The Engineering Part

Since this is about my training for Imagineering, I should mention what I have been up to besides just the Disney stuff...

I have been recording my friends' band Worst Case Ontario.

I have done a session with a different set of friends' band Tomato Face. Also got to help with their sound check one night at a show.

(check them both out on Facebook!!)

I am in a club called StudioLife, learning tons of audio stuff, giving me access to a multimillion dollar set of recording and mixing studios. Through it I also work the shows hosted in the building. I've done one- live recording- and this week I will record a show live, and the next night work as a stage hand.

I have put in a few hours at the school's theatre scene shop (these were required for a class), but it's still a step in the right direction.

TO DO LIST:

1. Get in touch with the community theatre on volunteering
2. Get in touch with the guy running sound at the school's theatre

It's not much compared to many of the peers I work with here, but it's more then I ever had before. My audio background before college was the one show I ran for a summer production at my high school and helping put in the new sound system at my parents' church. Baby steps!

Congratulations!!

I GOT IN!!!!

The day came about a month ago. I got the email and my jaw dropped, I then preceded to fall out of bed, burst out the door to run downstairs to tell my best friend the news. I cried for like an hour because of the overwhelming joy I had from finally getting a job at the Happiest Place on Earth. I'll spend the spring and summer working Quick Service Food and Beverage in Orlando. Eight months of hard work, and bliss.

Still working on my Disney College Program Bucket List, but will post and update as I complete it.

My countdown says 75 days until I check in. Registration for classes has already opened. That, in and of itself is nerve racking. Yes there are tons of classes to choose from, but of course I have to be difficult and place my name for the waiting list for one of the professional studies classes. From what I have read, they go through and check everyone's major before you can officially enroll because they are major specific. They are also extremely difficult to get into in general so I'm pretty worried about that.

TimeKeeper game thingy finally opened tonight and I played, and finished it in a couple hours and was pretty disappointed that all it was was disney trivia and heritage. Personally, I knew pretty much everything, then again I've read the largest Disney biography out there and have the toughest disney trivia book.
