, I still love it here! I go to the parks as much as possible and I'm still never bored. Sometimes I go with one friend, sometimes a group, and sometimes alone. I recommend trying the parks alone, you get to do whatever you want to do! My work schedule for the next two weeks is a little unfortunate. Even though my shifts are only six hours, I have to work eight days in a row starting tomorrow. It's also planned so I don't get overtime. I love work, but I need breaks as well. Hopefully I can pull through without stressing! I do have the best hours I could ask for! It's hard trying to keep up with a blog. I thought blogging would be really easy down here since it doesn't take as long. I've focused more on my YouTube channel, yes, I have a YouTube channel. I've been vlogging since I applied for the DCP and fell in love. If you want to see my journey instead of reading about it, you can click here. I focus way more on my YouTube channel than I do my blog.

Phone Interview: Round Two!

I had my phone interview for spring this morning! I think it went super well, especially compared to my interview for fall! I honestly don't know how I'm here right now, I thought I did awful! Haha! The interviews this time around seem to be a lot different. They don't ask for your top roles, they ask what you think you're most qualified for. I said quick-service and retail sales clerk! I believe I put no interest for quick-service though just because I want to experience more! I made it quite obvious retail was my first choice, haha. I didn't put interest in very many roles, I was very picky this time around! I was told I would hear by the end of October, so fingers crossed!

Last Minute Decisions...

I made quite the quick decision a couple of days ago. If you follow my social media, you know what the decision is already. I decided to apply for the DCP in Disneyland for the Spring Advantage 2015 season. I wasn't going to apply until after I graduated, but I saw apps had dropped and it just happened. I was almost immediately offered a WBI but was able to make a call the next morning to surpass it because I'm a current Cast Member. My phone interview is Tuesday the 26th! Wish me luck!

I have Monday and Tuesday off this week and then I officially start my job at Pizzafari! My assessment was moved to Wednesday, so fingers crossed that I pass and I get to remove that little red ribbon from my name tag!

It's been really hard to keep up with things since my schedule is still crazy. Hopefully this week it will start to settle down and I'll get a routine going. I really have to do laundry, I've been putting it off for so long! I also have to apply for an early release from housing because of school and then go to AK Costuming to get the correct hat for my uniform! We also STILL haven't gotten an apartment check list and we've been here almost three weeks...oops!
