How much I miss the Disney College Program!

As you all know it's been about 278 days since I have returned home from the Disney College Program and I must say I miss it daily. I miss the parks, the people, the weather, the malls, walmart AND I even miss my Job anddd THE BUS?..... Anyway, Just wanted to let you people who still read the blog that if you have a chance to extend you might as well do it. 5 months is nothing, the longest part of Disney was the waiting process to get accepted. Or, do the advantage program for a longer stay but it might not be of your best interest since you might not be able to switch to another job position. As for those of you still awaiting your responses or need further tips that you would like me to post about. Please feel free to post and visit! I have been busy with work and internship back here at home. So currently I have been fully booked in life with full time school, work and internship HOWEVER, I still like to browse when I view comments.

Thank you again for viewing!

HAVE A MAGICAL DAY

Disney College Program Extension

If you read my previous post you'll know that I applied for extensions but was rejected. Here's how it works. If you're going to apply for extensions I suggest you try your very best to keep a clean record.. that means NO lateness, no absences, call ins, no points! reprimands! zip! Unfortunetly for myself, I had to lose a key which is a major issue for most working areas that requires you to have a keys, for Old Key West, lose a key and you'll receive a 2 point reprimand, so dont lose it like me............ dont ask me how I lost it, I'm still trying to figure that out myself, it still hasn't been found! It's different for every area, I was told that I am lucky I didnt get sent home for loosing a key sooo yea it depends.

My managers tried everything from calling the managers of recruitment and they were told that spots have already been filled, not even awaiting line, they are finished and ready to let me go T.T xD Soooooooooo even if you do a great job and your managers love you, YOU STILL GO HOME!!!

Anyway, I also learned from going to a networking event with disney leaders, that one of the managers who is in charge of recruiting, specifically told me that, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING ON YOUR CARD YOU GET FIRST PRIORITY depending on the positions you have applied and they will most likely allow you to change positions and extend.. However, if you have some things on you record card depending on how serious it is.. I repeat No reprimands If you do.. they wont even look at your extension application! forget about even trying to change your position you might have better luck staying in the position you are in now. If you have points on your record card and you really want to extend I suggest in one of those slots where you're suppose to fill in your choices you want to extend for, leave room for your current position, and you'll probably have no trouble achieving that.

You can be part of the CP for 1 whole calender year so if you're part of the advantage program, you can still apply for another position for 4-5 months. First you'll be receiving a email from Disney about extensions around 3 months into your college program ONLY if you're part of the 4-5 month program. If you're in the  advantage program you'll be receiving that a little later..Place all the required information to log as you apply, apply for your options of positions, submit and wait. You'll receive your response the same way you logged in to apply and that will come around 3-4 weeks.

That's it for now, tired as usual

Have a magicallllll day~~~~~~

Life goes skidding sideways.

I madeee ;)

I remember the time I was forced to write a paper about how my life went skidding sideways to relate to a book we were also forced to read in class. Anyone ever read "A funny thing happened on the way to the future" Well I did, it wasn't tooo BAD, compared to other books we've been forced in life to read, however every book has its memorable parts that wont be forgotten or could be related with through life. I know that many words spoken in that book really made me think "Yes.. you're right" they have great quotes in this book I must say, great for college, high schoolers or just people reading for the hell of it and HEYY it's by Michael J. Fox soo, I thought about how long it would take me to think up a situation in life that went skidding sideways, I'm sure we all have our life stories of situations, but what makes you think the teacher wants to read about anything that's personal and what makes you want to tell the professor. I just took something out of life and made it into skidding sideways to entertain my teacher, not like I have never skidded sideways in life before, but it's hard to think back on something appropriate for the class.

So, these days I've been thinking and relating exactly to this "skidding sideways" quote that was used quite often within that book, and I thought how life right now was the PERFECT example to write for this for this skidding sideway essay.
Dont GET ME wrong, not saying that Disney Life is not cool or anything, just been having my moments where nothing is looking good or turning out right.

