That Infamous Email

Well I finally received that fateful email. Exactly a month later at 6:11AM my phone beeped and those exciting words appeared in my inbox. Unfortunately, a lot has happened during my month of waiting to hear back. I've decided that Spring 2015 is not my time to go back to the Disney College Program. It will be my last semester of college and I don't want to miss out on the memories with my friends (those of you in sororities or fraternities might understand this the most). Plus I, once again, missed auditions as I had initiation for my sorority. If I'm going to do this again, I'm going to do it right. Because I missed auditions, I was kind of excited to see what they would determine as the "role best fit for me." Wait for it.....get excited......Quick Service Food and Beverage. Not exactly my ideal role.

I think it is best for me to go back to Disney in the fall. I won't miss auditions and I think some of my old DCP friends are planning on going back during that time too!

Here We Go Again

Hey there EOE fans. Long time no talk! First of all, I wanted to thank those of you that continued to read after my program was all said and done. I've still been receiving a lot of feedback and that's such a great feeling!

So I did something a little crazy. I applied for another College Program for Spring 2015.

Now that I'm home, a lot of people ask me, "what's one thing you would change if you could go back and do it all over again." For those of you who have been following my story, you know how much I've always wanted to be a character performer, and in fact I auditioned during my program this past year. I had missed auditions prior to applying for my first program and that was always my biggest regret. Not that I didn't love my role as a Merchandise Hostess or the people I worked with, but I would've loved to had the role I wanted during my program and not just for the summer extension, which is what I got it for.

So I will be auditioning in Phoenix, AZ on October 5th and hopefully all goes well.

I submitted my application today, September 25th at 3:15PM, and it went by pretty quickly since they already had a lot of my information filled in. I will keep you updated as things continue or if they change!

And Just Like That...

Like many-a-blogger I must apologize for this aggressively delayed final post. I've been thinking of the best way to wrap up this adventure, to put it into words how those "last's" were for me without sounding super cliche. I don't want to give every detail away because remember people, there's much more to come in my book, but I know I just can't leave you hanging.

Now that I could look back at it, I'm almost at a loss for words how to sum it up. The last few weeks were probably the most fun. The fact that we were all leaving was starting to sink in and my friends in I had decided to crank out every fun memory that we could. It was a blast, but it made it even more difficult because, hey now it was just starting to get super fun.

My last week was filled with long hours, hard rain, and my father flying in from Colorado. We hit the parks for two days and on that final night, as so many CP's had done, I watched Wishes for the last time. Tears welled up in my eyes, I am such a baby, and I found myself thinking "dreams really DO come true." 

My program had its ups and downs but I met some amazing people along the way, was introduced to incredible experiences, and had the time of my life. I'm glad I did it. I passed the "See Ya Real Soon" sign for the last time on my way out of Orlando and kissed my beautiful memories goodbye. It was truly incredible.
