Rain, rain, go away! + Celebrity Sighting (Possibly)

Today I was taking photos at the park, but due to rain, that fun was cut short. I was even set to take a group photo for the popular Disney Fan community, Mice Chat. That would have been so cool!

During this time I think I MIGHT have seen a semi-celebrity. Ryan Dunn. This name would really only sound familiar if you're into the whole "Jackass" movement. I don't know for sure if it was him, but I'm pretty sure.

Week 3 Recap!

This was a pretty big week! Here's why:

1. I started WORKING! I am officially a working PhotoPass Photographer :) The first day was an exciting learning experience, and I don't think I will ever forget it. The people I work with are so awesome. Plus, I got to wave to guests as the park opened at 9am. That was so fun!

2. I met my roommates! Their names are Heather and Sarah, and I freaking love them already. They are both so happy and funny. Definitely enjoyable to be around.

3. I got "Icon Photo of the Night" at Tower of Terror! Super cool!

I love my job!

Week 1 & 2 Recap!

I guess I forgot to make a "Week 1 Recap." Now I can see why so many college programmers disappear once the program starts. I've been so busy, busy, busy!

Well, the new roommates are here, and they are both SO nice. The 3 of us fit surprisingly well in the one-bedroom apartment.

Tip to people thinking about joining the program: BRING AS LITTLE AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!

Packing light is so essential, but I would recommend bringing your own dishes and utensils. Not much is provided in that department.

Also: MATTRESS PAD! Bring one!

I don't want to ruin any of the magic for possible readers, so I won't really be talking about "work" on here. I will say that I feel very fortunate to be working at such a magical place! It's going to be an exciting 7 months!

This past week has been FULL of new experiences, and I have a feeling this upcoming week will be too!
