101 Dalmations! Err, I mean followers.
Thank you all for tagging along on my Disney adventure. :)
I have also officially been here for a month! Craziness.

I have definitely not updated enough recently.
But I am sick. Sick as a dog. I called in today and slept until 4 in the afternoon, so I have been extremely lazy. So here’s some info about what to do if you’re too sick to work during your college program!
Try your best not to call in sick for 3 or more days within a 30 day period. They will give you a point on your record for that, and those are not good. HOWEVER, for CPs, there is...

You might meet a wonderful person on your program
And it might be due to a total accident. Like missing the 00:40 bus by mere seconds but meeting them on the 1:11 bus. Then you might chat to them on the bus and find out you share a TON of stuff in common. Then you might go on a date to see Star Wars in 3D at the Downtown Disney AMC and have an amazing time. Just saying. Don’t rule out any possibilities for the DCP.

Seven Tips
Because I’ve now been here over two weeks, I’m gonna compile some tips for people beginning their College Program soon or who have just begun.
Don’t completely rely on the bus schedule. Always take a bus earlier than you think you’ll need. The buses are often late and the bus drivers will not stop for you even if you’re running and frantically waving. On our first...

Sorry for the lack of posting as of late...
Work/life in general has been extremely hectic! Loving life and my job and stuff though. :) I get paid tomorrow! Also, I’ve become a bit addicted to Disney pin trading/collecting. I look super-scary in this photo but whatever. I’m tired.
No longer a trainee!
Today was my assessment day. Not only was it much easier than I expected, but it was a lot of fun! I work 13 and a half hours tomorrow. FUNNN.

First Day for on the Job Training
fantasmicallydisney:
It went pretty well. The first half of the day was really boring because I had to do a bunch of trainee things on the computer; I don’t remember most of it already. But after lunch I started actually working on the ride and that was much more fun and actually made the time go by really fast. Hopefully it will always go like that, though I doubt it. ^_^
I also got my...

Day 5 of training
Today was basically the cramming session for tomorrow’s assessment. Once I assess (and hopefully pass), I will no longer be considered a trainee! WOOHOO!
Things that happened today:
Elle (shelldor) came by when I was at work, which was a surprise!
A guest forgot to get her 3D glasses at EO because she thought that “ever since they invented 3D TVs, you don’t need glasses...
Days off!
So, today and yesterday were my first days off since I’ve begun working. I didn’t make a post yesterday about it because I wanted to do it for both days. Also laziness. Yesterday, I went with Carmen and Taliah to EPCOT! Taliah had to go back to the apartment early, but Carmen and I stayed to do World Showcase. And today, I did EPCOt again with D and we met up later with Christine, an...

Day 2!
I am too tired to make a comprehensive post so I’ll just list a few of the major events of the day.
THREE people called in sick who were scheduled to open the ride, so Bobby (my fellow trainee) and I were enlisted by the trainers to go open the ride. It was definitely a learning experience. And I got a GFS card for it! :D
We read the Operation Guides today which were hellishly boring.
I...

Training: Day one!
Training was surprisingly fun. After meeting up with my trainer, I got my somewhat unattractive costume (although the cool labcoat made up for it). Learned a lot about Imagination, too! We won’t start on Captain EO until Wednesday,and I have to learn three spiels for that by then. We did a crapton of e-learning, too. I learned that I AM NOT REQUIRED TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS PART OF MY...

Discovery Day & Magic Kingdom!
This morning, I woke up early for Discovery Day. It was basically an EPCOT-centric Traditions and I definitely enjoyed myself, despite the slightly cold weather! Lots of awesome things happen but I won’t spoil them for any future EPCOT CPs. I got my schedule/first work location, too! I’m working at Captain EO and Imagination! I met one of my coworkers who seemed really nice, too, so...

Check-in: The Longest Day Of My (And Possibly...
(Excuse my incoherence. I am deeaaaadd.) 5:30 am: I wake up. Awful. So early. 6:00 am: We are out the door, and going to my roommate Carmen’s hotel to pick her up. 6:11 am: We make it to Vista Way. My parents drop Carmen and I off, and we meet up with two roommates who are standing in line. 7:00 am: The first group of people goes to check in. We end up at the front of the line for the second...

I haven't posted in a while so I just wanted to...
I got plants for the apartment today! I’m a firm believer that plants make everything look better, so I got lots of ornamental stuff as well as some mint plants! That’s exciting. Right? I just wanna be in Orlando already.

The "Before-I-Go" Bucket List
Kind of the opposite of a lot of bucket lists related to the Disney College Program, as this one is just stuff I want to do before I leave home. Anyway.
Finish reading The Fault In Our Stars
Finish reading KK:Power Play
Finish watching Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace
Finish re-watching at least series 1 of Torchwood
Eat dinner at DaRuMa (which is the best Japanese restaurant in my town)
Buy...

Twelve more days
Until I leave for Disney. My goodness, time flies. I remember when that number was in the 40s.
My roommates all seem really awesome! One even offered to bring coffee and tea for everyone.
I have nothing to do for these next 12 days though. I guess I could finish watching Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace or re-watching Torchwood or something. I should make a bucket list of stuff to finish doing...

Leaving for Bloomington tomorrow!
It’ll be my last visit there before I move to Orlando and work there. It will be so nice to see my friends and whatnot, but I’m also ready to try Disney on for size. :) I probably won’t be updating this blog until Wednesday, when I return. Ciao! xx

Some a lot of fairy lights to hang around
