The Beginning of My Journey

Hello, all!  Eileen here.  Just thought I should give a quick overview of the blog for anyone who might accidentally stumble upon it.  This blog is dedicated to my (hopeful) journey through the Disney College Program (2014 Spring/Spring Advantage).  It's really mostly for my friends and family (as well as past, current, and hopeful participants) to keep up with what I'm doing and to see what goes on in the life of a CP (College Program participant).

So, it occurred to me yesterday, as I was creating the username and all that jazz, that this blog might end up being moot, because I haven't even heard back from the DCP yet.  I applied on Tuesday night and was asked to complete the WBI within two hours of submitting my application.  Within an hour of my completing the WBI, I was asked to schedule the phone interview, which I completed on Thursday.  The interviewer was really friendly and laughed a lot and gave me the impression that I'd be a good fit for all three of my top choices (BBB/PL hostess, Merchandise, and Attractions).  The odds sound pretty good, right?

Well, this week they were also taking applications for extensions from students who are participating in the 2013 Fall/Fall Advantage program, so I guess they're being bombarded.  Actually, most of the reason I'm posting today is to talk about how nervous I am.  I literally check my emails and the status of my application whenever I'm at my computer.  The anticipation is KILLING ME!!!!!!!  All I want is to know if I'm going to be able to have the experience of a lifetime working at Disney for a semester.  Is that too much to ask for?

Apparently.

I'll keep you guys updated - hopefully with positive news very, very soon!

Have a magical day!
