{the wait begins...}

well, i had my interview today with christy/kristi/however you spell her name (her name has become somewhat of a joke on the facebook group, lol). anyway, she was really nice and easy to talk to, and the interview was was quicker and less intense than i thought it would be. she didn't ask me about my favorite character or rides, but for attractions she asked where i'd like to be, and i said hollywood studios. i didn't even get the space mountain question! but we spent most of the 'role' time talking about photopass - how i'm used to the equipment and carrying it around, etc - so i'm really hoping that when i get that purple folder it will say photopass: hollywood studios. she told me i'd know by the end of february, so i only have to wait three and a half weeks tops. i'm already dying! at least i'm not nervous anymore.

i probably should introduce myself too, huh? i'm emily, a senior studio art major at hartwick college in oneonta, ny. i have two concentrations - photo and digital art, but photo is really my passion. i'll be graduating in may, and i know that i'm not going to grad school anytime soon, so i knew this was my last chance to do the college program. the economy is dead anyway, so i figured this was my best option lol. at first, when i filled out the application, it was more of an alternative incase i couldn't find a job/paying internship anywhere, but as the days passed and i got closer to my interview and got to know some of the people on the facebook group, i realized that it wasn't an alternative at all but actually my first choice. my dad is definitely a little skeptical, but that's too bad lol - everyone else has been majorly supportive. i know it will be hard to be away from my bf for 5 months - we've practically lived together for almost 3 and 1/2 years now, but we can make it work. he'll just have to come visit me.

anyway, enough rambling. i'll check in soon, when i have more to report. :)
