Opportunity of a Lifetime...

I spent 15 hours yesterday on the set of Disney's "High School Musical 3: Senior Year". I was jumping up and down in the bleachers of East High School in Salt Lake City, playing a diehard Wildcat fan. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. We started shooting at 11 am, went until our 4 pm dinner break, then shot until 12:45 am with one drink break. I thought I was going to die from jumping up and down and screaming for so long. I was unaware that my body was capable of emitting that much energy at one time, but I am truly impressed by myself. 


Now, for the part I know you're all waiting for: the details on when and where you can spot me

The very opening of the movie is the championship between East High and West High. This is the only scene I'm in (so far) but it's a very important part of the movie. LOL I can be found in the main crowd, in front of the East High flag girls and the huge East High sign... also next to some random Asian guy. I can also be found right next to the white tuba in the East High band. I'm thinking the shots of the pep band will be the best opportunity to find me.

So, needless to say i am super excited about this and I hope I will be able to actually be able to spot myself in the movie. For those of you who know that Disney is seriously my own personal form of heroin, this is the coolest thing ever. 

I hope you all plan on going to see the movie in theaters, if nothing else than for the opening scene. :)

Ciao!

Hi this is Alex with the Westgate in Park City! How are you doin?

Yeah, please let out a chuckle... your darling girl is a telemarketer. But I'm not one of those super annoying ones who are selling you a credit card or a magazine subscription, I actually call people to bribe them with a free night stay up in one of our 5-star suites so that they'll take a tour and then tell their friends about it! It's actually a really honest business and the managers and employees here are super awesome. The work environment is laid-back and cool. Don't get me wrong, it's not all butterflies and candy corn. I get hung up on a lot and plenty of people get mad when I call during dinner or American Idol. But I actually like my job! I get to talk to some very interesting people and when I do book a tour, it's extremely satisfying! They pay isn't amazing, but it's one step closer to being financially independent and working for a marketing company will look good on my resume.

Other than that, life in Provo is uneventful. Sunnier and more fun! But uneventful. LOL

I hope you're all enjoying the spring! :)

Ciao!
