Vi's WDW CareerStart Spring 2010

Leaving in ONE WEEK

2010-01-31T15:55:00.000-08:00

One Week Left!

That's Right! Only one week left before I leave for Walt Disney World! I'm so excited! My family has been a real pain, and it makes me want to leave even more. I get to get away from these people! Now I dont have to worry about being annoyed or agrivated everyday. It's the greatest thing ever.

A lot of people have asked me what I REALLY want to do in Disney. I want to become a Voice Actor for Disney Movies/Shows, Video Games, and Dubbed Anime. Of course I have to start from the bottom with Quick Service Food & Beverage, but you always have to start somewhere, right? After the CareerStart Program, I hope to get an apartment and go to a college in Florida and continue to work for Disney. I have to start Voice Training Classes too. I know if I tried, I'd have quite a range for my voice. Im always making different voices. I just have to get used to doing it in front of people for a job.

I'v done more trial packing. Im pretty sure im going to be able to get everything into the one suitcase.

Friends said I should wear my school girl uniform to FL xD Think I will :D

Only 13 days left until I leave for Walt Disney World! I'v got pretty much everything I need to bring with me. Im sure you guys know how excited I am! Iv got a nice digital camera to take...I believe it said 1200 pictures at 12MPs. 8D So i'll have plenty to show you guys. I can't wait to meet my future roomie! She's awesome :3 And everyone else going down for February 8th!

2010-01-20T09:12:00.000-08:00

I can't believe how quick time is going by. Only 18 more days until check in!

I finally bought my plane ticket. I leave from Logan Airport at 12:05pm on February 7th. I should get there around 3:16ish it said. Then i'm getting picked up by my awesome future roommate Becca~ :D

I had a going away thing in Cambridge the other day. I had so much fun, but i'm going to miss my awesome friends like crazy. We met up at the Garage and then went to Leo's for food. Then we ended up looking in stores and went to the playground to be awesome.

I can't believe it's almost time though. I wanted to do the Careerstart Fall 09, but they actually recruited for that....more like just picked people. So i'v been waiting for this for a long time!

Handbook 2010

HANDBOOK 2010

Health:

1. Drink plenty of water. – This will be especially important in the hot Florida sun.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy – You will definitely need to keep your Energy and Enthusiasm up while working, as well as in every day life.
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games – Don’t forget to have fun.
7. Read more books than you did in 2009 .
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day – Take some time to unwind after work everyday.
9. Sleep for 7 hours. – If not 7 hours at least try to get enough so you are not exhausted the next day; you’ll need to the sleep to keep up your Energy and Enthusiasm – you don’t want to get burnt-out.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile. – I honestly don’t think this should be a problem for anyone doing the CP or CS programs!

Personality:

11. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don’t over do. Keep your limits. – Remember not to overwork yourself just to earn more, know when you have taken on more than you can handle as you don’t want to get burnt-out and end up resenting the whole experience.
14. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
18. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present

Happiness.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. – Well . . . Except maybe The Mouse (Mickey that is) – Just Kidding
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. – You may encounter many obstacles on your program but remember they will teach lessons you will remember, probably, for the rest of your life.
23. Smile and laugh more. – How can you not smile and laugh when working @ the “Happiest Place on Earth” But seriously, the more you smile and laugh the more likely you and the people around you will be happy.
24. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree…
Society:
25. Call your family often. – More than likely you will get homesick, but remember your family is just a phone call away! (Hey, they may even just be a video chat away.)
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything..
28. Spend time w/ people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day. – Or More!
30. What other people think of you is none of your business. – Just be yourself and don’t care about what others think.
31. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
34. GOD heals everything.

36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. – You never know what the day will bring … Your mood could change in the blink of an eye.
37. The best is yet to come.. – Remember this is only the beginning.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Your Inner most (self) is always happy. So, be happy. Last but not the least:
40. Forward this to everyone you care about, I just did … or just post it to your own blog

Introduction

2009-12-28T07:32:00.000-08:00

I'v been accepted to the Walt Disney World CareerStart Program! Well...I was accepted months ago, I'm just finally blogging about it. My arrival date is February 8th. I'v been selected to be a Quick Service Food & Beverage Cast Member.

Yesterday I did a little shopping for Disney. I got two HUGE luggage bags for only $40. Thank god for flea markets. I was looking at the prices for luggage stuff and its horrible lol

Got my laundry bag, combination lock, towels, and more basic stuff. I have to call my health insurance people and ask if I can stay on with them in FL. I need to go to the doctors every 3 months, So I need my health insurance. I also thought I lost my social security card O__o but thank god my mom found it in a box of papers the other day. She usually keeps it in the safe, and she thought she gave it to me for something (she didnt give it to me xD) and thought I lost it. But once again, we find stuff in her many boxes of papers lol.

So there's 41 days left until check in~ 40 days until I leave :D Im so excited~ I still need to buy my plane ticket too. It sucks I don't have money to buy a Digital Camera for my adventure though >:

Hopefully I'll remember to update this once in a while!
