I just wanted to share what has been going on the past couple of weeks! Lets see number one I graduated the from the disney college program last thursday! yeah I am excited I completed my program, and now I only have a couple of weeks left in my program, how exciting is that! I am excited to go back home because I miss home, and my family a lot but a part of me is going to be sad when it's time to leave I might even cry when it is my last day of work! I am also taking 15 or 16 credit hours next semester so it will be a busy semester, and also working a lot because I am saving up to buy a new car I am almost at 1,00o dollars so my hope is that by the time I leave is that I will reach my goal by that time. That way when it is time for me to buy my new car, I can say 1,000 of it is from disney woohoo! Well I think that is all from me for now have to get up early tom I work at 11:30a.m. to 5:30p.m. tomorrow so that is all until next time folks, have a magical night, and day!

It's been awhile

Hey Everyone,
It's is finally yours truly giving an update I know how shocking right I believe the last time I wrote in this blog was august 6th, 201o and now it's December 10th almost time for me to go home! Can't believe it's been this long I first must apologize that I promised to write you guys at least once a week, and it didn't happen I can't believe it's been 5 months since I last wrote in here and I am sorry about that again. I just have to say this goes for those that are going to be coming very soon for the spring 2o11 program that once you get down here you don't have time to do anything really in your free time, and when you have free time you will want to go to the parks, and or explore the surrounding area(this will happen later on in the program, when you need to get away from the parks trust me it does happen) So in this blog I will discuss what has happen to me in the past 5 months by summing up what went down in each month that I have been here, and what I remember to my knowledge! I will also tell you what will be happening to this blog after the program!
August- I arrived on August 23rd, 2010 was super excited to finally be here, I moved in to my new apartment and finally met my roomates, which I love them they will be my best friends even after the program ends I will miss all of them as well as finding out I was living in chatum, which I love so much! I also had traditions in the first week, which was amazing love that class I would take it again so much fun, I am not allowed to tell you guys what we talked about in that class you will have to wait to find out and see for yourselves. I also started training in my area, which is in fantasyland, and tomorrowland which I love you angela my trainer she is amazing I am going to miss you when I go back home!
September- Started working on my own and passed my assessment loved my job, and my new friends in my location and started playing in the parks as often as I could
October- Got deployed to a new location for 2 months, which I didn't really enjoy working their loved the people I met just didn't like the location which is cosmic rays starlight cafe in tommorowland. I also started to feel a little homesick this month as well.
November- Working constantly, even more hours then before missing home even more, parent's came to visit had a blast with them. thanksgiving time as well made me miss home a lot on this day since this is my favorite holiday, and I even cried can you imagine that. I also started a radio show, with my best friend this month karolina kristof love you and miss you can't wait to see when I come home our radio show is called talkpsychwithalexandkarolina and can be found on blogtalkradio go listen to it is pretty awesome you will not be sorry that you did! I also lost my voice for the first time this month as well it was pretty funny actually especially when I had to work I am all better now, but it is still pretty funny thinking about it. I also saw harry potter and the deathly hallows movie in the theaters so awesome my all time favorite movie of this year followed by the twilight saga eclipse in close second.
December- Ready to go home, and start living in reality again, because it seems all this is fantasy, but it isn't. That's all that's happened this month so far will let you know more when it is over!
Now that this blog is coming to an end the more future of this blog will turn in a new blog called talkpsychwithalexandkarolina based on our radio show go check it out it's awesome.
So hope everyone has enjoyed this random thoughts in my head on my blog, I was more better about vlogging then blogging so go check out my youtube channel tman4lwh07 , oh and one more thing that is what my radioshow is under on blogtalkradio cause that is my host name tman4lwh07 go follow me and enjoy!
hope everyone has an amazing day and an awesome weekend,
Have a magical night and day!
yours truly,
alex A

