1st Day of Classes!

My brain was actually forced to stop thinking of Disney for 2 classes this morning.  I am a note taker at my college and had 2 math classes I was taking noted in at 8:30 am and 1:00 pm.  Because I'm getting paid to do this, my brain checked out of Disney World and into Math World. ;D

Tonight I have 2 of my own classes to attend; Word Processing Applications 2 and Computerized Office Applications.  I've already completed almost half the class/homework for WP2 but I haven't even looked at the COA textbooks yet.  At least I know what to expect with the WP2 class as I had that teacher last semester for WP1.  I should be able to leave classes early on Monday nights as long as my work is done.

Tomorrow I have Interpersonal Communications. (yea! can you hear the sarcasm?)  The only reason I'm taking this class is because my advisor signed me up for a certificate program as well as my Associate program.  Blech!  Not my idea of a fun class, but the textbook has been an interesting if repetitive read so far. 

If you haven't noticed, I like to read ahead in my classes and get as much of the assigned homework as possible before hand just in case.  That way I'm safe if I forget or something comes up.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy potatoes ... 12 Days already!!!!
I don't know if I can handle this.  The wait is literally driving me insane.  How can a brain handle this much Disney thought?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, enjoy your day.

Another video for you to enjoy!  I love this one!

11 Days!

Could time have slowed down to a crawl?  Some days I think so.  I am now on day 11 of my wait and it's killing me. (And just so you know, I'll probably post similar thoughts everyday til I get accepted; yes I said accepted. I don't believe I won't get in)

I keep trolling the Facebook group for new discussions or wall posts.  Anything to keep me sane.

My parents had a couple of friends over this weekend and one them was wearing a Goofy T-shirt today.  It said "My mother says I'm Special."  I loved it. Plus, it was Disney.

Holy potatoes this wait better not be too much longer!  I'll probably take my laptop to school with me tomorrow so I can keep checking my e-mail. C=

Freaking Out

I am totally freaking out right now.  It's been 10 days since my phone interview and every chanc eI get, I'm checking my e-mail to see if I've gotten that acceptanc e-mail.  My mind has not stopped thinking about Disney things since my interview.  Even at work I can't keep my mind off it.

In addition to checking my e-mail, I keep checking the Facebook group page.  I'm telling you, it's a life saver.  I wouldn't be able to survive the wait without you guys.  D-Fam 2011 is starting off nicely.  There are even nightly Skyoe chats.  I haven't them yet cause I don't have a webcam or videocamera.  But I did sign up for a Skype account the other day so maybe I'll try joining in soon.

School is about to start for me so maybe that'll hold my attention for awhile.  My first classes are on Monday. Yea!  I'm taking 4 classes this semester plus, I have a note-taking job for the Academic Support Center, which means I'll be attending 2 additional math classes to take notes for other students.

I'm hoping this school semester goes by quickly.  I can't wait to go down to Florida.  The nice warm weather will be nice after a cold Connecticut winter.  I keep making plans for moving down there even though I haven't been accepted yet.  Maybe I'm jinxing myself but I can't help it.

Did I mention I'm freaking out?

Playlist

Hey Guys!
So I think I'm now on Day 8 of "The Wait" and I have not stopped thinking of Disney yet.  I wish I could just know already so my thoughts aren't continually on Disney.  Of course even if I do get in, I'll be thinking about getting down to Disney.

Anyways, to pass the time (and stop bugging my mom) I've spent a couple hours today downloading and making a playlist of Disney music to listen to.

These are the songs I've included:

• That's How You Know - Enchanted
• Gaston - Beauty and the beast
• Hakuna Matata - Lion King
• Cruella De Vil - 101 Dalmations (Selena Gomez Version)
• Once Upon a Dream - Sleeping Beauty (Emily Osment Version)
• Duck Tales Theme
• Hasta La Vista - Camp Rock
• The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management - The MK attraction
• I'll Make A Man Out of You - Mulan
• Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat - Aristocats
• You've Got a Friend In Me - Toy Story
• Life Is A Highway - Cars
• Zero to Hero - Hercules
• Be Our Guest - Beauty and the Beast
• Kiss the Girl - Little Mermaid (Ashley Tisdale Version)
• Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - Mary Poppins
• The Unbirthday Song - Alice in Wonderland
• Fantasmic! - HS attraction
• Bibbidi-Bobbidy-Boo - Cinderella
• The Three Cabelleros Theme
• A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes - Cinderella
• I Wanna Be Like You - Jungle Book
• He Melo No Lilo - Lilo and Stitch
• I'm Still Here - Treasure Planet
• You Can Fly! - Peter Pan
• Hawaiian roller Coaster Ride - Lilo and Stitch
• I Just Can't Wait To Be King - Lion King
• Prince Ali - Aladdin

These are just some of the song I really like.  I would add more, but that took me awhile to make up.

Magical Wishes to Everyone!

One Week

It has now been a whole week since I applied and had my phone interview.  Even though my interviewer said it would be 3-4 weeks before I found out, I can't help but check my e-mail every day just in case.

I'm driving everyone around me crazy with all my Disney talk.  To pass the time waiting, I like to "stalk" CP blogs; past and present, watch youtube videos like tours of the apartments and stuff.
I've also been reading Disney Vacation books.

Birnbaum's Guide to Walt Disney World is a great  guide to use when planning a trip to Disney.  And since they update it every year, it had some great information.
Also available are the Walt Disney World -Without Kids, Walt Disney World With Kids, Walt Disney World Dining, and Walt Disney World  Cruise Line.

Now, I'm not gay but a former co-worker (a Disney nut like myself) lent me a copy of this book.  It had some great information on the parks and ride, etc.  The authors also include what they call, Fairy Facts, little tidbits on behind the scenes stuff, or trivia, i.e. Prince Charming Carousel in Fantasyland is from New Jersey.







My next aquisition will, hopefully, be Mousekatraz; a book written by a former CPer about the program.

Well, until next time, Have a Magical Day!

Waiting ...

So now comes the portion of the application process called "Waiting For that Purple Folder."  For those of you who may not know, Disney sends out the acceptance letters in a purple folder.

I thought for this post I'd list the locations I'd like to work at in Disney; all of which are in the Magic Kingdom.

 1. Tinkerbell's Treasure:

Tink is my homegirl and I would love, love, love to work in this store every day.







2. Disney Clothiers:

I love the look of this store and the fact that it's on Mainstreet.  I'd get to see guests when they first come into the park and before they leave.










3. Agrabah Bazaar:

This is a pretty cool location to work.  The decor is amazing and I love the Morroccan feel to it.  Plus, this is where I first met Aladdin and Jasmine.








4. Ye Olde Chistmas Shoppe:

Christmas is my favourite holiday and even though I might not extend my program to stay til Christmas, I think working here would keep the holiday spirit with me in Disney.







I have other locations that I wouldn't mind working, but they're in teh other parks.  I'll list those locations in another post.

For now take care and have a Magical day !
