My Disney College Program Experience Pt.3

Thu Jan 22, 2009, 6:42 PM
  • Mood: Happy Tears
  • Listening to: Nobody Puts the Baby in the Corner- by Fallout Boy
  • Reading: Words on the screen.
  • Watching: My computer monitor.
  • Playing: Nothing.
  • Eating: Pork Chops
  • Drinking: Kool-Aid.
Well it was fun, and the last two days there were the best. I spent time with my brother and sister and we got pictures with Sorcerer Mickey and everything. I'm too lazy to post the pic yet but it may go up soon, keep an eye out.

My brother and sister came to pick me up on my last couple of days in my program... after 4 or so months. I don't think I could spend too much time away from them at once... we're too close and I love them too much.

Even if money was tight we still had a great time... ate at the best restaurant in one of the parks, had a blast watching shows and riding rides and roller coasters. Of course there were a couple bumps in the road... my passes ran out, so I couldnt get them into Magic Kingdom before we left... but thats something to look forward to next time. We never went to Epcot either, so the fireworks will be something they might like at the end of the night.

I got them into Fantasmic as well... its pretty much a live actor show with water projections, fireworks, Mickey fighting dragon Maleficent, and all the Disney Characters... or many of them being present in the show at some point. The music is definitely top notch.

Rumor is theyre gonna phase it out... I wanna be there when they air the last show...

Let's see, what else? Well I miss all my new friends down there... I have their numbers but I dont call nobody no way so its probably up to me whether or not I'll talk to them again.

Now that I'm back home I'm working at McDonalds... surprisingly, I got a raise as soon as I stepped through the door... apparently my manager can afford that he's talking about training me for a managerial position even... but I'm not interested really, I'm no leader, I couldn't lead a shift. Honestly I just do my job until I leave and thats about it. I have a tendancy to earn my money because I dont like handouts... and I dont want to be the one getting laid off when the company hits a bump in the road.

I'm going back to Disney soon... plan to in the end of June maybe until mid July. Wanna see the Independence Day Fireworks. I'm bored again now that I'm backhome... nothings really changed except my dad hasnt been on my back about things lately... maybe he finally believes I can be responsible all by myself. Always a good thing.

Anyway, toodles, going to bed for work tomorrow.

My Disney College Experience Pt 2: Broke as a Joke

Seriously I have like, no money because of bills n other expenses. Rent takes half my paycheck in the first place an then on top of that I have 100 dollars worth of expenses to pay, so like, that leaves nothing for groceries or anything.

It's going to be rough these last two months... I can already tell.

Ugh, I don't know where to begin... getting down here was a hassle enough, a 10 hour drive to a cheap hotel... bugs were all over the curtains, and their breakfast was horrible. (9/2)

I was nervous all up until the next day when the program actually began. (9/3) They spent like the whole day gathering and sorting everyone's personal information... so the first day was made up of a lot of waiting and sitting in the heat.

(9/4) I realize me and my roommates are NOT a compatible match... we dont like the same music... 2 out of 3 of them are messy, and I dont like seeing peoples stuff lying around.We dont have any dissagreements but I cant say we "get along" either. It's awkward to say the least.

(9/5-9/8) It's like my third/ fourth day here and they havent sent anyone down to fix my internet after numerous calls from me to tech support. While my coworkers got service on the first day after the first call within the hour that they called. Is BS, no?

(9/9) I'm starting to get the hang of the bus routes and schedules... I just complete my first day of training and I'm now officially a part of the Disney World Cast (in Florida). The first few days were rough but today has gone pretty well... and you ant beat free access to their theme parks ;P.

I'm Sheltered and I Hate It.

  • Watching: My brother play Star Wars: Battlefront 2
I cant stand being cooped up in my house like this... all my friends (except a few who never have time to hang) Have left this place to go to college... I was too dumb to get anyones phone number or e-mail or nothin so I have lost contact with EVERYONE...

Anyone left here never has time to hang and is in High School or their parents are psychotic (speaking of one friend in general). I havent had a decent DnD in FOREVER and I wouldnt give to be able to do one with my buddies again... or go back in time for a bit back to high school and hang with the kids fomr the band on friday nights...

Man... I miss everyone...

The semester's almost over... ALREADY?!

Yeah, really. I'm surprised at how fast it went away. I've got final exams tomorrow and wednesday, and at the moment I'm writing out a 4-6 page essay for English Comp 1. I'm amazed at how easy my first year was... the real hard part about college for me was the actual applying and getting in. I hope it continues to be as simple as it has been, but I doubt this is going to be the case.

Either way, I'm probably going to get a real taste of life on my own come September. I'm heading down to Orlando Florida for a college internship program and I'll be staying with a roomate until January... hopefully the guys at Disney choose someone who I can deal well with and maybe who's in the same field of study I'm in.

I hear this program is a lot of fun... and I believe it... hell it's Disney World we're talkin about. I have to admit the thought of living on my own is a scary one. I hope I can manage though, and I know I'll have help... since I'm guaranteed a roomate according to the program.