Disney drams blog number 4

Hey Everyone hope everyone is doing fine! I am so sorry that it has been a long time since I wrote in this blog life has just been getting in the way! School is going well I have finally officially changed my major to psychology, and now that everyone officially knows that I have changed it everything feels good again before when some people didn't know it felt like things were being boggled up inside of me waiting to get out but now that my dad knows things are better for me, even if he is still pretty mad at me for changing my major oh well he will get over it in due time! I probably won't be graduating until spring 2012 or fall 2012 I haven't made up my mind yet we will see how things go on that it all depends if I feel like studying for the gre's during my time in disney world probably not so I am sure it will now be fall 2012 so pretty much a year and a half later than my originally planned date for graduation oh well! Hope everyone is doing well can't wait till it's time for disney I haven't decided If i am going to leave on the 23rd for disney or the 22nd haven't decided yet if anyone has any suggestions please let me know ! I know I am so behind on my youtube blogs but school has been hectic as well as life at the moment so I guess I can only have enough time in the for the important things to get done if not please look at my youtube page as I will try to get another blog done this weekend we will see how things go with that!

Disney dreams blog number 2

The day February 16th, the time is 12:30p.m., and the year is 2010, and this is the day that I got my invitation letter from disney to get into the disney college internship program for Quick Service Food & Beverage for the Fall 2010 program! I was so excited to get my letter, and even more so since I wasn't expecting it for another week or too, and I now also have my purple folder at home waiting for me. I have now accepted the offer, and paid the dues for the program and am arriving the 23rd of august by plane! I am so excited to go even though is it possible to feel a little homesick before you even go? I started to feel it a little bit yesterday, but I know this will be a great opportunity for me regardless so overall I am excited! Now I am thinking 183 more days till departure, and their is still so much left I have to do! first off I have to talk to my advisors and tell them I am going to do the program, then fill out paperwork to let the school know that I am doing the program in the fall so I don't have to reapply for the spring! While on top of that this week I have to write a 4 page paper for my one class, and study for a test which is all due on the same day on wed. ( oh the life of a college student) thankfully for the paper I can make stuff up, and put it down since it is just a reflection paper! So sorry I have been holding out, and writing in this journal I have been super busy with my classes so hopefully my goal is to write in this blog at least once a week to give you guys some updates in my life, and how my road to disney is going! So until next time have a excellent week!

disney dreams blog number 1

hey everyone,
This journal is intended for my family, friends, or anyone interested in the disney college program! You can send me questions, or comments to me, and i will answer them as soon as possible. On a related note I guess I should start by introducing myself and letting you all know a little bit about me! I just turned 21 yah officially legal! i am very excited about this start to my disney career which could lead to bigger things in the future which would be an awesome thing! I first off have been interested in working for disney ever since I first saw a disney commercial on t.v., but unfortunately I was not able to go down to disney world during my childhood, so my first experience at disney was when i went with my high school band so that we would be able to play in the disney dreams come true parade! That is an experience I will never forget in my lifetime since it was quite a rewarding one as well for many reason which I won't bore you all to death with! So after this experience the feeling grew even more that I wanted to work for disney so once I got to college, and first heard of the disney college internship program I knew it was something that I had to do, and that was back my freshmen year so long story short after about three years of deciding of when I was going to do the program I realized now would be the perfect time so instead of waiting for the presentation to come here at my college which is in another month I applied early because I didn't want to wait any longer! So on Sunday January 24th, 2010 I went online and watched the e-presentation, and when that was finished I wrote down the presentation code and filled out the application, which is a pretty standard application for any job really. When that was done I had to take the web-based interview which I was nervous for since I was like what if it says that I am not a good canadite for the program? so after the long process I finished it, and it said I was a strong canadite!(typo i know don't feel like correcting it!) and to call disney for an interview, so the next day after my morning class I ran back to my room, and got on the phone with them the first thing, and what did i do I waited 30 minutes before someone picked up in which they were very friendly, and I scheduled my interview for friday january 29th, 2010 at 1:30p.m. and so before my interview i literally stared at my phone for at least 10 minutes prior to disney calling me, but at the exact time my interview was suppose to start it rang which was good because I would have had a heart attack or something if they called me late! so the interview went very well pretty basic questions if you ask me! So after it was done they said I would hear something from them in 4-6 weeks, so now it's the waiting game for the purple folder or as I like to call it the hunt for the purple folder! ( which in my opinion they should make a reality show out of it the wait for the purple folder, and have all sorts of twists in it, I think it would be pretty exciting to watch) Anyways thats it for now I let you know more when something more exciting happens, so until then have a magical day!
