And so it begins...

Weeks ago, I was going about my day just like any other when my phone rang.  Casually answering the call from an unknown number, I literally almost pooped my pants when I discovered it was SeaWorld on the other line... yeah that's right, SEAWORLD.  Even if you barely know me, you probably know that I am obsessed with whales, particularly Orcas.  Not to mention that working at SeaWorld had only been a dream of mine since I was a chubby middle schooler with a mouth full of braces (we all remember those awkward years).

After nearly having an accident, I started to pay attention to what the chipper SeaWorld employee (Bruce, great guy) was saying to me.  Basically, they wanted to interview me for their college internship program that would take place in Orlando and last the whole summer. HOLY CRAP.  I was in utter disbelief.


 Oh, by the way, here's pretty much what I looked like as soon as I got off the phone.  But they were happy tears, don't worry.

The next day I interviewed with SeaWorld via phone.  They asked me four rather strange questions and that was it.  I was told that I would be contacted either way but there was no specific time frame

After waiting, and waiting... and then some more waiting, I received an email from SeaWorld congratulating me on being accepted into the Summer 2013 College Experience Internship Program!  Again, HOLY CRAP.  In even more shock than the first time, I called/texted just about everyone I knew and let them know.  My mom thought someone died because I called her sobbing (sorry Connie).

So, here we are!  In just 5 short days, I will be venturing across the country with my adorable parents and moving to Orlando for the entire summer!  I have no clue what to expect but man oh man am I overjoyed for this opportunity! Stay tuned for the adventures of Becca and Shamu!


Whale that's a wrap!

WHALE FUN FACT:   

A killer whale can't smile because the blubber in its head keeps its face muscles from reaching the surface.
