Day #7 of waiting

It has been one whole week since my interview.  From what I can tell, it looks like no one was accepted today.  So the wait continues.  I really hope that we find out soon.  I really don’t like waiting… I can do it but I just don’t really like doing it. 

Now I am watching Beauty and the Beast.  I love Disney movies.  I can’t wait until the day when I can go to a magical place everyday.  Instead I am stuck watching movies about magical things.  I am just getting by and trying to make the best of everything. 

That is all for now I guess.  I don’t really have much else to write right now.

Day #6 of waiting

Yesterday people found out that they are going to be going to Florida this upcoming fall.  There are many of us who don’t know yet.  I really hope that I get to find out soon.  I think there may be a batch of letters going to be sent out tomorrow and I really hope mine is in there.  But I will not be too disappointed if that is not the case.  It is just wishful thinking.  All I can do is wait and hope hear soon. 

In the mean time I am going to continue searching for a job to help me pay my bills and everything.  I will also continue to watch more and more Disney movies.  I am killing time watching Degrassi and Disney movies.  It is exciting.

Day #5 of waiting

Holy Cow!! People are already finding out if they got in to the Disney College Program.  Before I saw that I was doing well, now I am pretty nervous.  I will try my hardest to not obsessively check my email.  The last time I was waiting I was constantly checking and worried, but I am going to try really hard to not do that. 

Congrats to those who have been accepted and I am sending and thinking purple thoughts for myself and for everyone else that hasn’t found out yet.  The application has only been open for 10 days and there are already people who have been accepted.  This is insanity. 

I found something that helps to pass the time it is called Sporcle.com it is awesome.  It is quizzes and games and if you search Disney World or Disneyland you can do quizzes on the parks or on characters or anything else Disney.  It is cool.

So I hope I get in and I will let everyone know as soon as I know!!

Day #4 of waiting

Yay for waiting, day number 4 has come and is only half way over.  Usually I write before the day has even occurred, at like 1 am or so.  Today though I was watching The 10th Kingdom at 1 am, as I think I will be tonight as well.  I love that show/movie/mini series thing.  It is, for those that don’t know, a show about fairytales, princesses, and gypsies, and everything else you can possibly think of.  There are trolls and wolves and magic mirrors and huntsman.  It is basically all the fairytales put together, with Cinderella, Snow White, and the evil Step Mother Witch.  It is a great show, the only downside to it is that it is 6+ hours long.  I love it regardless.  It is an amazing show you should watch it if you get the chance. 

My sister is apparently just discovering that I am a weirdo.  Or at least she is pretending to just figure it out.  She thinks I am crazy and strange and a whole bunch of other things.  She is the crazy one I believe.  I know I am weird but she is crazy…  Just kidding.  I love my sister she is just a pain sometimes and that sometimes is actually more often then not. 

It has been less than one week since my phone interview but it feels like so much longer than that.  I really hope I don’t have to wait too much longer.  This is not much fun.  I really wish I could be going tomorrow and not having to wait until May if accepted.  I really want to go and I feel like this would be a great way for me to gain experience and be able to say I worked at Walt Disney World since there aren’t really that many people who can say that.  I know that thousands of people have done this program but in comparison to the amount of people in the world, heck in the United States that number is relatively small.

Get to know me….

Why hello there.  My name is Lacey.  I am a student at the University of Nevada, Reno, or as we like to call it.  The University of Nevada.  I am currently taking a class at Truckee Meadows Community College so that I have time to prepare myself for the craziness that is applying to grad programs and preparing for the GRE.  I am a 5th year senior as of right now, next year though I will be a 6th year senior.  Boy to I take education seriously.  I am studying Poltical Science and Spanish, and I am going to have a minor in something I am just not really sure what at the moment, but it will probably be Women Studies.

As you can see by the above picture you can think I am bored or crazy, I could be both and I think that I probably am both.  The funny thing is the face I am making, I can’t do it the other way I can only do it that way.  I know that sounds weird but hey haven’t we already covered the bored and crazy, might as well as weird into it as well. 

