Sorted

Well, I've officially made it to the 100 day mark on the countdown! Everyone is still freaking out on the DCP facebook groups about who their roommates and suitemates are going to be, but I've successfully avoided this stampede of overzealous participants. I found my roommate about a month and a half ago, and I'm cool with that. Seeing as I went into college and got placed with five strangers in my dorm apartment, I am totally willing to do that again. Plus, I generally get along well with other people so I'm not too concerned.

I am glad that I have everything sorted out ahead of time. Plane ticket, hotel reservation, and shuttle from the airport to the hotel are all taken care of. All that's left to do it sit around and wait! Minus the sitting around part - I have a jam-packed plan to make this an amazing summer. From road trips to bridge jumping to skydiving, I'm going to do it all and I am totally pumped!

Last Day to Apply - March 29th!

I should be working on my 45 minute presentation, 10 page paper, and exam that are all due this week (and that's just for one class!), but instead I have decided to blog because I am just so darn excited for the DCP! I don't think that I can wait until August - 140 more days to go! But on a closer note, only 31 more days left in the semester!

So if I haven't been doing anything school related, how have I been spending my time, you may ask? By watching hours and hours of DCP related vlogs. I am addicted, and not afraid to admit it. My name is Kendra, and I am a vlog-aholic.

But seriously, I definitely recommend kelsiedoingdisney. It is, I personally believe, the most entertaining and informative vlog. I don't know, maybe I'll start a vlog of my own. Other than all the editing, it seems like it takes a heck of a lot less effort than blogging these essays every time. Maybe I'll look into that as the DCP rolls closer! And in the meantime, I will continue surfing YouTube, shopping at the online Disney Store, and, most of all, procrastinating on my homework.

P.S. The last day to apply to Fall/Fall Advantage 2013 is March 29th. That's in FOUR days, so you better get on it! If you are still on the fence about applying, my advice would be to apply anyway! That way, you have time to make a thought-out decision and if you get accepted, you can always turn down the offer if you decide not to go.

Mission Timekeeper

I must say, I love this game. For all you accepted CPs out there who haven't started playing it, what are you waiting for?! The object of the game is to travel to all the planets and gain access to their force field by learning Disney trivia and quizzing yourself afterwards. The keys you obtain by taking over a planet will then unlock various parts of a Disney timeline. It is indeed a very clever way to get us to learn about the parks, movies,
rides, etc. If only college classes involved games like this!

Well, I have three more planets to unlock (out of nine total), so I better get to it! If you are curious where to find this game, just google mission time keeper, or go to missiontimekeeper.com Your username is your email and your password is your candidate ID that you received during your acceptance into the program. Have fun!

DISNEY WORLD, HERE I COME!!

I have never written two posts in one day, UNTIL NOW!! Why, you may ask? Because I have been accepted into the Fall 2013 Disney College Program in Walt Disney World!

Let me tell you how it happened:

It all started in Psych 301 (mmmm...statistics). I let my professor know that I had to leave class a little early (there was an ultimate frisbee game going on, but I didn't tell him that part). The class runs from 4:30pm to 6:20pm, and I had planned on leaving around 5:45pm. At about 5:00, we start getting into multiple regression. Pftt, I thought, I already know all this. Time to enter the world wide web.

BAM! Email from Disney. First word, "Congratulations." I start hyperventilating and want to scream, but I remember where I am. I want to run out and call everyone I know, but it's the middle of class! Then I remember I already asked to leave class early. Mwaha! So I slipped out at 5:15 and called my mommy, and yelled, and ran home, and yelled some more!

I will be in Orlando from August 12th, 2013 through January 2nd, 2014 and will be working Quick Service Food and Beverage.

I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!
