Advice

Phone Interview

Prepare! There are so many potential interview question all over the internet, including on this blog! I had all the interview questions listed with a couple bullet points underneath each one so that I would never get lost and I could make sure that I remembered to say what I wanted to say. It also helped me avoid using "um."

Course Registration

Course registration begins at 12:01am PACIFIC TIME, not Eastern time.
The system was down until around 3:00am Arizona time, so even though it says that registration begins at 12:00am, it's probably not true. However, I was one of the few that stayed up until it finally worked.


Packing

DO NOT FORGET YOUR EMPLOYEE ELIGIBILITY DOCUMENTS!!!! Make it be one of the first things you pack!

Transportation

I can't stress it enough people...if you can bring your car here...DO IT! I drove 2,030 miles from Arizona to Florida so I could keep my dear car "Jeddadiah" with me, and although he lost a side view mirror along the way, it was totally worth it because I don't have to rely on the AWFUL, and I mean AWFUL Disney transportation system and I can go to Walmart whenever I want. Don't underestimate the beauty in being able to buy groceries on your time people!!!!

  1. Hi Emily! First, I want to say that I love your blog! I never keep up with anything like this, but I love getting to read all your new posts! I'm looking to apply for next Spring so reading about your experience is great!
    I was wondering if you could walk me through a few basic steps of starting a blog, because I'm not quite sure how to go about it. Thanks! - Alex

  2. Hi Alex,

    If you have a Gmail or Google account already, setting up a blog on Blogger/Blogspot is very simple and Google can walk you through all the steps! Do you have any specific questions I can answer?
