Almost There - The Countdown Begins!

Hello there! I haven't posted in a while since there hasn't been much to talk about. This semester has been so crazy, and while I'm going to miss SJC, I couldn't imagine a better time to go down to Florida for the DCP! The Show Choir raised over $2,000 for our Disney trip, and we just returned from our magical adventure. If it is possible, it made me even more excited to do the program. We did a Show Choir Magic workshop, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. We had the most amazing time, and our instructor was an absolute perfect match for our group. We had a surprise visitor at the end of the workshop, and our performance was live streamed to Downtown Disney which is pretty cool! It was stressful planning the trip because it was booked through the school, so I'm glad everything went smoothly and that everyone had a great time. Here are a few pictures from the trip!







Now that the trip is over, I can focus on preparing for my move down to Disney World!

Just a couple of updates about the DCP! We found a fifth suitemate, and she is really nice! We will have three people in one room and two in the other. This will drop the price of rent dramatically, and we'll be able to use that money to have extra special experiences at the parks! Plus, we're really happy with the group we have now and wouldn't want to change it! I also signed up for Disney Heritage, which was like a little online battle between DCP participants. I woke up 15 minutes before registration began and had my my mouse on the "submit" button until 10:00am arrived. Almost everyone registering for classes had glitches with the system due to the overwhelming amount of people trying to sign up. So many people registered that a week later, they took the people on the waiting list off the waiting list, then put others who thought they were enrolled in the class on the waiting list. The fact that I got into the class was an absolute blessing, and I am so grateful! That's about the only update I have so far, but things will really get more exciting when I get down there in February! I may do some vlogs instead of blog entries depending on what my schedule is like because that might be a little less time-consuming, but we shall see!