If I would have the chance to rewrite that paper, it would be exactly on how life is going on these few days. Despite the fact that I only have a month left of Disney and they wont let me extend because of my 2 point reprimand I got for loosing a key. I almost that was the end for all the bad things happening. and as for for many of you, that might be wondering.. why is she extending!! The truth is, I felt like I haven't taken advantage of my Disney opportunities enough around here. I didnt really have the time or the energy to play in the parks or use my disney discounts, not to mention not even going to seaworld or universal yet.. ( I will soon)

Now I will explain how life went skidding sideways. Here's what happened the following days, a few days ago, as I was ready to go home, my outerwear that I always leave in the same spot was stolen in the girls locker room. It upsets me because that's the spot I usually leave it. I've been leaving it in there for months and someone FINALLY DECIDES to Steal it......so, I thought to myself, no more extension and now you steal my JACKET!! Soon after that I ended up loosing one and only phone. THINGS ARE SKIDDING SIDEWAYS I TELL YOU!! Now I could not blame anyone but myself, sleeping on the bus and not paying attention when you get off the bus is a no no.. I REPEAT, do not make the same mistakes as myself.

Shameful, I know.. my co workers said I would loose myself next lol.. Now, with just 1 month left of Florida I am phone less atm, and awaiting for my mom to send me a new one. So, i sit on the bus and daydream all day awaiting for a miracle to happen, maybe the CP who took it finally came to their senses to return it... MAYBE......................! One could only hope :(

But yes, I ask myself now, what could one do now without a cellphone, no one cant contact me to hang out.. with just a month left I am stuck at home trying to use Facebook as a way of communication. HELP.......

Now I leave you with a question, How to change life from skidding sideways and how do i overcome from loosing myself.

Have a magical DAY!!!

Yours truly.~~~~~~

I know I haven't been updating alot, Its' been alot going on, and days are going by so quickly.. if i had more time, i would update more!!

Disney College Program "Grocery Price is right"

I won I won I won I wonnnnnnnnnnn AGAIN!!!

This time it's not Grocery Bingo. Actually it's has nothing to do with getting the "grocery" price right so DO not visit the Grocery Store to cheat on prices like yours truly..................You will win the same things as Grocery bingo so do not fear if you're not good at this game, there's always luck with grocery bingo next time.

The point of this game is to guessing the price of the whole trip or grocery, so they will start with a few pictures of trips, event,s disney related themes, and sometimes grocery so be careful with this.. it's quite tricky. You will receive a raffle ticket upon entering the room for your seats, If you're very unlucky like me, myself and I your number will be called at the very end when half of the room is gone. BUT HEY at least I got free grocery, patience is the KEY!!

You'll be sitting for a good few hours so hang tight. Here's how you play.. when a raffle number is drawn, you will be going up to the front of the room, where you will compete with 3 other people whose raffle number was also called. This is where it becomes intense, once the picture on the screen is shown you must guess the price of the total. But make sure, you do not go over the price range anything under or close will continue forth to the showdown between you and another person competing against grocery and the same thing happens again, you will be guessing the price of the pictures shown on the screen. Ranging from grocery shopping items, hotel stays, park prices, cruises, etc. KNOW YOUR DISNEY STUFF i'd say. Sometimes I cant figure out how they get the final price but yea.. I hope you're lucky at guessing like me and the audience can help you along with friends.

Here's an example of what they might ask:

You are 3 friends who booked for vip seating for the epcot fireworks, how much is the total?(stuff like that)

I think that's about it.. Enjoy and hope you can win tooo.

Disney College Program Building Inspection.

COOKIES!!!
Your inspection paper results...

It's TRUE!!! You cant just keep your room as dirty and as messy as you want. No.. not Really, You can but Just keep your eyes OPENED for your inspection days that will be posted near the entrance by the security or near bus stops.

Throughout your Disney College Program, your building will be inspected a few times. It seems I get an inspection every 37 days, my first one being February 22 and the upcoming one on April 1st. Since my inspection date is coming soon I thought I would share some detail with you on how to pass. If you do not pass Inspection.. you will be charged extra on your next paycheck, I believe 25 dollars extra taken out of your paycheck so that they can hire people to CLEAN YOUR APARTMENT FOR YOU.

sooooooo,.. I did not get "White glove" and the box of chocolate that comes with it, white glove is only given to rooms that are crystal clean! however I was reward with cookies, not just one but 2 bags of cookies that I was quite pleased with. My errors? well...I forgot to clean the inside of my microwave. I will surely am for it this time. It's much easier to keep a tidy room with just 2 people, imagine having to force all your roommates to clean up for inspection.. there will be alot of drama!!

