My exciting life!

My dreams are Coming True!!!!!!
Friday, March 20th, 10:30AM: A day and time I will NEVER forget. I was walking out of my house to go to the store. I happened to glance at my mailbox and saw 2 large white envelopes in the mail. One addressed to me, the other addressed to Megan, both from the Walt Disney Company!!!!!!!

This is the first line of my letter:
"Congratulations! You have been selected to participate as an Attractions Cast Member on the Disney College Program in the Fall 2009 Season."

I ripped mine open and immediately called my parents. I was shaking, crying, and could barely speak. I read the letter to my parents. They were ecstactic as well! I then texted Megan even though she was at placement and told her to find a way to call me. Megan called me and told me to open her letter! She is a lifeguard!

Anywho- on the way to Fortson Training Weekend we called EVERYONE we could think of. We left some pretty entertaining messages. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited and happy to have been given this opportunity!!! Every time I think about it I just thank God and am so thankful for all he is doing in my life.

I paid my assessment fee of $100 last night and reserved my check-in for August 19th! My family is going down a few days early and I am super pumped! We are also going in May after exams for a vacation before I move into camp!

Next week I will talk to the Disney rep on campus about what classes to take while I am down there and anything else I need to do.

In other News:
Fortson Training Weekend was AWESOME as well! We hiked all the way to the top of Stone Mountain! We also got a lot done and planned for the summer! I am so excited about this summer. I love my counselors and their craziness! I have a lot to do between now and camp but I know I will get it done! Only 69 days to go!! Can't wait!!

My busy busy life this week


Camp....
This past weekend I went to High Ropes Training at Rock Eagle. I was so worried about it because it had been a year since I had done any high ropes and I am not a fan of heights... But it was actually a lot of fun and not hard at all! Once I started belaying again everything just kind of came back to me and I remembered what I was supposed to do. My body was a little sore though, but oh well. It was also so awesome to spend time with my lovely counselors. I love them all and they make me smile. :)

*Dad- I learned how to tie a Double Figure 8 knot with a safety knot! AND I learned how to tie a fishermen's knot. You should be proud and the picture shows it...do you like it?! hahaha :D


Disney...
On Tuesday Megan and I attended the Disney Presentation on campus. After the meeting I called and scheduled my phone interview for this Friday at 12:00 pm! The interview will take place in Conyers, with all my family there so I am pretty pumped about that! I am also extremely nervous, but "It's all in God's Hands." I ended up applying for Quick Service Food and Beverage, Merchandise, Attractions, Main Entrance Operations, Recreation, Hospitality, Character Attendant, and Costuming. Although I don't really mind doing whatever they assign me because I just really want to work there, my top 3 choices are 1) Recreation, 2) Character Attendant, & 3) Attractions. But like I said I really don't care what I am doing as long as I am there! 

Other...
Tomorrow I have to work on a project, take a test, and then wait for my brother to get to Milly.  I can't wait to have my car or a car so I can stop feeling stranded. I have had 3 tests this week and I have 2 next week. Spring break cant get here soon enough!!

I CANT WAIT TO SEE MY FAMILY TOMORROW!!!!
