Longer wait = more impatience.

After having heard from numerous people on the WDWIP forums - who had heard via emails from Yummy Jobs - that the applications were closing as soon as January 15th, with phone interviews at the end of January and face to face interviews in March, the Yummy Jobs website now says this:

UK Applicants: Applications are open from January 5th 2011 to February 28th 2011. We are currently accepting applications for positions primarily starting in the latter half of 2011 and early 2012. Applications will be reviewed in March 2011 and all applicants will be responded to by early April 2011.


So now we have to wait until APRIL to find out whether or not we've been successful in the first round of applicants alone. Now, admittedly, this doesn't affect me that much. And I don't have an issue when I go, as long as I get to go. I just liked the idea of the January applications being so much quicker so that I could find out whether or not I'd be going on the CRP by April.

I'm also a little nervous now, because I'm going on holiday (to WDW - oh, the irony) at the end of March and will be away until the second week in April. What if they contact me while I'm over there, offering me a phone interview? I know that they allow you to choose when your phone interview is, but I'm sure there's only a limited amount of days. If I'm away for all of them, I won't be able to do it. Which would make this wait even more torturous that it's going to be.

Someone whose blog I read remarked that applying for the CRP is never as simple as it seems. I think I'm beginning to realise that already ...

Just applied!

Applications for the CRP starting between July and December 2011 opened today, and I just submitted my application. I had a moment of dffgugdfjgfjgb what am I doing why am I doing this slash ohmyGod I hope I get this, but it's okay, I've calmed down now.

I want this so much, but there's a few things in my life right now (a friend's wedding and my boyfriend, most importantly) that if I don't get in this time around, I will know is a sign that I'm meant to stay for these things. If I don't get in this time around, I will keep applying until I do.

And now the waiting begins ... eek.