Like many of you who hopefully read this blog, I am waiting to hear back from one of the greatest programs in the whole world.  I applied last week the day the application became available and had my interview this past Monday, now to the worst part of the process… The waiting game.  Some people are watching their favorite TV Shows on DVD or their favorite Disney Movie.  I on the other hand am looking for a job and trying to do my school work for my Econ class (let me just say I really don’t like Econ.)  But yeah, I am going to try to make the best out of my wait time.  I really can’t make any promises but I am going to try…

Here is my most recent Vlog, I hope you all like it.  I just want so badly to be a part of the adventure that is working for Disney.  I really love Disney and I love Disney World and Land and I so wish I could go more often.

Finally....

I got my video to post.

Day #3 of waiting

This whole waiting thing is getting kind of old.  I didn’t enjoy the 6 weeks of waiting that I had to suffer through the first time I applied, to just find out I was not accepted.  Thus I have already not been enjoying the waiting I have been doing and it has only been on week since I applied and 3 days since my interview.  I am not a very patient person and I find it difficult to wait for anything really.  I am better this time in terms of not obsessively checking my email all day long from day one like last time.  I am also not as freaked about it yet.  The not freaking out might have something to do with the fact that there probably hasn’t been anyone accepted yet.  I am assuming that will be changing soon since the application has now been open for an entire week and the recruiters have had time to look at people’s applications and interview results.  I just hope that I don’t have to wait very long.

Tonight I watched Eclipse and tomorrow I will probably watch another movie.  I am going to watch movies and try to relax and hang out with my friend more often, especially if I am going to be leaving for a long period of time in just a few short months, not really a few and not really short only one of the months is short and there are a few others in there too. 

I am going to have to, sadly, remove my lip piercing.  I like it, but I want to work at Disney World more than I want a hole in my lip.  It is not going to stop me from doing something I would absolutely love to do!!  I will also have to remove my helix piercing but that one won’t close as fast and I can keep jewelry in it when I am not working or in classes if I choose to take one.

One of the things I love to do while doing nothing is listening to my Pandora.com stations, especially my Glee station.  I love Glee and will be watching it every Tuesday it is on unless I have to work and then I will watch it on Hulu.com.  I am so excited to be able to, hopefully be able to say. one day, that I worked at Disney World.  I honestly don’t care what role I get as long as I am able to work there.  My preferences for positions though are, in order, Character Attendant, Attractions, and Merchandise.  I also chose Photopass Photographer, Main Entrance Operations, and Custodial.  I really don’t want to work Quick Service Food and Beverage, I have done that, I worked at McDonalds in high school and I have no desire to return to it.  If, however that is where I am placed, I will deal with it and will make the best out of it.

I will need to post the video I made last night to YouTube and then I will post it on here.  For some reason my computer doesn’t like videos and posting them.

I will be making another Vlog soon, to further chronicle my adventures in the process of hiring for the Walt Disney World College Program.

Day #2 of waiting

I am not tired and kind of have a migraine.  It sucks!!!

Well, here it is folks, day numero two.  Well, technically, since I have not yet gone to sleep it is still kind of day one but the date says otherwise.  Well the boredom of today was filled with getting an oil change and car wash, then going to my mom's work to see a friend and then watching the State of the Union Address.  After that I watched Speed and made a video of the pictures from the last trip we took to Disney World.  It is exciting, but I can't get it to upload!  :.(

I really hope that tomorrow isn't as boring. I need to continue the hunt for a job and do some school work.  I like school most of the time, just not this week. I would much rather read discussions and posts about Disney or watch Disney movies or just sleep.  But those aren't really options this time.  I am going to try to spend my time a little bit better and maybe waking up before noon could be helpful, then maybe I wouldn't stay up until like 3 or 4 am.  I have always been a night person and I can't really get away from it, no matter how many times I try I can't fall asleep before 11 pm period.  It sucks!!  If and when I go to Florida to work at Disney World I am going to have to make sure my sleeping schedule is FIXED!! But I won't know what it needs to be until I arrive.  I could need to sleep later due to working late or I may have to switch completely and have to be up really early for work.  I really hope I don't have to work too early!

--Faith, Trust, Pixie Dust!!

