Love it. I am beyond excited to embark on my studies at the SCHOOL OF SCARING at Monsters University next week in San Francisco. Do you have any special questions you’d like me to ask when I’m up close at the Pixar Campus (aka Monsters University headquarters) ???? Please let me know so I can get all the scoop for everyone – anything Monsters or Pixar related and I’ll do my best to find out insider info.
Check out the sweet surprise package that arrived in my mailbox yesterday.
Isn’t this Alumni newsletter too cool? The School of Scaring ranks #1 for the 143rd year. Woohoo!
It’s time for me to start packing too as school starts on April 8th. More details on my course of studies are below.
I am literally ecstatic about this fun trip. My kids are also begging me to hide them in my suitcase as they are hoping to enroll at Monsters U themselves. I can’t blame them as it looks like so much fun!
