Life plans!

The last few months I have been thinking long and hard about what I want to do when my program ends in May. I have always been pretty certain that I want to live in Florida and work for Disney and so that's exactly what I am going to do. My current program ends on May 14th and after that I will be moving into a house with a few other girls from my ward! I'm going to become a season cast member, at least until something more permanent comes up. Sometime in the near future, I will be trained to be a trainer for new cast members, which will give me something new and lots more to learn! But most importantly I am going to be working on getting into the Leadership Casting pool. Which basically means I will apply and go through all the interview processes and then if you get selected to be in the pool, then they give you temporary assignments as needed. So basically you still have nothing permanent, but its a good place to start.

I spoke with my manager about all this last night and while its something that I really want to do and am very interested in, it all is a little scary. There is a lot of work and preperation that I need to do this and the whole applying, interviewing, and meet and greet process is overwhelming, but I'm excited for the challenge. I know that I want to stay with Disney long term, so I'm planning to do everything in my ability to make that happen!

In other aspects of life things have been good. I have spent a lot of time at the parks lately with my friends. I have now met 36 characters and amazingly I still have a long way to go before I get all their autographs. I attended a singles dance on Friday and it was the first one I actually enjoyed. My singles ward just got a new building and we've been there two Sundays now. Before we were meeting at a hotel, which was actually a lot closer to my apartment, but its nice to be in a real church again.

Mostly my life consists of work. Since I work five nights a week, it doesn't leave much time fore anything else. But I love my job and I'm really sad to see another program coming to an end and some of my friends will be leaving. The turnover is always tough, but I think it will be easier this time around. Other then that, not much else excitement is going on!!!

  1. Phew! A little more time to plan an excursion to see you there... I'd be too gun shy to try without an expert!
