So I was starting a vlog (video blog) back in March but never got around to finishing taping the first episode. So i'm going to try this again, only this time in writing! I'll try to update at least once a week, no promises, but i'll try to keep y'all updated.
So for those of you who don't know, I was accepted into the Disney College Program back in February. The Disney College Program is kind of an internship with Disney. You move to Orlando (they provide you with housing, in exchange for a minimal fee out of your paycheck every week) and you work a minimum of 30 hours a week, sometimes over 70 hours during peak periods. You don't have to take classes and in many cases, you don't get credits for this either. In my case, I will try to take a class while i'm down there, and I have convinced HPU to give me 12 credits for this opportunity... to convince them, I had to take a 3 credit class where I had to complete a mini internship as well as fill out an extensive application with 13 objectives that I plan on achieving while i'm at Disney.
I'll find out where I'm working as well as choose where I would like to live when I check in on August 11th.
So I technically leave tomorrow (August 9th). It's been a crazy busy summer with tons of ups and downs. We'll now see where Disney will take me!
hey Steph! I am sooo excited for you!! Why do they do this? Is it to see if want to work there as a career? I know you are going to have an amazing time and I can't wait to hear about your adventures!! :) love karissa
