Another Adventure

About a month ago, I applied for the Disney College Program. I had my interview, sent in my application and anxiously awaited for a response. One week ago, I received my acceptance. The Walt Disney Company had offered me a spot in the program with the role of Merchandise. Less than 24 hours ago, I accepted the position.

I knew if I didn't accept it, I'd regret it the rest of my life. There were a few things holding me back, like my friends, family, pets, organizations etc. But I knew this wasn't going to come my way again, and it could really help me not only with my career, but help me grow as a person as well.

I am a bit worried about leaving my friends, for I've noticed that even with a few of us living on opposite ends of campus, we've grown apart - what's living states apart going to do?

I'm pretty excited, but freaking out at the same time. I've been in a 10 mile radius of my house all my life, excluding my week in CA and week in Japan, but you catch my drift. 5 months away! Wow.

I leave January 7, 2009 and return May 15, 2009. This experience isn't necessarily a vacation, but I think documenting my time in this blog is appropriate, so keep a look out!
