The Process

September 2011: I noticed a Orientation Leaders wanted ad on Tbird Connection!
Early October 2011: I submitted my application and resume to Sheena Kauppila, the director of Orientation.
October 31, 2011: Deadline for applications.  I crossed my fingers and waited for an email or a call!
November 1-4, 2011: Group interviews.  Mine went well!  I did a skit on being a TBird with other interviewee's and we had to put together a group of fake "O"-Leaders.  I made some great new friends!
November 5, 2011: Got an email saying I had done well during the group interviews and I was invited to come back for a personal interview the following week!
November 7-11, 2011: Personal interviews.  In my interview I was asked lots of scenario questions....then I was asked, 'If you could be a Princess, who would you be?" Best Question Ever!
November 18, 2011, 11:04 am: Got an email from Sheena that said this:
