"'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of : cost
There's a couple of things get: lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed..."
So my life since spring break has been ridiculously busy! Last week was one of the most stressful, awful weeks I've ever had; I felt like I had no control over anything. Let's just say that my life is a roller coaster, and last week I wasn't quite tall enough to ride...
So the Wednesday after spring break I went to an interview for the Disney College Program. I didn't really think I would get an offer seeing that I'm a first-year college student with no work experience, but seeing that working for Disney is my dream, I figured I should go for it. Well, after my first-ever interview for a job, I was told by the recruiter that I was perfect! They warned me that nothing was official yet, but that I was just the kind of person Disney wants. I cannot explain in words how excited I was - talk about total cloud-nine for about four days. I went on my Connect with Tech retreat, and I went home and interviewed for a summer job at the Gap (pretty much a go as long as I clear my background check!), and everything was amazing...
So basically, to make a really long, depressing story short, the Georgia Institute of Technology is one very large dream-crushing institution, and they're being very large meanies about the college program. I started researching what I would have to do to go on the college program and get it approved by the school so that I can retain full-time student status, and just nothing was going right. Tuesday was the longest dau of my life as I was shuttled between the career services office, upi, the registrar, and my advisor trying to get questions answered and see what the possibilities were. Wednesday I was in Athens for the afternoon to see my sister and get ready for the Athens trip I was to take that weekend. Well, in the span of two hours, my weekend trip was off, then on, then off, then on maybe, then off due to transportation difficulties. With the disappointment of my canceled Athens trip, the stress of this internship/college program dilemma, plus the additional stress of classes, tests, and homework, I spent all of Thursday pretty much sobbing (in class, in my room, at the chorus concert, you know...the works). I went to the Luda concert, but I left early because I just felt so bad. Friday my mom told me to come home and get away from everything, and there's no way I could turn that down, so I went home and essentially passed out.
Yesterday I got back to school to do Connect with Tech shadowing, and I checked my mail and found a package notification. I called Erin and told her that we got something from one of our aunts and that she should check her mail tomorrow, but she said that she hadn't received any notifications. I called my mom, and she said that as far as she knew, nothing had been sent. Of course, my mind immediately thought of a Disney acceptance, and I spent all night and morning dwelling on it. In a first for me, I left calculus ten minutes early and went to the package window, and...
I got accepted!!!
It was pretty much as exciting as getting accepted to Tech was, lol. I tore through that envelope! So now the ball's in my court, and it's my decision now. It's not going to be an easy decision to make, and I'm thinking of asking if they would defer my acceptnace to the spring, or seeing if I can interview again without a penalty for the spring program. I think it will be easier in spring for insurance purposes because I'll be here in the semester preceding the internship semester so I can keep my status and whatnot...I'm so happy though! It's a relief to know that they want me, and I want them, and somehow this will all work out! Yay me!
"Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true!"