Day #1 of waiting

I know I just interviewed last night, but I am not looking forward to the wait in store.  I really hope I do not have to wait very long.  The email I received this morning says 3-4 weeks, I think my interviewer said 3-5.  I want the wait to be more like 1-2 weeks, however I seriously doubt that.  Though of course I could be wrong.  I really hope I get this.  I think it would be amazingly fantastic if I get to work at Disney World!!

Can't wait for the day when I can say that I work for the Mouse!!!


-Faith, Trust, Pixie Dust!!!

So the INTERVIEW!!

I feel much better about this interview than I did the last time!! Now to the waiting game again.  I hope it isn't as bad this time.  My interviewer was really nice and it was pretty awesome.  I wish everyone else luck who is going through this process.  It is fairly nerve wracking to have to wait and wait not knowing what is going to happen.  I am going to try to not think or worry about it so much.  It is possible.

Just believe it is possible, keeping a positive attitude is very important when it comes to things like this.  I am going to stay as positive as I can!!!

FAITH, TRUST and PIXIE DUST!!!!

GAHH!!!!

Oh my goodness!!!  I am getting very nervous.  My phone interview is in about an hour and 30 mins.

I am excited and nervous....  I will post again later to tell how it went.

All you need is FAITH and TRUST and little bit of PIXIE DUST!!!!!

THINKING PURPLE THOUGHTS!!!!

Nervous, Anxious, Excited...

Every time I go to write a blog or make a video I have all these ideas and then none of them actually come out while I am writing.  I wind up getting distracted or just decide that I don't want to write it anymore.  I want to write all of these profound type things that wind up sounding really cheesy and bad.  But for the record I am really excited about the possibilities of going to Florida.

As the title implies I am pretty nervous, anxious and excited.  I am though.  I know I have done this interview before but that doesn't change how I feel about it.  I hope I get this opportunity, I know I have said it tons of times but I need this.

I can't wait until I find out if I am going to be one of the people who will be working at Disney this upcoming fall!!!!  I would love to explore Florida in my spare time and hang out with my roommates and go to the parks just to have fun!!!

I am really hoping I get to go!!!! : )

Blah... BORED

It is 1 am and I am so bored.  I am watching Wizards of Waverly Place.  I don't watch this show very often, it has been a while since I watched it regularly.  I would be watching Degrassi but I have watched all of the recorded ones and now I have to wait until there are more to watch tomorrow after they record.  Yeah I am really bored.  I really need a job and really  hope I get to go to Florida.  I just need to be able to pay my bills.

I have a plan, when I am in Florida at Disney World I want to go on every ride in alphabetical order.  I know that sounds kind of ridiculous but I think it will be fun.  I am a loser but you know what... I have wanted to do the Disney College Program since my sister went to participate in 2005.  Though her experience wasn't the greatest, I still want to go and participate.

Eeek!

I know I have done this before but I am still nervous.  I applied at the end of October and didn't get in, but now I am nervous again!  I just have to prepare for this again, be ready to answer the questions and know what I am going to say.  I have to remember to smile, and be myself and honest.

I really hope I get this, this time.

This is a pic of me hanging out in the house of my potential boss!!!  I can't wait to work for the mouse!!

Video..

So here is another video!   This one is better than my two previous ones.  I have a phone interview scheduled for Monday at 6pm.  I am very excited, not as nervous as I was the last time I applied.  I hope I get this, I kind of need this.  I need something different in my life and traveling to Florida to work at Walt Disney World would be one of the best options for me!!  I love Disney and watch the Disney channel and movies.

Good luck to anyone who is applying and I hope that we all get in.  I don't know what I would do if I got rejected again.  I would not be happy.  I hope I get in. 

So...

It has been a while since I posted on here.  That is because I was rejected.  However, even though I was denied the first time doesn't mean I can't try again.  I reapplied today!  I am going to call tomorrow to schedule my phone interview.  Then the waiting game starts again.  Hopefully I don't have to wait as long as I had to wait last time.

I am going to keep a positive attitude about this whole thing.  Hopefully this time I get it and don't have to wait until the last day.  I really want this and I kind of need this.