Let's all try to get the white glove.. or passing with cookies is Okay tooo.

Here's how I do it... before every inspection date, I would arrange a day for me and my roommate to get together to visit the clubhouse, where we can borrow vacuum, mop, broom and other cleaning equipment that you might need. After tidying up the room, we would just vacuum and wash down, usually the day before inspection, HOWEVER, keep in mind that the clubhouse for chatham, patterson and the commons usually close at 5:00pm so if you're working that day and you dont get off till late, I suggest you do your cleaning a day where you can actually borrow the equipment ( I hate how early the clubhouse closes!) Somedays they will be opened later than usual, so just find out the time and set up your schedule to prepare for cleaning.

Make sure to clean your kitchen: the sink, the stove, fridge, microwave, and keep everything looking neat.. i mean EVEN Your fridge, dont think you can get away with just stuffing everything into your cabinets lol

Make sure to make your bed, just fold it nicely, keep it looking neat and clean.

Make sure you clean your bathroom, the floors should be washed, no hair, bathtubs cleaned and toliets... must be in the same condition as when you first arrived.

and lastly, do not forget to vacuum and dust.

After inspection takes place, they will leave you a piece of paper, saying what they have checked and what was wrong.

GOOD LUCK with white glove!

and Have a magical day.

My new View on Vista Way

Duffy and I ( randomness)

Sooooooooo.. it's been a while, Been busy with ALOT OF Class assignments, group work.. online assignments for my advisor back at college and working OF course. I finally found some time to put this wonderful writing together about how things can Change. Well.. Remember my post regarding Vista vs Chatham vs Patterson!

I noticed that I could not just make judgement without looking deeper into it. I absolutely Love the activeness of Vista Way. It's really not like what people say it is, It's not dangerous or wild, well it may be wild but in a good way and I haven't seen nothing but friendly people around there. I must say.. one thing though... WHY IS VISTA WAY THE ONLY HOUSING COMPLEX WITH A HOT TUBS AND A computer LAB with movies to rent/watch and opened till midnight?!?!?! I am soo in love with the hot tub.. People use to say many negatives to me about going to the Hot tub at Vista Way such as getting pregnant, people doing some inappropriate things in there but it's really NOT true, there is nothing going on there but all friendly people trying to get to know more people. Sometimes you get crazy people there but I mean crazy as in crazy happy people. There are two hot tubs located on Vista way. one at the front pool by the bus stop, that one is questionable so if you want to be safe, go to the one in the back. The hot tub closes by midnight, if you are not out by then, the security will kick you back to your apartments. There is a pool and a gym right next to it, NOTHING IS going to happen to you so just sit back relax and enjoy the relaxing bubbles.. HOT TUBS ARE SOO meant for a busy days after work.

Another thing I really love about Vista Way is the Midnight computer labs with fast internet and a large screen TV for DVDs. This is also the only place YOU CAN BORROW movies and books, 2 can be taken out at once with your Disney ID. The clubhouse/front desk for chatham, patterson, commons all close at 5:00 so by the time I get off work, I cant borrow anything like vaccum or sports stuff or even use the computer lab to print hw. I hate how Vista and Chatham are soo far apart, getting there can be a pain, it's annoying if I just want to go over there to borrow a dvd or return dvds, hottub and internet that I actually game with.,, and then having to travel all the way back to Chatham.. If Only i lived at Vista, I mean ALL THE buses take their breaks there so if your working bus takes you home around their breaks hours, like mine, you'll have to wait till they are finished their break to go back to Chatham which is like another 10- 15 longer.. You can take another bus but its common for all the buses to be taking the same breaks at the same time. BUT, If i lived at Vista I would be home earlier like all those people who get off at VISTA, damnit!! Vista is like the bus base and the main base for everything. As much as I am loving stuff about Vista, I alway hear people at vista complaining about their apartments how stuff is so worn out and breaking. I would not like that for living.

Oh yes and I love ALL the active, friendly, nice people I've met at Vista.

Chatham oh Chatham, when will you become the complex that I had hoped for?

ahaha

HAVE A MAGICAL DAY GUYS !
