Disney Time

Okay all, I've arrived back in the States, after a surprisingly enjoyable trip home. I actually had conversations on the taxi and the plane that weren't awkward and boring, so the time went by fast.

To update those of you who are confused as to why I've come home from Japan early, it's kind of a complicated situation. I got into the final round of the Disney Imagi-Nations Design Competition (for theme park ideas), which is something I've been working on for about 9 months, so I'm skipping 2 weeks of school in Japan to give a presentation to Disney and to see what the Imagineering studio is actually like.

After my two weeks here in CA, I'll be flying back to Japan for a week of final exams, researching geishas and hostesses, and closing ceremonies; and then I'm coming back to L.A. for a summer internship with Disney! Then I'll get to see if Disney really is my dream-workplace as I've always believed. If it's not, I can move on to finding something that works better; and if it is, well maybe I'll finally be on my way to deciding what I want to do with my life. In my opinion, something that important is worth the inconveniences that I'm going through. I really do think it'll be a worthwhile and very purposeful experience for me. I'm actually happy and excited to see what happens.
